ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR PART 52

[IL161-1b; FRL-6216-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: USEPA is proposing to approve a requested source specific 
revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone in 
the form of a variance from the otherwise applicable SIP requirements 
for DB Hess Company, Incorporated's lithographic printing plant which 
is located in Woodstock, in McHenry County, Illinois. The variance took 
effect on the State level on March 20, 1997 and expires on March 30, 
1999. The State's plan submittal request was made on September 3, 1997 
pursuant to requirements found in the Clean Air Act (CAA). In the final 
rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is approving the 
State's request as a direct final rule without prior proposal because 
USEPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse 
comments. A detailed rationale for approving the State's request is set 
forth in the direct final rule. The direct final rule will become 
effective without further notice unless USEPA receives relevant adverse 
written comment. Should USEPA receive such comment, it will publish a 
timely withdrawal informing the public that this direct final rule will 
not take effect and such public comment received will be addressed in a 
subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. If no adverse written 
comments are received, the direct final rule will take effect on the 
date stated in that document, and no further action will be taken on 
this proposed rule. USEPA does not plan to institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before February 16, 
1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments may be mailed to J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), Region 5 
at the address listed below.
    Copies of the materials submitted by the Illinois Environmental 
Protection Agency (IEPA) may be examined during normal business hours 
at the following location: Regulation Development Section, Air Programs 
Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois, 60604.

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