ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IL137-1b; FRL-5868-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois

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 14, 
1996, for the purpose of making a change to the regulatory control 
period used in Illinois' current 7.2 pounds per square inch Reid Vapor 
Pressure rules for the Metro-East St. Louis ozone nonattainment area 
which includes Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair Counties. In addition, 
EPA is proposing to approve a correction to the identification number 
for the Clark Oil Company listed in Illinois' Marine Vessel Loading 
rule. 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 written adverse 
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all written 
public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule 
based on the proposed rule. EPA 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: Written comments on this proposed rule must be received on or 
before September 11, 1997.

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

final rule published in the rules section of this Federal Register.
