40 CFR Part 52

[SIPTRAX No. PA63-1-7032b FRL-5211-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania: Proposed Determination of Attainment of 
Ozone Standard by the Pittsburgh-Beaver Valley and Reading Ozone 
Nonattainment Areas and Determination Regarding Applicability of 
Certain Reasonable Further Progress and Attainment Demonstration 
Requirements

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to determine that the Pittsburgh-Beaver 
Valley and Reading ozone nonattainment areas have attained the National 
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for ozone and that certain 
reasonable further progress and attainment demonstration requirements, 
along with certain related requirements, of Part D of Title I of the 
Clean Air Act are not applicable for so long as these areas continue to 
attain the ozone standard. In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is making these determinations without prior proposal. A 
detailed rationale for the action is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to that direct 
final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 
proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the 
direct final rule and address the comments in a subsequent final rule 
based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this notice. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
notice should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by June 26, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to

this action are available for public inspection during normal business
