NOTICE OF PLAN APPROVAL AND OPERATING PERMIT APPLICATIONS
NEW SOURCES AND MODIFICATIONS The Department of Environmental Protection (Department) has developed an ''integrated'' plan approval, State Operating Permit and Title V Operating Permit program. This integrated approach is designed to make the permitting process more efficient for the Department, the regulated community and the public. This approach allows the owner or operator of a facility to complete and submit all the permitting documents relevant to its application one time, affords an opportunity for public input and provides for sequential issuance of the necessary permits.
The Department has received applications for plan approvals and/or operating permits from the following facilities.
Copies of these applications, subsequently prepared draft permits, review summaries and other support materials are available for review in the Regional Office identified in this notice. Persons interested in reviewing the application files should contact the appropriate Regional Office to schedule an appointment.
Persons wishing to receive a copy of the proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit must indicate their interest to the Department Regional Office within 30 days of the date of this notice and must file protests or comments on a Proposed Plan Approval or Operating Permit within 30 days of the Department providing a copy of the proposed document to that person or within 30 days of its publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin, whichever comes first. Interested persons may also request that a hearing be held concerning the proposed plan approval and operating permit. Any comments or protests filed with the Department Regional Offices must include a concise statement of the objections to the issuance of the plan approval or operating permit and relevant facts, which serve as the basis for the objections. If the Department schedules a hearing, a notice will be published in the Pennsylvania Bulletin at least 30 days prior the date of the hearing.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodation to participate should contact the Regional Office identified. TDD users may contact the Department through the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984.
Final plan approvals and operating permits will contain terms and conditions to ensure that the source is constructed and operating in compliance with applicable requirements in 25 Pa. Code Chapters 121--143, the Federal Clean Air Act and regulations adopted under the Act.

Proposed Revision to the State Implementation Plan for Oxides of Nitrogen and VOCs
Public Hearing and Notice of Intent to Issue a Revised Air Quality Title V Operating Permit 41-00005: Textron Lycoming (652 Oliver Street, Williamsport, PA 17701) for modification and clarification of various reasonable available control technology (RACT) determinations made by the Department on April 21, 1999, for their facility in the City of Williamsport, Lycoming County.
In accordance with 25 Pa. Code §§ 129.91--129.95, the Department has made a preliminary determination to approve an amendment of a previously-submitted RACT plan and an amendment to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for various air contamination sources at the Textron Lycoming facility.
The proposed SIP revision does not adopt any new regulations. It incorporates the provisions and requirements contained in the amendment of the RACT approval for the facility which are intended to comply with current regulations.
The preliminary RACT determination, if finally approved, will result in the revision of Title V Operating Permit 41-00005 and will be submitted to the EPA as a revision to the Commonwealth's SIP.
The following is a summary of the preliminary RACT determination/revisions which the Department proposes to incorporate into Title V Operating Permit 41-00005, as a revision to that permit:
1. Air contamination source: 23 spray booth degreasers (P206). RACT revision: revise VOC emission limit of 15.7 tons in any 12 consecutive month period to 24.69 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
2. Air contamination source: six small Cooper tanks (P203). RACT revision: revise VOC emission limit of 2.4 tons in any 12 consecutive month period which applies to the combination of these tanks and 5 large Cooper tanks (P202) to 36.54 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
3. Air contamination source: 55 dip degreasing tanks (P204). RACT revision: revise VOC emission limit of 15.45 tons in any 12 consecutive month period to 4.8 tons in any 12 consecutive month period. Also revise source identification to reflect the existence of 76 dip degreasing tanks rather than 55.
4. Air contamination source: 21 corrosion protection tanks (P205). RACT revision: revise VOC emission limit of 10.95 tons in any 12 consecutive month period to 2.76 tons in any 12 consecutive month period. Also revise source identification to reflect the existence of 26 corrosion protection tanks rather than 21.
5. Air contamination source: three check valve tables (P250). RACT determination: VOC containing materials shall not be used.
6. Air contamination source: fluorescent dye penetrant booth (P233). RACT determination: VOC emissions not to exceed 3 pounds per hour, 15 pounds per day or 2.7 tons in any 12 consecutive month period.
There will additionally be a number of clarifications to air contamination source identifications, none of which involve a revision of a RACT-established emission limitation or requirement.
A public hearing will be held for the purpose of receiving comments on the proposed operating permit revision and the proposed Title V Operating Permit revision, RACT revision and SIP revision. The hearing will be held on June 5, 2002, at 1 p.m. at the Department's Northcentral Regional Office, 208 West Third Street, Suite 101, Williamsport, PA. The public is invited to comment on the proposal. Persons interested in commenting are invited to appear at the public hearing.
Persons wishing to present testimony at the hearing should contact Daniel Spadoni at (570) 327-3659 at least 1 week in advance of the hearing to reserve a time to present testimony. Oral testimony will be limited to a maximum of 10 minutes per individual and two written copies of the oral testimony are requested. Each organization is requested to designate one witness to present testimony on its behalf.
Persons with a disability who wish to comment and require an auxiliary aid, service or other accommodations to do so should contact Daniel Spadoni at (570) 327-3659 or the Pennsylvania AT&T Relay Service at (800) 654-5984 (TDD) to discuss how the Department may accommodate their needs.
