ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[PA 70-1-7207b; FRL-5338-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Approval of Source-Specific VOC and NOx RACT and
Synthetic Minor Permit Conditions
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. This revision
establishes and requires reasonably available control technology (RACT)
on one major source and establishes permit conditions to limit eight
source's emissions to below major source levels. In the Final Rules
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State'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 and the technical support document. 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 amended to withdraw any
permits that are the subject of adverse comments. Public comments will
be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.
Only those permits for which EPA receives adverse comments will be
addressed by this subsequent 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 March 13, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to
Marcia L. Spink, Associate Director, Air Programs, Mailcode 3AT00, U.S.
