ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2010-0857; FRL-9243-7]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Allegheny County's Adoption of Control Techniques 
Guidelines for Large Appliance and Metal Furniture; Flat Wood Paneling; 
Paper, Film, and Foil Surface Coating Processes; and Revisions to 
Definitions and an Existing Regulation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

[[Page 81556]]

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. This SIP 
revision includes amendments to the Allegheny County Health Department 
(ACHD) Rules and Regulations, Article XXI, Air Pollution Control, and 
meets the requirement to adopt Reasonably Available Control Technology 
(RACT) for sources covered by EPA's Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) 
standards for the following categories: Large appliance and metal 
furniture; flat wood paneling; and paper, film, and foil surface 
coating processes. 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 more 
detailed description of the State submittal and EPA's evaluation are 
included in 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 January 27, 2011.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Docket ID No. EPA-R03-OAR-

provided, unless the comment includes information claimed to be 
Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other information whose 
disclosure is restricted by statute. Do not submit information that you 
consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through http://www.regulations.gov or e-mail. The http://www.regulations.gov Web site 
is an ``anonymous access'' system, which means EPA will not know your 
identity or contact information unless you provide it in the body of 
your comment. If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without 
going through http://www.regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be 
automatically captured and included as part of the comment that is 
placed in the public docket and made available on the Internet. If you 
submit an electronic comment, EPA recommends that you include your name 
and other contact information in the body of your comment and with any 
disk or CD-ROM you submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to 
technical difficulties and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA 
may not be able to consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid 
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 
http://www.regulations.gov index. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other information 
whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Certain other material, such 
as copyrighted material, is not placed on the Internet and will be 
publicly available only in hard copy form. Publicly available docket 
materials are available either electronically in http://www.regulations.gov or in hard copy during normal business hours at the 
Air Protection Division, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103. Copies of the 
State submittal are available at the Pennsylvania Department of 
Environmental Protection, Bureau of Air Quality Control, P.O. Box 8468, 
400 Market Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania 17105 or the Allegheny 
County Health Department, Bureau of Environmental Quality, Division of 
Air Quality, 301 39th Street, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15201.
