40 CFR Part 52

[DE013-5915b; FRL-5425-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
State of Delaware; Emission Statement Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of Delaware. This revision consists of 
an emission statement program for stationary sources that emit volatile 
organic compounds (VOCs) and/or nitrogen oxides (NOx) at or above 
specified actual emission threshold levels within the state of Delaware 
(Kent, New Castle, and Sussex Counties). In the Final Rules section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is approving the Delaware'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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 March 29, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Marcia L. Spink, Associate 
Director, Air Programs, Mailcode 3AT00, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 
19107. Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available 
for public inspection during normal business hours at the EPA office 
listed above; and the Delaware Department of Natural Resources & 
Environmental Control, 89 Kings Highway, P.O. Box 1401, Dover, Delaware 
19903.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rose Quinto, [phone], at the 
EPA Region III address.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the Direct 
Final action of the same title (Delaware Emission Statement Program) 
which is located in the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal 
Register.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.

    Dated: February 2, 1996.
