Dear Ms. Epps:

On January 31, 2007, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received a revision to the Pennsylvania State Implementation Plan (SIP)
from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection (PADEP). 
This revision requested the redesignation of the Greene County 8-Hour
ozone nonattainment area to attainment, and approval of the area’s
maintenance plan and 2002 base-year inventory.  The EPA has determined
that the submittal is administratively and technically complete, and is
reviewing it to prepare a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR).

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to
Christopher Cripps, Air Quality Planning Branch, at (215) 814-2179.  He
is the principal contact for this rulemaking. 

		Sincerely, 

							/s/

   		Judith M. Katz, Director
