Dear Secretary Huffman:

On December 11, 2012, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
received a revision to the West Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP)
from the Department of Environmental Protection.  This SIP revision
requests redesignations of the Charleston 1997 and 2006 PM2.5
nonattainment area to attainment and approval of the Area’s
maintenance plans.  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
Rose Quinto, Office of Air Quality Planning, at (215) 814-2182.  She is
the principal contact for this rulemaking.    

	     Sincerely, 

 

	/s/

Diana Esher, Director
