ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[SIPTRAX NO. PA108-4073b; FRL-6107-5]


Proposed Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation 
Plans; Pennsylvania; Source Specific Control Measures and a Revised 
Episode Plan for USX Clairton in the Liberty Borough PM-10 
Nonattainment Area

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the State of Pennsylvania for the purpose of 
establishing control measures at USX's Clairton Coke Works in Clairton, 
Pennsylvania and enhancing the Allegheny County Health Department's 
(ACHD) episode plan by requiring that USX develop and maintain a 
source-specific episode plan subject to ACHD approval. 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 for this 
rulemaking. If no adverse comments are received in response to this 
proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 
proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, it will publish a 
document informing the public that the direct final rule did not take 
effect and EPA will address all public comments received 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 July 13, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Makeba Morris, Chief, Technical 
Assessment Branch, Mailcode 3AP22, 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 
Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region III,
