ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[SIPTRAX No. PA-4058b; FRL-5832-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Approval of VOC and NOx RACT Determinations 
for Individual Sources

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 compound (VOC) and nitrogen oxides 
(NOx) reasonably available control technology (RACT) for 
five major sources located in Pennsylvania. In the Final Rules section 
of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the Commonwealth'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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. If adverse comments are received 
that do not pertain to all documents subject to this rulemaking action, 
those documents not affected by the adverse comments will be finalized 
in the manner described here. Only those documents that receive adverse 
comments will be withdrawn in the manner described here.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by July 3, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to David 
Campbell, Air, Radiation, and Toxics Division, Mailcode 3AT22, U.S.
