    Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
    Virginia: Definition of VOC and Emission Control Areas
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Proposed rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
    revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia on November 4, 1992. 
    The revision consists of amendments to Virginia's definition of the 
    term volatile organic compound (VOC) and administrative changes to 
    Virginia's lists of emission control areas for VOC and oxides of 
    nitrogen (NOx). Virginia's November 4, 1992, SIP revision 
    submittal also contained an emission statement regulation. The portion 
    of Virginia's November 4, 1992, submittal pertaining to emission 
    statements is the subject of a separate rulemaking action.
        In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
    approving the Commonwealth's November 4, 1992, 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 and technical support document (TSD) prepared for that rulemaking 
    action. 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    withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 November 18, 1994.
    
    ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
    Thomas J. Maslany, Director, Air, Radiation, and Toxics Division

    Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107. Copies of the documents
