10498 Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 45 / Friday, March 7, 1997 / Proposed Rules

Plan (SIP) revision submitted by

Pennsylvania on March 22, 1996

consisting of the 15% Rate-of-Progress

Plan and the 1990 Volatile Organic

Compound 1990 Emission Inventory

(the 15% Plan SIP) for the PittsburghBeaver Valley ozone nonattainment

area.

DATES: March 7, 1997.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Background

On January 22, 1997 (62 FR 3254–

3260), EPA published a notice of

proposed rulemaking proposing

conditional approval of the 15% Plan

SIP revision submitted by the

Pennsylvania Department of

Environmental Protection (PADEP) on

March 22, 1996 consisting of the 15%

Plan and 1990 Volatile Organic

Compound (VOC) Emission Inventory

for the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley ozone

nonattainment area (the Pittsburgh

area).

Need for Correction/Clarification

As published, the January 22, 1997

proposal notice states that EPA is

proposing conditional approval of the

15% Plan SIP revision for the Pittsburgh

area. In fact, the notice should read that

EPA is proposing conditional interim

approval of this SIP revision. The error

is typographical in nature; the notice

clearly indicates and fully explains that

this 15% Plan SIP relies upon

reductions from the enhanced

Inspection & Maintenance (I/M) SIP

submitted by Pennsylvania. Therefore,

as indicated in the January 22, 1997

proposal notice, approval of the 15%

Plan SIP for the Pittsburgh area approval

is dependent upon approval of

Pennsylvania’s enhanced I/M SIP. On

October 3, 1996 (61 FR 51638), EPA

proposed conditional interim approval

of Pennsylvania’s enhanced I/M SIP. On

January 28, 1997 (62 FR 4019), EPA

promulgated final conditional interim

approval of Pennsylvania’s enhanced I/

M SIP. Given that full final approval of

the 15% Plan SIP is dependent and

conditioned upon full final approval of

enhanced I/M SIP, EPA must keep its

actions on both SIP revisions consistent.

Correction/Clarification of Publication

Accordingly, the notice of proposed

rulemaking published on January 22,

1997 (62 FR 3254–3260, FR Doc. 97–

1493), is being corrected throughout its

text to read that EPA is proposing

conditional interim approval of the 15%

Plan SIP for the Pittsburgh area.

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 corrective

action pertaining to the 15% Plan SIP

for the Pittsburgh area 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.).

Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plans: Oregon

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve

the State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revisions submitted by the State of

Oregon for the purpose of approving

two source-specific Reasonably

Available Control Technology (RACT)

volatile organic compound (VOC)

emissions standards: Cascade General,

Inc., a ship repair yard in Portland,

Oregon; and, White Consolidated, Inc.

(doing business as Schrock Cabinet Co.)

a wood cabinet manufacturing facility in

Hillsboro, Oregon. These SIP revisions

are required by the Clean Air Act (CAA)

and were submitted by the State. In the

Final Rules Section of this Federal

Register, the EPA is approving the

State’s SIP revisions as a direct final

rule without prior proposal because the

Agency views this as a noncontroversial

revision amendment 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 proposed

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this rule. If the 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. The EPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this action.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received in writing by April 7,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to Montel Livingston,

Environmental Protection Specialist

(OAQ–107), Office of Air Quality, at the

EPA Regional Office listed below.

Copies of the documents relevant to this

proposed rule are available for public

inspection during normal business

hours at the following locations. The

interested persons wanting to examine

these documents should make an

appointment with the appropriate office

at least 24 hours before the visiting day.
