ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IL218-2b; FRL-7661-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Illinois; Definition of Volatile Organic Material or Volatile Organic 
Compound

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule; Extension of the public comment period.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is extending the public comment period for a proposed rule 
published on March 23, 2004 (69 FR 13498). In the March 23, 2004 
proposed rule, EPA proposed to approve the exemption of a number of 
nonreactive compounds from Illinois' definition of volatile organic 
material or volatile organic compound. Two errors were contained in the 
direct final rule for that action which was published March 23, 2004 
(69 FR 13474). In the rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
publishing a final rule which identifies and corrects the errors, 
extends the public comment period for 30 days from the date of this 
publication and extends the effective date of the final rule for 60 
days from the date of publication. If EPA receives no written adverse 
comments in response to that direct final rule, EPA plans to take no 
further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives written adverse 
comments, which EPA has not addressed, EPA will withdraw the direct 
final rule and address all public comments received in a subsequent 
final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute an 
additional comment period on this document.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 28, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Criteria Pollutant Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), United 
States Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
