ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[IL124-1-6977b; FRL-5435-7]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan; Illinois; 
Clean Fuel Fleet Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: USEPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Illinois State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for the purpose of establishing a Clean-Fuel 
Fleet Program. Illinois submitted the SIP revision request on September 
29, 1995, to satisfy a federal mandate, found in the Clean Air Act, 
requiring certain states to establish Clean-Fuel Fleet Programs. This 
revision establishes and requires the implementation of a Clean-Fuel 
Fleet Program in the Chicago ozone nonattainment area. In the final 
rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is approving this 
action as a direct final rule without prior proposal because USEPA 
views this as a noncontroversial action 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. USEPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any 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 
April 18, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), 
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 for inspection at: Regulation Development Section, Air 
Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 
5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Francisco Acevedo, Regulation 
Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental
