Dear Mr. Benedict:

On April 25, 2008, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received a revision (45CSR8) to the West Virginia State Implementation
Plan (SIP) from the West Virginia Department of Environmental
Protection.  The SIP revision establishes ambient air quality standards
equivalent to the national primary and secondary ambient air quality
standards established under section 109 of the Clean Air Act, and
promulgated by the EPA under Title 40, Part 50 of the Code of Federal
Regulations.  EPA has determined that the submittal is administratively
and technically complete, and it is being reviewed to prepare a Notice
of Final Rulemaking.  

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to
Gobeail McKinley, Air Quality Planning Branch at (215) 814-2033.  She is
the principal contact for this rulemaking.

Sincerely,

					          Judith M. Katz, Director /s/
