ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 62

[IL159-1b; FRL-5938-3]


Approval and Promulgation of State Plans For Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve Illinois' Section 111(d)/129 State 
Plan submitted on June 23, 1997, for implementing and enforcing the 
Emissions Guidelines applicable to existing municipal waste combustors 
with capacity to combust more than 250 tons/day of municipal solid 
waste. 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 written comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set 
forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse written 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 
written comments (which have not already been responded to), the direct 
final rule will be withdrawn and the written public comments will be 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: Written comments on this proposed rule must be received on or 
before January 28, 1998.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark J. Palermo, Environmental 
Protection Specialist, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs 
Branch (AR-18J), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West 
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886-6082.

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