Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Virginia: Approval of VOC RACT Determinations for Individual Sources

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve six State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia for the purpose of 
establishing volatile organic compound (VOC) reasonably available 
control technology (RACT) for six major sources of VOCs located in 
Virginia. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the Commonwealth's SIP revision as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial SIP revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule and the accompanying technical support document. If no adverse 
comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further 
activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action should do so at this time. If adverse comments are received that 
do not pertain to all documents subject to this rulemaking action, 
those documents not affected by the adverse comments will be finalized 
in the manner described here. Only those documents that receive adverse 
comments will be withdrawn.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by October 29, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to David 
L. Arnold, Chief, Ozone/CO and Mobile Sources Section, Mailcode 3AT21, 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut 
Building, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19107. Copies of the documents 
relevant to this action are available for public inspection during 
normal business hours at the Air, Radiation, and Toxics Division, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region III, 841 Chestnut Building,
