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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 
Marcia L. Spink, Associate Director, Air Programs (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

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On August 10, 1993, the West Virginia Office 
of Air Quality (WVOAQ) submitted a SIP revision to EPA. This SIP 
revision would add West Virginia Regulation Title 45, Series 29,''Rule 
Requiring the Submission of Emission Statements for Volatile Organic 
Compounds and Oxides of Nitrogen Emissions,'' consisting of 
Subsections: 1. General; 2. Definitions; 3. Applicability; 4. 
Compliance Schedule; 5. Emission Statement Requirements; 6. 
Enforceability; and 7. Severability, effective July 7, 1993 in the 
State of West Virginia. In accordance with the requirements of 40 CFR 
51.102, a public hearing concerning West Virginia's SIP revision was 
held on June 23, 1993, in Charleston, West Virginia.

title which is located in the Rules and Regulations Section of this
