ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[IL92-1-6336b; FRL-5165-9]
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 Illinois' February 7, 1994, request to incorporate
smaller source permit rule amendments into the Illinois State
Implementation Plan (SIP). The purpose of these smaller source
amendments is to lessen the permitting burden on small sources and on
the permitting authority by reducing the frequency and/or the
requirement for operating permit renewal for sources emitting less than
twenty-five tons per year of regulated air pollutants. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 May
5, 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.
