Dear Mr. Sydnor:

On February 14, 2007, EPA received a revision to the Virginia State
Implementation Plan (SIP) from the Virginia Department of Environmental
Quality pertaining to recent amendments to the State regulations
incorporating the new source review (NSR) reform provisions.  These
provisions are for requiring preconstruction review and permits on major
stationary sources and major modifications locating in nonattainment
areas.   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
Sharon McCauley, Permits and Technical Assessment Branch, at (215)
814-3376.  She is the principal contact for this rulemaking.    

	Sincerely, 

						/s/

                                             Judith M. Katz, Director
