ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[IL114-1-6788b; FRL-5540-9]


Illinois; Air Quality Implementation Plans

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision request submitted by the State of Illinois on May 5, 
1995, and May 31, 1995, which establishes regulations for motor vehicle 
refinishing operations in the Chicago and Metro-East ozone 
nonattainment areas. In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, the EPA is approving this action as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because EPA 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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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 the proposed rule. Any parties interested in commenting 
on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
August 26, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR18-J), 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, 
Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    Copies of the State submittal are available for inspection at: 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR18-J), 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, 
Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark J. Palermo, Regulation 
Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago,
