Abstract
EPA is approving a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision submitted by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This revision establishes reasonably available control technology (RACT) emission limits for certain industrial categories. The intended effect of this action is to fully approve the majority of the Commonwealth's SIP revision submitted on November 13, 1992 and February 17, 1993. The EPA is granting approval to the generic RACT rule in Title 310 Code of Massachusetts Regulations (CMR) section 7.18(17) only in the Springfield, Massachusetts ozone nonattainment area (Berkshire, Franklin, Hampden and Hampshire counties). EPA will address 310 CMR 7.18(17) as it applies to the Boston, Massachusetts ozone nonattainment area in a future action. This action is being taken under section 110 of the Clean Air Act (Act). 42 U.S.C. 7410.
