ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[Region 2 Docket No. NY53-230b; FRL-7057-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; New York Ozone 
State Implementation Plan Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the State of New York related to 
development of reasonably available control technologies for source 
categories of volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen for 
which EPA has not issued a control techniques guideline. Specifically, 
EPA is proposing approval of amendments to New York's Code of Rules and 
Regulations Part 212, ``General Process Emission Sources.'' 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. 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. The 
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: Written comments must be received on or before October 25, 2001.

ADDRESSES: All comments should be addressed to: Raymond Werner, Chief, 
Air Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region 2 Office, 
290 Broadway, New York, New York 10007-1866.
    Copies of the State submittal are available at the following 
addresses for inspection during normal business hours:
