ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WI-49-01-6738b; FRL-5254-5]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)

proposes to approve revisions to Wisconsin's State Implementation Plan

(SIP) for ozone which were submitted to the USEPA on April 17, 1990,

and June 30, 1994, and supplemented on July 15, 1994. Included in these

revisions is a volatile organic compound (VOC) regulation which

establishes reasonably available control technology (RACT) for screen

printing facilities. Additionally, the State has submitted current

negative declarations for pre-1990 Control Technology Guideline (CTG)

categories for which Wisconsin does not have rules as well as a list of

major sources affected by the 13 CTG categories that USEPA is required

to issue pursuant to sections 183(a), 183(b)(3) and 183(b)(4) of the

Clean Air Act (Act). These revisions were submitted to address, in

part, the requirement of section 182(b)(2)(B) of the Act that States

adopt RACT regulations for sources covered by pre-1990 CTG documents,

and the requirement of section 182(b)(2)(C) of the Act that States

revise their SIPs to establish RACT regulations for major sources of

VOCs for which the USEPA has not issued a CTG document. 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, thedirect

final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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

August 28, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: Carlton T. Nash,

Chief,
