40 CFR Part 52
[PA 103-21b; FRL-5898-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Pennsylvania; Approval of NOX RACT Determination for Panther
Creek Energy Facility
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 nitrogen oxides (NOX) reasonably available
control technology (RACT) for Panther Creek Energy Facility located in
Carbon County, 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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comments will be withdrawn in the manner described here.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 October 29, 1997.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to David
