ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[DE26-1-6940; FRL-5444-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Delaware: Amendment of Final Rule Pertaining to Regulation 24--Control 
of Volatile Organic Compound Emissions, Section 47--Offset Lithographic 
Printing

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Amendment of direct final rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On January 26, 1996, EPA published approval of a State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by Delaware (61 FR 2419) 
pertaining to Delaware Regulation 24, Control of Volatile Organic 
Compound Emissions, sections 10, 11, 12, 44, 45, 47, 48, and 49, and 
Appendices I, K, L, and M, effective November 29, 1994. These sections 
of Regulation 24 establish additional emission standards that represent 
the application of reasonably available control technology (RACT) to 
categories of stationary sources of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). 
This action was published without prior proposal. Because EPA received 
adverse comments on a section of this action, EPA is withdrawing the 
reference pertaining to Regulation 24, section 47, Offset Lithographic 
Printing.

EFFECTIVE DATE: March 26, 1996.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Rose Quinto, (215) 597-3164.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA approved this direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the agency viewed it as a noncontroversial 
amendment and anticipated no adverse comments. The direct final rule 
was published, without prior proposal, in the Federal Register (61 FR 
2419) with a provision for a 30 day comment period. At the same time, 
EPA published a proposed rule which announced that this final rule 
would convert to a proposed rule in the event that adverse comments 
were submitted to EPA within 30 days of publication of the rule in the 
Federal Register (61 FR 2464). By publishing a document announcing 
withdrawal of the final rule action, this action would be withdrawn. 
EPA received adverse comments within the prescribed comment period on 
section 47, Offset Lithographic Printing. Therefore, EPA is withdrawing 
the reference pertaining to Regulation 24, section 47 only. All public 
comments received will be addressed in a subsequent rulemaking action 
based on the proposed rule.
