ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[IL177-1b; FRL-6506-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan: Illinois
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve an Illinois' State Implementation
Plan (SIP) revision request affecting air permit rules, submitted on
July 23, 1998. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the
EPA is approving the State's request as a direct final rule without
prior proposal because EPA 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 withdrawal of the 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 action. EPA 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 on this proposed rule must be received on or
before February 2, 2000.
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),
