SUMMARY: On September 13, 1994, (59 FR 46920) the United States

Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved Illinois' 1990 base

year ozone precursor emission inventories for certain ozone

nonattainment areas as a revision to the Illinois State Implementation

Plan (SIP). The emission inventories were submitted by the State of

Illinois to satisfy a Federal requirement that States containing ozone

nonattainment areas submit inventories of actual ozone precursor

emissions in accordance with USEPA guidance. The ozone nonattainment

areas covered by the emission inventories addressed in the above

mentioned rulmaking are: Chicago (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry,

and Will Counties, AuxSable and Goose Lake Townships in Grundy County,

and Oswego Township in Kendall County; Metro-East St. Louis (Madison,

Monroe, and St. Clair Counties); and Jersey County. The USEPA is

removing this final rule due to the adverse comments received on this

rule. In a subsequent final rule, USEPA will summarize and respond to

the comments received and announce final rulemaking action on this

requested Illinois SIP revision.
