ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[VA 082-5032b; FRL-5975-6]


Air Quality Implementation Plans; Approval and Promulgation; 
Various States; Virginia

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of Virginia for the purpose of 
terminating an alternative emission reduction plan for Reynolds Metals 
Company which was approved in 1983. 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. 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

[[Page 11865]]

will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 April 10, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
Makeba A. Morris, Chief, Technical Assessment Section, Mailcode 3AP22, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut 
Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107. Copies of the documents 
relevant to this action are available for public inspection during
