ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WV055-6025b; FRL-7449-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
West Virginia; Permits for Construction, Modification, Relocation and 
Operation of Stationary Sources of Air Pollutants, Notification 
Requirements, Administrative Updates, Temporary Permits

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of West Virginia for the purpose of 
converting the partial approval and partial disapproval of West 
Virginia's minor new source review and existing stationary source 
operating permit program to the full approval. EPA also proposes to 
approve additional rule revisions, made to the minor new source review 
regulation. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by March 31, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Makeba A. Morris, 
Chief, Permits and Technical Assessment Branch, Mail Code 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 Division, U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103;
