ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[IL167-1b; FRL-5978-9]
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan; Illinois
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the May 5, 1995, and May 26, 1995,
Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision requests regarding
Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Industry reactor and
distillation rules applicable to the Chicago and Metro-East ozone
nonattainment areas. In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, the EPA is approving the State's requests 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 proposed rule by April 22, 1998. Should the Agency receive such
comment, it will publish a final rule informing the public that the
direct final rule did 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 proposed rule. 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 April 22, 1998.
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),
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
Chicago, Illinois 60604.

final rule published in the final rules section of this Federal
