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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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comments will be withdrawn in the manner described here.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 
Campbell, Air, Radiation, and Toxics Division, Mailcode 3AT22, U.S.
