    Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan; Illinois

    SUMMARY: On November 14, 1995, May 9, 1996, June 14, 1996, February 1, 
    1999, and May 19, 1999, the State of Illinois submitted State 
    Implementation Plan (SIP) revision requests to meet commitments related 
    to our conditional approval of Illinois' May 15, 1992, SIP submittal 
    for the Lake Calumet (Southeast Chicago), McCook, and Granite City, 
    Illinois, Particulate Matter (PM) nonattainment areas. EPA is proposing 
    to approve the SIP revision request as it applies to the Lake Calumet 
    area, including the attainment demonstration for the Lake Calumet PM 
    nonattainment area. The SIP revision request corrects, for the Lake 
    Calumet PM nonattainment area, all of the deficiencies of the May 15, 
    1992, submittal (as discussed in the November 18, 1994, conditional 
    approval notice). EPA is also proposing to remove the codification of 
    the conditional approval and codify the final portions of Illinois' 
    part D plan for the Granite City, Lake Calumet, and McCook moderate PM 
    nonattainment areas. EPA approved the Granite City PM plan, effective 
    May 11, 1998, and the McCook PM plan, effective November 9, 1998.
    
    DATES: EPA must receive comments by August 13, 1999.
    
    ADDRESSES: You should mail written comments to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
    Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), 
    U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson 
    Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

    to the Lake Calumet area, including the attainment demonstration for 
    the Lake Calumet PM nonattainment area. The SIP revision request

    deficiencies of the May 15, 1992, submittal (as discussed in the 
    November 18, 1994, conditional approval notice). We are also proposing 
    to remove the codification of the conditional approval and codify the 
    final portions of Illinois' part D plan for the Granite City, Lake 
    Calumet, and McCook moderate PM nonattainment areas.
