ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[IL63-1-5716b; FRL-5071-1]

 

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is 
proposing to approve Illinois' 1990 base year ozone precursor emissions 
inventory for certain ozone nonattainment areas as revisions to the 
Illinois ozone State Implementation Plan (SIP). The emissions 
inventories were submitted by the State of Illinois to satisfy a 
Federal requirement that States containing ozone nonattainment areas 
submit inventories of actual ozone precursor emissions. The Illinois 
ozone nonattainment areas covered by the ozone emissions inventories 
addressed in this rulemaking are: Chicago, Metro-East St. Louis, and 
Jersey County. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the 
USEPA is approving the State's SIP revision request without prior 
proposal because USEPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval 
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 USEPA receives 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and the 
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule 
based on this proposed rule. A second comment period on this action 
will not be held. Parties interested in commenting on this notice 
should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
October 13, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Regulation Development Branch 
(AR18-J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West 
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    Copies of the State submittal and USEPA's analysis of it are 
available forinspection at: Regulation Development Section, Regulation 
Development Branch (AR18-J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

Regulation Development Section, Regulation Development Branch (AR18-J),
