40 CFR Part 52

[VA099-5048b; FRL-6837-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Virginia; Approval of Revision to Opacity Limit for Drier Stacks at 
Georgia-Pacific Corporation Softboard Plant in Jarratt, VA

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia for the purpose of 
establishing a higher opacity limit for drier zone stacks #1 and #2 
located at the Georgia-Pacific Softboard plant in Jarratt, Virginia. In 
the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the 
Commonwealth'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 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 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by August 18, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Ms. Makeba A. 
Morris, Chief, Technical Assessment Branch, Mailcode 3AP22, 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; 
and; Virginia Department of Environmental Quality, 629 East Main 
Street, Richmond, Virginia, 23219.
