ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IL183-1b; FRL-6360-2]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan; Illinois

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: USEPA is proposing to approve a site specific revision to the 
Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP) for volatile organic materials 
(VOM). This revision is an exemption from the otherwise applicable SIP 
requirements for W.R. Grace, a manufacturer of container sealants, 
lubricant fluids, and concrete additives at 6050 West 51st Street, 
Chicago, Cook County, Illinois. 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 the Agency receives relevant adverse 
written comment on this action. Should the Agency receive such comment, 
it will publish a final rule informing the public that the direct final 
rule will not take effect and such public comment received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this 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 activity 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 July 19, 1999.

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: Fayette Bright, Environmental 
Protection Specialist, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs 
Branch (AR-18J), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West 
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886-6069.

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