ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[WV055-6025b; FRL-7449-5]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
West Virginia; Permits for Construction, Modification, Relocation and
Operation of Stationary Sources of Air Pollutants, Notification
Requirements, Administrative Updates, Temporary Permits
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the State of West Virginia for the purpose of
converting the partial approval and partial disapproval of West
Virginia's minor new source review and existing stationary source
operating permit program to the full approval. EPA also proposes to
approve additional rule revisions, made to the minor new source review
regulation. In the Final Rules 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 this as a noncontroversial
submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for
the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 March 31, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Makeba A. Morris,
Chief, Permits and Technical Assessment Branch, Mail Code 3AP11, U.S.

this action are available for public inspection during normal business
