40 CFR Part 52
[PA 042-4067b; FRL-5874-1]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Approval of Definitions for the Pennsylvania VOC and
NOX RACT and New Source Review Regulations
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 definitions for twenty-seven terms used in the new source
review and reasonably available control technology (RACT) regulations.
The intended effect of this action is to approve the definitions in
Pennsylvania regulation, Chapter 121.1. 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. If no adverse comments are received in response to this proposed
[[Page 43134]]
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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn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 September 11, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to David L. Arnold,
Chief, Ozone/CO and Mobile Sources, Mailcode 3AT21, 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
Air, Radiation, and Toxics Division, U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
