ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[VA084/101-5045b; FRL-6563-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Virginia; Proposed Revised Format for Materials Being Incorporated by 
Reference; Proposed Approval of Recodification of the Virginia 
Administrative Code

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality. 
These submittals include miscellaneous revisions and recodification of 
Virginia's air pollution control regulations. This proposed 
recodification reorganizes and renumbers the Virginia SIP to match the 
numbering system set forth in the Virginia Administrative Code. EPA 
also proposes to revise the format of regulations for materials 
submitted by Virginia that are incorporated by reference (IBR) into 
their respective State implementation plans (SIPs). The regulations 
affected by this format change have all been previously submitted by 
the respective State agency and approved by EPA.
    In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for 
the approval is set forth in the direct final rule and a Technical 
Support Document (TSD) prepared in support of this rulemaking action. A 
copy of the TSD is available, upon request, from the EPA Regional 
Office listed in the ADDRESSES section of this document. If no adverse 
comments are received in response to this action, no further activity 
is contemplated. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by May 22, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Marcia L. Spink, 
Mailcode 3AP20, U.S. Environmental
