Dear Ms. Epps:

On July 23, 2010, 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 pertains to amendments to the Allegheny County Health
Department (ACHD) Rules and Regulations, Article XXI, Air Pollution
Control which, incorporates the Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG)
issued by EPA for control of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from large
appliance and metal furniture; flat wood paneling; and paper, film, and
foil surface coating processes in Allegheny County.  The SIP revision
also includes revisions to existing regulations for surface coating
processes in Section 2105.10 and related definitions in Section 2101.20.
 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
Irene Shandruk, Office of Air Program Planning, at 215- 814-2166.  She
is the principal contact for this rulemaking. 

		Sincerely, 

							/s/
