[VA12-1-6863b, VA28-1-5997b; FRL-5262-9]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

Virginia (Proposed Approval of Miscellaneous Revisions)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revisions submitted by the Commonwealth of Virginia. These revisions

incorporate changes adopted by Virginia in 1989 and 1993 into the

federally enforceable Virginia SIP. The intended effect of this action

is to revise the federally-approved SIP to reflect the current State

requirements. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean

Air Act.

In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving the State's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior

proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial SIP

revision 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 proposed rule, no further

activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this

action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by September 22, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to

Marcia L. Spink, Associate Director, Air Programs, Mailcode 3AT00, U.S.
