40 CFR Part 52

[DE26-1-6940b; FRL-5320-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Delaware: Regulation 24, Control of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions 
(VOC RACT Catch-Ups)

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 on December 19, 1994. The 
revision consists of Sections 10, 11, 12, 44, 45, 47, 48, and 49 and 
Appendices I, K, L and M to Regulation 24--``Control of Volatile 
Organic Compound Emissions''. These regulations are necessary to 
satisfy the Clean Air Act (CAA) and to support attainment and 
maintenance of the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for 
ozone in Delaware. In the Final Rules section of the 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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 submitted in writing by February 26, 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.
