SUMMARY: EPA is taking final action to
approve revisions to the Commonwealth

volatile organic compounds (VOC) and
nitrogen oxides (NOX) pursuant to the
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s
(Pennsylvania’s or the
Commonwealth’s) SIP-approved generic
RACT regulations. EPA is approving
these revisions in accordance with the
Clean Air Act (CAA).
DATES: This rule is effective on
December 2, 2005.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
On August 30, 2004, PADEP
submitted a formal SIP revision that
consists of source-specific operating
permits and/or plan approvals issued by
PADEP to establish and require RACT
pursuant to the Commonwealth’s SIPapproved generic RACT regulations. On
April 4, 2005 (70 FR 16955), EPA
published a direct final rule (DFR)
approving revisions to PADEP-issued
operating permits which establish and
require RACT for three individual
sources. The following table identifies
the sources and the individual plan
approvals (PAs) and operating permits
(OPs) which are the subject of this
rulemaking.

An explanation of the CAA’s RACT
requirements as they apply to the
Commonwealth and EPA’s rationale for
approving these SIP revisions were
provided in the DFR and will not be
restated here.
In accordance with direct final
rulemaking procedures, on April 4, 2005
(70 FR 16955), EPA also published a
companion notice of proposed
rulemaking on these SIP revisions
inviting interested parties to comment
on the DFR. Timely adverse comments
were submitted on EPA’s April 4, 2005
DFR.

II. Summary of Public Comments and
EPA Responses
Comment
On April 16, 2005, a citizen submitted
adverse comments on EPA’s DFR notice
approving PADEP’s VOC and NOX
RACT determinations for three
individual sources. The commenter
states that Pennsylvania’s air goes to
New Jersey so the dirty air harms people
in both states and RACT should be more
rigorous. The commenter also states that

prescribed burning in parks and wildlife
areas fills the air with particulate matter
which causes lung cancer, heart attacks,
strokes, and asthma.
Response
The rulemaking at issue is limited in
scope and addresses the CAA section
182(b)(1) RACT requirements for
sources located in the ozone
nonattainment area classified as
moderate or above. The commenter did
not comment specifically on the RACT
determinations for the three individual
sources and did not submit any
supporting technical data or information
to support that the standards for the
three individual sources do not
