ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2016-0272; FRL-9964-45-Region 5]


Air Plan Approval; Ohio; Control of Emissions of Organic 
Materials That Are Not Regulated by VOC RACT Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve, under the Clean Air Act, revisions to the Ohio Administrative 
Code rule as part of Ohio's State Implementation Plan (SIP). This rule 
has generally been revised to: Make minor style changes to meet Ohio's 
legislative service commission style and formatting guidelines; add 
specific effective dates within the rule; correct certain errors and 
omissions introduced when the rule was last revised; remove facilities 
and units that have been permanently shut down; update the names of 
certain subject facilities; and modify certain source applicability 
exclusions. Sources controlled by this rule are not covered by existing 
Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) Reasonably Available Control Technology 
(RACT) rules or other organic material emission control rules in Ohio's 
Administrative Code.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 10, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2016-0272, at https://www.regulations.gov, or via email to 
[email protected]. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, 
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either 
manner of submission, EPA may publish any comment received to its 
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you 
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia 
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written 
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and 
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e. on the Web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person 
identified in the For Further Information Contact section. For the full 
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia 
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Kathleen D'Agostino, Environmental 
Engineer, Attainment Planning and Maintenance Section, Air Programs 
Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 
West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886-1767, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this issue of 
the Federal Register, EPA is approving Ohio's SIP revisions as a direct 
final rule without prior proposal because EPA 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 issue of the Federal Register.

    Dated: June 21, 2017.
Robert A. Kaplan,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
