Dear Mr. Sydnor:

On October 12, 2006, October 16, 2006, October 18, 2006, November 20,
2006, and February 13, 2007 the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) received revisions to the Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP)
from the Department of Environmental Quality pertaining to the
redesignation of the Hampton Roads ozone nonattainment area to
attainment, approval of the area’s maintenance plan, and approval of
the 2002 base-year emissions inventory. The EPA has determined that the
submittal is administratively and technically complete, and is reviewing
it to prepare a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking.  

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to Amy
Caprio, Air Quality Planning Branch, at (215) 814-2156.  She is the
principal contact for this rulemaking.    

Sincerely, 

		/s/
