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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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.

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

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.
