Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania; Interim Final Determination That

Pennsylvania Continues To Correct the Deficiencies of its Enhanced I/M

SIP Revision; Extension of Comment Period

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Interim Final Rule; extension of the comment period.

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

SUMMARY: In this document, EPA is reopening the comment period for a

document published on September 16, 1998 (63 FR 49434). In the

September 16 document, EPA made an interim final determination that the

Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has corrected the deficiency under the

Clean Air Act for failure to have an approved enhanced I/M SIP. EPA's

September 16 interim final rule deferred the application of Clean Air

Act sanctions which would otherwise have been implemented on August 29,

1998. Although that action was effective upon its publication, EPA took

comments from the public until October 16, 1998. At the request of a

commenter, EPA is re-opening the comment period through November 16,

1998. All comments received on or before November 16, 1998 will be

entered into the public record and considered by EPA before taking

final action on the interim final rule.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before November 16, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Marcia L. Spink, Associate

Director, Air Programs, Mailcode 3AP20, U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency, Region III, 1650 Arch Street, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19103.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Brian Rehn at (215) 814-2176, or Jill

Webster at (215) 814-2033; at the EPA address listed above. Information

may also be requested by e-mail at [email protected]. However,

comments must be submitted in writing to the EPA address listed above.

Dated: October 22, 1998.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region III.
