ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[PA 4096b; FRL-6578-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Approval of VOC and NOX RACT Determinations 
for Individual Source

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Commonwealth of 
Pennsylvania's State Implementation Plan (SIP). The revisions establish 
and require reasonably available control technology (RACT) for 56 major 
sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxides ( 
NOX) located in Pennsylvania. In the Final Rules section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is approving the revisions as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views these as 
noncontroversial submittals and anticipates no adverse comments. A more 
detailed description of the state submittals and EPA's evaluations are 
included in Technical Support Documents (TSDs) prepared in support of 
this rulemaking action. Copies of the TSDs are 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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. Please note that if adverse comment is received on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Written comments must be received by January 16, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to 
Makeba Morris, Chief, Permits and Technical Assessment Branch, Air 
Protection Division, Mailcode 3AP11, 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
