ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[PA 114-4085; FRL-6325-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Approval of Revision to the 1990 Baseyear Emission 
Inventory for One Source

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to approve a revision to the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted 
by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP) on 
April 8, 1998. This revision consists of including the carbon monoxide 
(CO), volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides 
(NOX) emissions from Rockwell Heavy Vehicles, Inc., New 
Castle Forge Plant, in Lawrence County (Rockwell) in the point source 
portion of Pennsylvania's 1990 baseyear emission inventory. The 
intended effect of this action is to grant approval of the revision to 
the 1990 baseyear inventory and in so doing to render Rockwell's 
emissions eligible for consideration as emission reduction credits 
(ERCs) in accordance with the Pennsylvania SIP. EPA is approving the 
revision to the 1990 baseyear emissions inventory for Rockwell in 
accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act. In the ``Rules 
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving 
the State's SIP submittal 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. A more detailed description of 
the state submittal and EPA's evaluation are included in a Technical 
Support Document (TSD) prepared in support of this rulemaking action. A 
copy of the TSD is available, upon request, from the EPA Regional 
Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. If EPA 
receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further action on this 
proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the 
direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address all 
public comments 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 May 17, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to David Arnold, Chief, 
Ozone and Mobile Sources Branch, Mailcode 3AP21, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the documents relevant to this action are 
available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Air 
Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 
1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103; Air and Radiation 
Docket and Information Center, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,

of Environmental Protection, Bureau of Air Quality, P.O. Box 8468, 400 
Market Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17105.
