Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On November 30, 1994, the Illinois Environmental Protection
Agency (IEPA) submitted to the USEPA an adopted rule and supporting
information for the control of volatile organic liquid (VOL) storage
operations as a requested State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision.
This rule is part of the State's control measures for volatile organic
compound (VOC) emissions, for the Chicago and East St. Louis ozone
nonattainment areas, and is intended to satisfy part of the
requirements of section 182(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act (Act) amendments
of 1990. VOC is one of the air pollutants which combine on hot summer
days to form ground level ozone, commonly known as smog. Ozone
pollution is of particular concern because of its harmful effects upon
lung tissue and breathing passages. This regulation requires a
reasonably available control technology (RACT) level of control as
required by the amended Act. This action lists the SIP revision that
USEPA is proposing to approve and provides an opportunity for public
comment. A rationale for approving this request is presented in the
final rules section of this Federal Register, where USEPA is approving
the revision request as a direct final rule without prior proposal
because USEPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates
no adverse comments. 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final rule will be withdrawn. Any parties interested in commenting on
this notice should do so this time. The final rule on this proposed
action will address all comments received.

DATES: Comments on this document must be received by September 9, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed 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.
Comments should be strictly to the subject matter of this proposal.
Copies of the State submittal and USEPA's analysis of it 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Rosenthal, Air Programs Branch,
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, (312) 886-6052, at the
Chicago address indicated above.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information see the direct
final rule which is published in the rules section of this Federal
Register.

Dated: June 11, 1996.

Valdas V. Adamkus,

Regional Administrator.
