ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[PA028-5913b; FRL-5427-3]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania--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 Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This revision
consists of an emission statement program for stationary sources that
emit volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and/or nitrogen oxides
(NOx) at or above specified actual emission threshold levels
within the County of Allegheny only. In the Final Rules section of this
Federal Register, EPA is approving the Pennsylvania'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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn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 May 2, 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 Pennsylvania Department of Environmental
Protection, Bureau of Air Quality Control, P.O. Box 8468, 400 Market
