ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[WI61-01-7144b; FRL-5426-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan; Wisconsin; 
Lithographic Printing SIP Revision

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 May 12, 1995, 
and supplemented on June 14, 1995 and November 14, 1995. This revision 
consists of a volatile organic compound (VOC) regulation which 
establishes reasonably available control technology (RACT) for 
lithographic printing facilities. 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 that 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 May 9, 
1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Carlton T. Nash, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), EPA, 
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604-3590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the Direct 
Final rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal 
Register. Copies of the request and the EPA's analysis are available 
for inspection at the following address: (Please telephone Kathleen 
D'Agostino at (312) 886-1767 before visiting the Region 5 office.) EPA,

    Authority: 42 U.S. C. 7401-7671q.

    Dated: January 29, 1996.
