AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of the

SUMMARY: In a document published on

April 18, 2000 (65 FR 20788), EPA

proposed to approve revisions to the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s State

Implementation Plan (SIP) establishing

reasonably available control technology

(RACT) requirements for twenty-six

major sources of volatile organic

compounds (VOCs) and nitrogen oxides

(NOX) located in Pennsylvania. EPA

specified that comments had to be

submitted by May 18, 2000. An

individual stated that he required

additional time to review the proposal

and requested an extension of the

comment period. In response, EPA is

extending the comment period until

July 19, 2000. Also, EPA stated in the

notice of proposed rulemaking that

details regarding the twenty-six state

submittals and EPA’s evaluations of

them could be found in Technical

Support Documents (TSDs). The TSDs

provide details regarding twenty-seven

submittals. EPA is clarifying that its

proposed approval applies to all

submittals discussed in the TSDs except

that for International Business Systems,

Inc. EPA will address Pennsylvania’s

submittal for International Business

Systems, Inc. at a later date.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before July 19, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to Kathleen Henry, Chief,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Administrative Requirements

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’

and, is therefore not subject to review by

the Office of Management and Budget.

In addition, this action does not impose

any enforceable duty or contain any

unfunded mandate as described in the

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995

(Pub. L. 104–4), or require prior

consultation with State officials as

specified by Executive Order 12875 (58

FR 58093, October 28, 1993), or involve

special consideration of environmental

justice related issues as required by

Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629,

February 16, 1994).

EPA does not believe that it is

necessary to subject this action

extending the comment period and

correcting the proposal to notice-andcomment requirements. Under the

Administrative Procedure Act or any

other statute, it is not subject to the

provisions of the Regulatory Flexibility

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
