ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R03-OAR-2017-0437; FRL-9969-34-Region 3]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Pennsylvania; Adoption of Control Techniques Guidelines for Control of 
Volatile Organic Compound Emissions From Miscellaneous Metal Parts 
Surface Coating, Miscellaneous Plastic Parts Surface Coating, and 
Pleasure Craft Surface Coatings

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
the state implementation plan (SIP) revision submitted by the 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The revision includes amendments to the 
Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection's (PADEP) 
regulations and addresses the requirement to adopt reasonably available 
control technology (RACT) for sources covered by EPA's control 
techniques guidelines (CTG) standards for the following categories: 
Miscellaneous metal parts surface coating, miscellaneous plastic parts 
surface coating, and pleasure craft surface coatings, as well as 
related cleaning activities. The SIP revision also amends regulations 
for graphic arts systems and mobile equipment repair and refinishing 
and includes related general administrative amendments. In the Final 
Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving Pennsylvania's 
SIP submittal as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the 
Agency views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no 
adverse comments. If no adverse comments are received in response to 
this action, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule 
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do 
so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by November 15, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R03-
OAR-2017-0437 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to 
stahl.cynthia@epa.gov. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, 
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either 
manner of submission, the EPA may publish any comment received to its 
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you 
consider to be confidential business information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia 
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written 
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and 
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person 
identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the full 
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia 
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please 
visit http://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For further information, please see the 
information provided in the direct final action, with the same title, 
that is located in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this 
Federal Register publication. Please note that if EPA receives adverse 
comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that 
provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 
as final those provisions
