ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[Region II Docket No. NJ56-250b; FRL-7527-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Reasonably 
Available Control Technology for Oxides of Nitrogen for Specific 
Sources in the State of New Jersey

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone submitted by the State of New 
Jersey. These revisions consist of source-specific reasonably available 
control technology (RACT) determinations for controlling oxides of 
nitrogen (NOX) from seven facilities in New Jersey.
    The EPA is also proposing to approve, for an eighth facility, New 
Jersey's revised NOX RACT permit emission limit that EPA 
previously approved and EPA is incorporating the revised stricter limit 
into the State's SIP.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the State's SIP submittals, as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views them as 
noncontroversial submittals 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 September 10, 
2003.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted either by mail or electronically. 
Written comments should be mailed to Raymond Werner, Chief, Air 
Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region II Office, 290
