40 CFR Part 52

[R05-OAR-2004-OH-0004; FRL-7923-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Ohio New 
Source Review Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is extending the comment period for a proposed rule 
published May 11, 2005 (70 FR 24734). On May 11, 2005, EPA proposed to 
conditionally approve revisions to the prevention of significant 
deterioration (PSD) and nonattainment new source review (NSR) 
construction permit programs submitted by the Ohio Environmental 
Protection Agency (OEPA) on September 14, 2004. On December 31, 2002, 
EPA published revisions to the Federal PSD and NSR regulations in 40 
CFR parts 51 and 52 (67 FR 80186). These ``NSR Reform'' regulatory 
revisions became effective on March 3, 2003, and include provisions for 
baseline emissions determinations, actual-to-future actual methodology, 
plantwide applicability limits (PALs), clean units, and pollution 
control projects (PCPs). EPA proposed to conditionally approve OEPA's 
revised rules to implement these NSR Reform provisions. In response to 
a May 19, 2005, request from the Natural Resources Defense Council, EPA 
is extending the comment period for 60 days.

DATES: The comment period is extended to August 9, 2005.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by Regional Material in EDocket 
(RME) ID No. R05-OAR-2004-OH-0004, to: Pamela Blakley, Chief, Air
