ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[VA 5029b; FRL-5904-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Virginia: VOC RACT for Phillip Morris, Hercules, Virginia Power Station 
and the Hopewell Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve six State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia for the purpose of 
establishing volatile organic compound (VOC) reasonably available 
control technology (RACT) for six major sources located in Virginia. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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those documents that receive adverse comments will be withdrawn.
