ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[IL143-1b; FRL-5671-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve Illinois' January 8, 1996, 
submittal of a site-specific State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 
request for Reynolds Metals Company's McCook Sheet and Plate Plant in 
McCook, Illinois (in Cook County). The purpose of this request is to 
amend the State's volatile organic material (VOM) reasonably available 
control technology (RACT) requirements for Reynolds' aluminum rolling 
operations to mirror the facility's RACT requirements promulgated under 
the Chicago area Federal Implementation Plan. 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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 
February 20, 1997.

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.
