40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2006-0915; FRL-8276-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
West Virginia; Amendments to the Minor New Source Review Program

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 
this rule is to set forth the procedures for stationary source 
reporting and the criteria for obtaining a permit to construct and 
operate a new stationary source which is not a major stationary source. 
The rule establishes the requirements for obtaining an administrative 
update to an existing permit, temporary permit or a general permit, and 
for filling notifications and maintaining records of changes not 
otherwise subject to the permit requirements of this rule. The rule 
establishes public participation requirements as well as procedures for 
the transfer, suspension and revocation of permits. EPA is approving 
these revisions to West Virginia's SIP in accordance with the 
requirements of the Clean Air Act. 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 
more detailed description of the state submittal and EPA's evaluation 
are included in a Technical Support Document (TSD) prepared in support 
of this rulemaking action. A copy of the TSD is available, upon 
request, from the EPA Regional Office listed in the ADDRESSES section 
of this document. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 12, 2007.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R03-OAR-

restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you consider to 
be CBI or otherwise protected through www.regulations.gov or e-mail. 
The www.regulations.gov Web site is an ``anonymous access'' system, 
which means EPA will not know your identity or contact information

your e-mail address will be automatically captured and included as part 
of the comment that is placed in the public docket and made available 
on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends 
that you include your name and other contact information in the body of 
your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read 
your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot contact you for 
clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic 
files should avoid the use of special characters, any form of 
encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such 
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be 
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket 
materials are available either electronically in www.regulations.gov or 
in hard copy during normal business hours at the Air Protection 
Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch 
Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the State submittal 
are available at the West Virginia Department of Environmental 
Protection, Division of Air Quality, 601 57th Street SE., Charleston, 
WV 25304.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the 
information provided in the direct final action, with the same title, 
that is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register publication. 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.
