Dear
Mr.
Burnley:

On
September
26,
2005,
the
U.
S.
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA)
received
revisions
to
the
Virginia
State
Implementation
Plan
(
SIP)
from
the
Virginia
Department
of
Environmental
Quality
(
VADEQ).
These
revisions
consist
of
amendments
to
existing
regulations
(
9
VAC
5
Chapter
30)
covering
the
ambient
air
quality
standards
for
the
8­
hour
ozone
and
PM
2.5
,
as
well
as
general
revisions
to
make
the
state
regulation
consistent
with
40
CFR
Part
50.
EPA
has
determined
that
the
submittals
are
administratively
and
technically
complete,
and
is
reviewing
them
to
prepare
a
Notice
of
Proposed
Rulemaking
(
NPR).

If
members
of
your
staff
have
any
questions,
they
may
direct
them
to
Rose
Quinto,
at
(
215)
814­
2182.
She
is
the
principal
contact
for
this
rulemaking.

Sincerely,

/
