ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[Region II Docket No. NY60-257b; FRL-7519-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Reasonably
Available Control Technology for Oxides of Nitrogen for Specific
Sources in the State of New York
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone submitted by the State of New York.
This revision consists of source-specific reasonably available control
technology (RACT) determinations for controlling oxides of nitrogen
(NOX) emissions from eighteen units at three facilities
owned by Tenneco Gas Corporation in New York. This rule proposes to
approve the source-specific RACT determinations that were made by New
York in accordance with provisions of its regulation. In the ``Rules
and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving
the State's SIP submittal, as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views it as a noncontroversial submittal
and anticipates no adverse comments.
A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct
final rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take
further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments,
the Agency will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take
effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on
this action should do so at this time.
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before August 20, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted either by mail or electronically.
Written comments should be mailed to Raymond Werner, Chief, Air
Programs Branch, Environmental Protection Agency, Region II Office, 290
Broadway, New York, New York 10007-1866. Electronic comments could be
sent either to Werner. Raymond @ epa. gov or to http://www.
