40 CFR Part 52

[PA159-4189b; FRL-7211-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Revisions to the Air Resource Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

[[Page 39927]]

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania of changes to 
the air resource regulations. The changes will make the Commonwealth's 
regulations consistent with Federal requirements, delete obsolete and 
unnecessary provisions, and apply the Commonwealth's monitoring 
requirements in a consistent fashion for all affected sources. In the 
Final Rules 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 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 EPA 
receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this 
rule and if 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: Comments must be received in writing by July 11, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to David L. Arnold, 
Chief, Air Quality Planning & Information Services Branch, Air 
Protection Division, Mailcode 3AP21, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.
