ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[PA-4056b; FRL-5809-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Approval of Source-Specific VOC and NOX RACT 
Determinations

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 for the purpose 
of establishing volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxide 
(NOX) reasonably available control technology (RACT) for four 
facilities. 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 and the accompanying 
Technical Support Document. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 19, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to David 
J. Campbell, Pennsylvania RACT Team Leader, Mailcode 3AT22, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building,

this action are available for public inspection during normal business
