purpose of establishing volatile organic compound (VOC) and nitrogen 
oxides (NOX) reasonably available control technology (RACT) 
for 16 major sources located in Pennsylvania. In the Final Rules 
section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the Commonwealth's 
SIP submittal on as a direct final rule without prior proposal because 
the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal 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 
action, no further activity is contemplated. 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. 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 
paragraphs subject to this rulemaking action, those paragraphs not 
affected by the adverse comments will be finalized in the manner 
described here. Only those paragraphs that receive adverse comments 
will be withdrawn in the manner described here.

DATES: Written comments must be received by December 7, 1998.
