ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[PA 114-4085; FRL-6325-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Approval of Revision to the 1990 Baseyear Emission
Inventory for One Source
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve a revision to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted
by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) on
April 8, 1998. This revision consists of including the carbon monoxide
(CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides
(NOX) emissions from Rockwell Heavy Vehicles, Inc., New
Castle Forge Plant, in Lawrence County (Rockwell) in the point source
portion of Pennsylvania's 1990 baseyear emission inventory. The
intended effect of this action is to grant approval of the revision to
the 1990 baseyear inventory and in so doing to render Rockwell's
emissions eligible for consideration as emission reduction credits
(ERCs) in accordance with the Pennsylvania SIP. EPA is approving the
revision to the 1990 baseyear emissions inventory for Rockwell in
accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act. In the ``Rules
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving
the State's SIP submittal 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. A more detailed description of
the state submittal and EPA's evaluation are included in a Technical
Support Document (TSD) prepared in support of this rulemaking action. A
copy of the TSD is available, upon request, from the EPA Regional
Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. If EPA
receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further action on this
proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the
direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address all
public comments 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 May 17, 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
