[Federal Register Volume 61, Number 30 (Tuesday, February 13, 1996)] [Proposed Rules] [Page 5527] From the Federal Register Online via the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] [FR Doc No: 96-3083] ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY 40 CFR Part 52 [WI54-01-7000b; FRL-5416-3] Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan; Wisconsin AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Proposed rule. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve a revision to the Wisconsin State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone that was submitted on June 30, 1994, and supplemented on July 15, 1994. This revision consists of a volatile organic compound (VOC) regulation which establishes reasonably available control technology (RACT) for iron and steel foundries. This regulation was submitted to address, in part, the requirement of section 182(b)(2)(C) of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act) that States revise their SIPs to establish RACT regulations for major sources of VOCs for which the USEPA has not issued a control technology guidelines (CTG) document. In addition, emission reductions resulting from this rule are being used by the State to fulfill, in part, the requirement of section 182(b)(1) of the Act that States submit a plan which provides for a 15 percent reduction in VOC emissions by 1996. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving this action as a direct final without prior proposal because EPA views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time. DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received by March 14, 1996. ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Carlton T. Nash, Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Toxics and Radiation Branch (AT- 18J), EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604-3590. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathleen D'Agostino, (312) 886-1767.
