Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Designation of
Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Redesignation of the
Philadelphia County Carbon Monoxide Area to Attainment and Approval of
the Area's Maintenance Plan and the Philadelphia County 1990 Base Year
Carbon Monoxide Emission Inventory; Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purpose
of approving a maintenance plan, the 1990 base year carbon monoxide
(CO) emissions inventory for Philadelphia County and a request to
redesignate the Philadelphia County carbon monoxide nonattainment area,
from nonattainment to attainment for CO. In the Final Rules section of
this Federal Register, EPA is approving the Commonwealth's SIP revision
as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views
this as a noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the
direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to
this proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to
this rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will
be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a
subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments must be received in writing by February 29, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to
