Dear Acting Secretary Aunkst:

On September 9, 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.  The SIP
revision requests redesignation from nonattainment to attainment, and
approval of the maintenance plan of the Allentown 2006 24-hour PM2.5
area.  EPA has determined that the submittal is administratively and
technically complete, and is reviewing it to prepare Notice of Proposed
Rulemaking.  

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to
Rose Quinto, Office of Air Program Planning, at (215) 814-2182.  She is
the principal contact for this rulemaking.    

	     Sincerely, 

 

							/s/

David L. Arnold, Acting Director
