Abstract
EPA is granting conditional approval of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the State of West Virginia. This revision establishes and requires NO<INF>X</INF> emission reductions from large, stationary internal combustion engines in the State to meet Phase II of the NO<INF>X</INF> SIP Call. Because the revision was adopted by West Virginia under its emergency rules provisions and has a sunset date, this approval is conditioned on West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) adopting a permanent rule with an effective date prior to the sunset date of the emergency rule, and submitting the permanent rule as a SIP revision to EPA by July 1, 2006. WVDEP is in the process of adopting its permanent version of the rule and has submitted a written commitment to EPA stating it will meet all of these conditions. The intended effect of this action is to grant conditional approval of West Virginia's rule to meet its remaining emission reduction obligations under the NO<INF>X</INF> SIP Call.
