40 CFR Part 52

[PA-4071b; FRL-6104-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Approval of VOC 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 
eight (8) 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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
