    Clean Air Act Promulgation of Extension of Attainment Date for 
    the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley Moderate Ozone Nonattainment Area; 
    Pennsylvania
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Proposed rule.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: EPA proposes to extend the attainment date for the Pittsburgh-
    Beaver County moderate ozone nonattainment area in Pennsylvania to 
    November 15, 1997. This extension is based in part on monitored air 
    quality readings for the national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) 
    for ozone during 1996. Accordingly, EPA proposes to update the table in 
    40 CFR part 81 concerning attainment dates in the State of 
    Pennsylvania. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the 
    direct final rule and accompanying 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    receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 March 27, 1997.
