Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania;

Approval of Source-Specific RACT

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the

purpose of establishing reasonably

available control technology (RACT) on

three major sources. In the Final Rules

section of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving the State’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

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will be withdrawn and all public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.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing by April 10, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to David L.

Arnold, Chief, Ozone/CO & Mobile

action are available for public

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Pennsylvania; 15 Percent Plan and

1990 VOC Emission Inventory for the

Philadelphia Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing conditional

interim approval of the State

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision

submitted by the Commonwealth of

Pennsylvania, for the Philadelphia

ozone nonattainment area, to meet the

15 percent reasonable further progress

(RFP, or 15% plan), also known as rateof-progress (ROP) requirements of the

Clean Air Act. EPA is withdrawing its

proposed disapproval of the

Philadelphia 15% plan and 1990

emission inventory published in the

Federal Register on July 10, 1996. EPA

is proposing conditional interim

approval because the 15% plan

submitted by Pennsylvania for the

Philadelphia area requires additional

documentation to quantify the 15%

emission reduction and relies on the

inspection and maintenance (I/M)

program that received a conditional

interim approval. Finally, the 1990 VOC

emissions inventory used in the 15%

plan as the baseline for reasonable

further progress contains

inconsistencies, which must be

reconciled by Pennsylvania. EPA is,

therefore, proposing conditional

approval of the 1990 VOC emission

inventory.

DATES: Comments on this proposed

action must be postmarked by April 10,

1997.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be

mailed to David L. Arnold, Chief,

Ozone/Carbon Monoxide, and Mobile

Sources Section, Mailcode 3AT21, U.S.
