ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[VA 097-5041; FRL-6459-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Virginia; Control of VOC Emissions From Solvent Metal Cleaning
Operations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia. The revisions
pertain to and clarify the Commonwealth's regulation to control of
volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from solvent metal cleaning
operations using non-halogenated solvents, and update another of its
regulations to incorporate certain federal regulations by reference. In
the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the
Commonwealth's SIP revision requests as a direct final rule without
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial
submittal 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 action, no further activity
is contemplated. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 December 3, 1999.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to David Arnold, Chief,
Ozone and Mobile Sources Branch, Mailcode 3AP21, U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the documents relevant to this action are
available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Air
Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III,
1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103; Air and Radiation
