ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[PA183-4198b; FRL-7465-5]
 
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; NOX RACT Determinations for Five Individual 
Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to establish and 
require reasonably available control technology (RACT) for five major 
sources of nitrogen oxides (NOX) located in Pennsylvania. 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 detailed rationale for the 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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 
on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by May 1, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Walter K. Wilkie, 
Deputy Branch Chief, Air Quality Planning & Information Services 
Branch, Air Protection Division, Mailcode 3AP21, U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, 
Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the documents relevant to this action are 
available for public inspection during normal business hours at the Air 
Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 
1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103; and the 
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources, Bureau of Air 
Quality Control, P.O. Box 8468, 400 Market Street, Harrisburg, 
Pennsylvania 17105.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the 
information provided in the direct final action, Pennsylvania's 
Approval of NOX RACT Determinations for Five Individual 
Sources, 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.

    Dated: March 5, 2003.
Thomas C. Voltaggio,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region III.
