40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2017-0342; FRL-9969-82-Region 3]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Pennsylvania's Adoption of Control Techniques Guidelines 
for Automobile and Light-Duty Truck Assembly Coatings

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
the

[[Page 49167]]

state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth 
of Pennsylvania (the Commonwealth) for the purpose of adopting EPA's 
control technique guidelines (CTG) for automobile and light-duty truck 
assembly coatings. In the Final Rules section of this issue of the 
Federal Register, EPA is approving the Commonwealth'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 Commonwealth's submittal 
and EPA's evaluation is 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 or is also available electronically 
within the Docket for this rulemaking action. 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 November 24, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2017-0342 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to 
[email protected]. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, 
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either 
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its 
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you 
consider to be confidential business information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia 
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written 
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and 
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person 
identified in the ``For Further Information Contact'' section. For the 
full EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia 
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please 
visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

or by email at [email protected].

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 issue 
of the 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.

    Dated: September 26, 2017.
