ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[PA183-4195b; FRL-7230-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; VOC and NOX RACT Determinations for Hershey Chocolate USA 
and Pennsylvania Power Company

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to establish and 
require reasonably available control technology (RACT) for Hershey 
Chocolate USA and Pennsylvania Power Company, New Castle Plant. Hershey 
Chocolate USA is located in Dauphin County, Pennsylvania and is a major 
source of nitrogen oxides (NOX). The Pennsylvania Power 
Company's New Castle Plant is located in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania 
and is a major source of NOX and volatile organic compounds 
(VOC). In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the Commonwealth's SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. The 
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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by July 26, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to David L. Arnold, 
Chief, Air Quality Planning and Information Services 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; and the Pennsylvania Department of 
Environmental Resources, Bureau of Air Quality Control, P.O. Box 8468, 
400 Market Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17105.

section of this document.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the 
information provided in the direct final action for Pennsylvania's VOC 
and NOX RACT determinations for Hershey Chocolate USA and 
Pennsylvania Power Company, New Castle Plant, that is located in the

or subset of sources covered by an amendment, paragraph, or section of

this rule, only that amendment, paragraph, or section of that source or 
subset of sources will be withdrawn.
