ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[IL115-6791b; FRL-5166-2]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision
request submitted by the State of Illinois on October 25, 1994, for the
purpose of lowering the Reid Vapor Pressure (RVP) of gasoline from 9.0
pounds per square inch (psi) to 7.2 psi for the Metro-East St. Louis
(Metro-East) ozone nonattainment area which includes Madison, Monroe,
and St. Clair Counties. In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, the USEPA is approving this action as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because USEPA views this as a noncontroversial
action 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 that direct final rule, no further
activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If USEPA
receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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 the proposed rule. USEPA will not institute a second
comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on
this notice should do so at this time.
DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before
April 24, 1995.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer,
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Regulation Development Branch
(AR18-J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
Copies of the State submittal and USEPA's analysis of it are
available for inspection at: Regulation Development Section, Regulation
Development Branch (AR18-J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
