Dear Mr. Dowd:

On September 8, 2008, 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 SIP
revision consists of amendments to existing regulations to implement the
non-CTG RACT-specific 8-hour ozone nonattainment area requirements of
Subpart X of 40 CFR Part 51, and restructure and recodify the
regulations for clarity.  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 Mr.
Gregory Becoat at (215) 814-2036.  He is the principal contact for this
rulemaking.    

	Sincerely, 

	

                                                                        
  /s/ 

                                                                        
     

         Judith M. Katz, Director
