DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUBJECT CATEGORY:

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Pennsylvania; VOC and NOX RACT Determinations for Seven Individual Sources in the Philadelphia-Wilmington-Trenton Area

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 11, 2001.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY:

EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purpose of establishing and requiring reasonably available control technology (RACT) for seven major sources of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and/ or nitrogen oxides ( NOX). These sources are located in the PhiladelphiaWilmingtonTrenton ozone nonattainment area. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the Commonwealth's SIP revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. The rationale for the
[[Page 47130]]
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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 must do so at this time. Please note that if adverse comment is received for a specific source or subset of sources covered by an amendment, section or paragraph of this rule, only that amendment, section, or paragraph for that source or subset of sources will be withdrawn.

SUMMARY:

Pennsylvania,
