Dear Mr. Sydnor:

On October 27, 2006, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received a revision to the Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) from
the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality (VADEQ).  This revision
consists of a demonstration that the Northern Virginia 8-hour moderate
ozone nonattainment area meets the requirements of reasonably available
control technology (RACT) set forth by the Clean Air Act.  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
Gregory Becoat, at 215-814-2036.  He is the principal contact for this
rulemaking.    

				Sincerely, 

	  				

								s/s
