SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On

December 20, 1982, the HDHS submitted

Title 11, Chapter 60, "Air Pollution

Control" to EPA as a SIP revision. This

revision represents a recodification of

the previously approved "Public Health

Regulations," Chapter 43, "Air Pollution

Control." The revised rules are as

follows:

Sec.

11-60-01 Definitions.

Sec.

11-60-02 Permit system, applicability.

11-60-03 Permit system, applications.

11-60-04 Permit system, conditions for

considering applications.

11-60-05 Pormit system, action on

application.

11-60-06 Permit system, performance

testing.

11-60-07 Permit system, cancellation of

authority to construct.

11-60-08 Permit system, suspension or revocation of permit to operate.

11-60-09 Peemit system, transfer of permit

to operate.

11-60-10 Permit system, reporting

discontinuance or dismantlement.

11-60-11 Permit system, posting of permit to

operate.

11-60-12 Permit system, fees.

11-60-13 Permit system, fee schedule for a permit to operate.

11-60-14 Permit system, period of permit.

11-60-15 Sampling, testing, and reporting

methods.

11-60-16 Malfunction of equipment

11-60-27 Incineration.

11-60-28 Bagasse-burning boilers.

11-60-29 Process industries.

11-60-35 Prevention of air pollution

emergency episodes.

11-60-36 Variances.

11-60-37 Penalties and remedies.

These rule revisions are

administrative and do not significantly

impact current emission control

requirements. The above mentioned

rules only reflect a renumbering change,

with the exception of the revisions

discussed below.

In rule 11-60-01 (Definitions) a

number of definitions have been revised

to provide clarification and improve the

enforceability of the SIP. Rule 11-60-18

(Contol of open burning) continues to

exempt fires for training personnel from

the open burning requirements; but

these fires are no longer subject to the

visible emission limitations. Revisions in

rule 11-60-24 (Visible emissions) allow

an increase for visible emissions of 60

percent opacity from three to six

minutes in any sixty minutes of specific

stations, delete reference to the

Ringelmann Chart, and provide

procedures for evaluating opacity

readings. Rule 11-60-25 (Control of

motor vehicles) is revised to allow an

engine to be in operation for up to three

minutes while loading or unloading

passengers and for the buildup of

pressure in the start-up of engines.

Section 2(b) and Section 6 of Chapter 43

are deleted from Rule 11-60 since

"Registration for Existing Source" and

"Compliance Schedule" is no longer

applicable since effective dates are

specified for individual sections.

Under Section 110 of the Clean Air

Act as amended, and 40 CFR Part 51,

EPA is required to approve or

disapprove these regulations as SIP

revisions. All rules submitted have been

evaluated and found to be in accordance

with EPA policy and 40 CFR Part 51.

EPA's detailed evaluation of the

submitted rules is available at the EPA

Library in Washington, D.C., and the

Region 9 office.

It is the purpose of this notice to

approve all the rule revisions listed

above and to incorporate them into the

Hawaii SIP. This is being done without

prior proposal because the revisions are

noncontroversial, have limited impact,

and no comments are anticipated. The

public should be advised that this action

will be effective 60 days from the date of

this Federal Register notice. However, if

notice is received within 30 days that

someone wishes to submit adverse or

critical comments, the approval will be

withdrawn and a subsequent notice will

be published before the effective date.

The' subsequent notice will indefinitely

postpone the effective date, modify the

final action to a proposed action, and

establish a comment period.

In addition, this notice corrects

clerical errors in 40 CFR 52.620

Identification of plan, paragraph (c)(14).

These corrections impose no new

requirements.

Under 5 U.S.C. Section 605(b), I certify

that SIP approvals do not have a

significant economic impact on a

substantial number of small entities.

(See 46 FR 8709.) The Office of

Management and Budget has exempted

this rule from the requirements of

Section 3 of Executive Order 12291.

Under the Clean Air Act, any petitions

for judicial review of this action must be

filed in the United States Court of

Appeals for the appropriate circuit by

October 17, 1983. This action may not be

challenged later in proceedings to

enforce its requirements.

State Implementation Plan for the State of

Commonwealth of Virginia; Revision of

the Virginia State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Final Rulemaking.

SUMMARY: This notice approves an

alternative compliance schedule for the

James River Paper Company's Filter

Manufacturing Plant in Richmond,

Virginia. Volatile organic compound

(VOC) emissions from this plant will be

eliminated through conversion to a

water-based system. However, the

company needs additional time to come

into compliance with the regulations

because of the difficulties involved in

the conversion.

DATE: This action will be effective on

October 17, 1983. Unless adverse or

critical comments are received by EPA

on or before September 19, 1983.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the SIP revision

and the accompanying support

documents are available for inspection

during normal business hours at the

following locations:

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The

changes to the Virginia State

Implementation Plan (SIP) were

submitted on January 25, 1983 by the

State Air Pollution Control Board

(SAPCB). A hearing on this proposed

SIP revision was held on March 15, 1983.

The James River Paper Company's

plant in Richmond, Virginia

manufactures paper specialty materials

for oil and air filters. In the process, a

solvent-borne resin is applied to the

filter paper. This solvent then

evaporates, resulting in the emissions to

the atmosphere of volatile organic

compounds (VOC). Through conversion

to water-borne resins, the company

plans to totally eliminate VOC

emissions.

The alternative compliance schedule

for the James River Paper Company is

being implemented through a Consent

Agreement and Order between the

company and the SAPCB. This order

establishes an emission rate of zero (0)

tons per year after January 1, 1987. In

addition, interim reductions are required

as follows:

(Tons/yeaf) (Tons VOC/ tons paper produced) Year Emissions emission

rate

1982 ............................... 1916 ............................... 0.410

1983 ...................... . 1916 ............................... 0.410

1984 .......... ........... 1590 ........................ 0.340

1985 ............................... 843 ........................... 0.160

1988 .............................. 422 .................................. 0.090

Quarterly progress reports are

required which will indicate the

progress that the company is making in

achieving these reductions.

The Alternative Compliance Schedule

requires the following increments of

progress.

1. Research and development of low

solvent content coatings shall be

completed by Janaury 1, 1982

(completed).

2. Evaluation of low solvent content

coating, product quality, and

commercial acceptance shall begin by

April 1, 1982 (completed).

3. Purchase orders shall be issued for

low solvent content coatings and

process modifications by June 1, 1983

(completed).

4. Initiation of process modifications

shall begin by December 1, 1983.

5. Process modifications shall be

completed and use of low solvent

content coatings shall begin by June 30,

1986.

6. Final compliance shall be achieved

by January 1, 1987.

EPA believes this SIP revision will

result in substantial environmental

benefit. EPA has reviewed the revision

and has determined that it meets the

requirements of Section 110(a)(2) of the

Clean Air Act and of 40 CFR Part 52.

Accordingly, EPA is approving this

revision. EPA is revising 40 CFR 52.2420

as indicated below to incorporate this

revision into the Virginia SIP. The public

is advised that this action will be

effective 60 days from the publication

date of this notice. However, if EPA

receives adverse or critical comments

within 30 days, EPA will withdraw this

action and will publish subsequent

notices before the effective date. One

notice will withdraw the final action

and another will begin a new

rulemaking by announcing a proposal of

the action and establishing a comment

period.

The Office of Management and Budget

has exempted this rule from the

requirements of Section 3 of the

Executive Order 12291. Under Section

307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions

for judicial review of this action must be

filed in the United States Court of

Appeals for the appropriate circuit by

October 17, 1983. This action may

not be challenged later in proceedings to
