ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[VA 011-5034b; FRL-6156-1]


Approval and Promulgation of State Air Quality Plans for 
Designated Facilities and Pollutants, Commonwealth of Virginia; Control 
of Total Reduced Sulfur Emissions from Existing Kraft Pulp Mills

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the Commonwealth of Virginia's 111(d) 
for the control of total reduced sulfur (TRS) emissions from existing 
Kraft pulp mills. In the final rules section of the Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the Commonwealth's plan as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
action and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for 
the approval is set forth in the direct final rule and in the 
accompanying technical support document. If no adverse comments are 
received in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated 
in relation to this plan. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 plan. EPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 8, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Makeba A. Morris, Chief, Technical 
Assessment Branch, Mailcode 3AP22, Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Artra B. Cooper at (215) 814-2096, or 
by e-mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule with the same title which is located in the rules section of 
the Federal Register.

    Dated: August 27, 1998.

Acting Director, Regional Administrator EPA Region III.
