ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[Region II Docket No. NJ56-250b; FRL-7527-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Reasonably
Available Control Technology for Oxides of Nitrogen for Specific
Sources in the State of New Jersey
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the State
Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone submitted by the State of New
Jersey. These revisions consist of source-specific reasonably available
control technology (RACT) determinations for controlling oxides of
nitrogen (NOX) from seven facilities in New Jersey.
The EPA is also proposing to approve, for an eighth facility, New
Jersey's revised NOX RACT permit emission limit that EPA
previously approved and EPA is incorporating the revised stricter limit
into the State's SIP.
In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register,
EPA is approving the State's SIP submittals, as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because the Agency views them as
noncontroversial submittals 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, EPA
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 September 10,
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.regulations.gov,
