40 CFR PART 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2006-0543; FRL-8217-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Wisconsin

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Wisconsin State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. In these revisions, the State has 
incorporated changes EPA made to its definition of volatile organic 
compound (VOC) and its VOC control requirements for yeast 
manufacturing. As a result of EPA's approval, five chemical compounds 
will no longer be considered VOCs. The changes to VOC control 
requirements match the EPA maximum achievable control technology (MACT) 
limits for yeast manufacturers.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal 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 this rule, no 
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the 
direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 
will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed 
rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. 
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For 
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in 
the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: August 23, 2006.
