###### Environmental Protection Agency

          - 40 CFR Part 52 
          - [VA084/101-5045b; FRL-6563-1] 

# 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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.
