Re: Close of Comment Period for Ohio Infrastructure SIP for the 2010 Nitrogen

Dioxide Standard

Dear Director Czerniak:

Ohio EPA submitted the above referenced state implementation plan (SIP) on February 8, 2013. In that submittal, Ohio EPA indicated we would be holding a public hearing for this package on February 19, 2013 in Columbus, Ohio and that

we would provide you with any additional information at the close of this hearing.
As noted in the February 8, 2013 submittal, typically packages of this nature
receive no testimony or public comments, and if that is the case for this submittal,
Ohio EPA would forward a copy of the hearing transcript for addition to
Attachment 5 of our original submittal.

The public hearing was held on February 19, 2013 and there were no attendees,

nor did Ohio EPA receive any comments on this action. Therefore, there are no changes to the February 8, 2013 submittal and attached to this letter is a copy of

the hearing transcript indicating no testimony was provided.

I ask that U.S. EPA complete the review of this package and take final action on the Infrastructure SIP approval request for the State of Ohio. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Jennifer Dines of the Division of Air

Pollution Control (614-644-3696).

Sincerely,
