ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2015-0075; FRL-9929-72-Region 5]


Approval of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Sheboygan County, 
Wisconsin 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area; Reasonable Further Progress 
Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve an Early Progress Plan and motor vehicle emissions budgets 
(MVEBs) for volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen for 
Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Wisconsin submitted an Early Progress Plan 
for Sheboygan County on January 16, 2015. This submittal was developed 
to establish MVEBs for the Sheboygan 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. 
This approval of the Early Progress Plan for the Sheboygan 8-hour ozone 
area is based on EPA's determination that Wisconsin has demonstrated 
that the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision containing these 
MVEBs, when considered with the emissions from all sources, shows some 
progress toward attainment from the 2011 base year through a 2015 
target year.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 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, which is located in the Rules section of this Federal Register. 
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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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.

    Dated: June 19, 2015.

Regional Administrator, Region 5.
