Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Pennsylvania; Allegheny County, 

Continuous Opacity Monitor 

Regulation 

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 the method to 

determine compliance with opacity 

requirements for coke oven combustion 

stacks in Allegheny County, allowing 

the use of continuous opacity 

monitoring systems (COMS) to measure 

visible emissions in Allegheny County, 

and removing a redundant phrase in the 

current approved SIP. In the Final Rules 

section of this Federal Register, EPA is 

approving the Commonwealth’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. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 August 12, 2009.

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses.

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the San Joaquin Valley 

Unified Air Pollution Control District

revisions concern oxides of nitrogen 

(NOX) emissions from Stationary Gas 

Turbines. We are approving a local rule 

that regulates these emission sources 

under the Clean Air Act as amended in 

1990 (CAA or the Act). We are taking 

comments on this proposal and plan to 

follow with a final action. 

DATES: Any comments must arrive by 

August 12, 2009.
