ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[WV10-1-5918b; FRL-5265-8]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
State of West Virginia--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 West Virginia. This revision
consists of an emission statement program for stationary sources which
emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or nitrogen oxides
(NOX) specified actual emission threshold levels. This program
applies to stationary sources within the counties of Putnam, Kanawha,
Cabell, Wayne, Wood, and Greenbrier. The SIP revision was submitted by
the State to satisfy the Clean Air Act's requirements for an emission
statement program as part of the ozone SIP for the State of West
Virginia. 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 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 5, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to
