[EPA-R03-OAR-2006-0060; FRL-8452-5]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Virginia; State Implementation Plan Revision Variance for International 
Paper, Franklin Paper Mill, VA

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

[[Page 45201]]

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia for the purpose of 
establishing a variance for the International Paper, Franklin Paper 
Mill facility located in Franklin, Virginia. The variance provides 
regulatory relief from compliance with state regulations governing new 
source review for the implementation of the International Paper, 
Franklin Paper Mill innovation project. In lieu of compliance with 
these regulatory requirements, the variance requires the facility to 
comply with site-wide emission caps. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 September 12, 2007.

the use of special characters, any form of encryption, and be free of 
any defects or viruses.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the

Register publication. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment
