The Honorable E. Christopher Abruzzo, Secretary			September 23, 2014	
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection
Rachel Carson Building

Harrisburg, PA 17105

Dear Secretary Abruzzo:

      On April 30, 2014, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received a revision to the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP) from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP).  This SIP revision consists of a redesignation request and maintenance plan for the Lancaster, PA 1997 annual fine particulate matter (PM2.5) Nonattainment Area and the Lancaster, PA 2006 24-hour PM2.5 Nonattainment Area.  EPA has determined that the submittal is administratively and technically complete, and is reviewing it to prepare a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR).  

      If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to Leslie Jones Doherty, Office of Air Program Planning, at (215) 814-3409.  She is the principal contact for this rulemaking.    

	     Sincerely, 
 
                              /s/
                              Diana Esher, Director
                          			            Air Protection Division
