Cabinet Secretary
West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection

Charleston, West Virginia 25304

Dear Secretary Huffman:

      On July 1, 2013, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) received a revision to the West Virginia State Implementation Plan (SIP).  The SIP revision was submitted to address required infrastructure elements of Section 110(a)(2) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) which are necessary to implement, maintain, and enforce the 2010 1-hour sulfur dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) in West Virginia.  EPA has determined that the submittal is complete for these elements, and is reviewing it to prepare a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPR) action.

      If members of your staff have any questions, they may direct them to Ms. Ellen Schmitt, Office of Air Program Planning, at (215) 814-5787.     

	Sincerely, 

							/s/

                                         Diana Esher, Director
                                                                       Air Protection Division
