Dear Mr. Paylor:

On September 29, 2010, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received a revision to the Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP) from
the Virginia Department of Environmental Quality which moves
Virginia’s regulation for open burning from 9VAC5, Chapter 40, Part
II, Article 40 (repealed) to 9VAC5, Chapter 130 (added).  EPA has
determined that the submittal is administratively and technically
complete, and is reviewing it to prepare a Direct Final Rulemaking
Notice action. 

If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to Mr.
Harold A. Frankford at (215) 814-2108.  He is the principal contact for
this rulemaking.    

	Sincerely, 

						/s/	

          Diana Esher, Director
