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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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
