ACTION: Proposed rule; withdrawal. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is withdrawing certain proposed rulemaking actions resulting from the reconsideration of emission limitations for the metal furniture paint and adhesive operations at the Montgomery, Illinois facility owned by Allsteel, Inc. (Allsteel). In the final rules section of this Federal Register, USEPA is withdrawing the stays pending reconsideration (of emission limitations) applicable to this facility. DATES: The proposed rule is withdrawn as of January 3, 1995. ADDRESSES: Copies of the documents relevant to this action are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following location: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Regulation Development Branch, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Rosenthal, Regulation Development Branch, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. Telephone: (312) 886- 6052. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: I. Background Information On June 29, 1990, USEPA promulgated a Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) which contained stationary source Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) control measures representing Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for emission sources located in six Chicago, Illinois counties. On that date, USEPA also took final rulemaking action on certain VOC rules previously adopted and submitted by the State of Illinois for inclusion in its State Implementation Plan (SIP) (55 FR 26814). Among the sources impacted by these actions is Allsteel's plant in Kane County. As a result of this rulemaking, Allsteel's paint operations became subject to the FIP's VOC emission limitations for metal furniture coating at 40 CFR 52.741(e), while the adhesive operations were required to comply with the FIP's ``generic'' rule for miscellaneous fabricated product manufacturing at 40 CFR 52.741(u). However, because USEPA had insufficient time to respond to Allsteel's highly technical comments, the Agency deferred the effective date of the applicable rules with regard to Allsteel for six months. Similarly, USEPA deferred action on a site-specific limit for Allsteel's adhesive lines submitted by the State of Illinois for inclusion as a SIP revision. On August 28, 1990, Allsteel filed a petition for review of USEPA's June 29, 1990 rulemaking in the United States Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit. Nine other parties filed petitions for review, which were ultimately consolidated by the Court as Illinois Environmental Regulatory Group (IERG) et al. v. Reilly, No. 90-2778. In addition, Allsteel filed petitions for reconsideration of the FIP as it applied to both the adhesive and specialty paint operations. Pursuant to these petitions, USEPA convened proceedings for reconsideration pursuant to section 307(d)(7)(B) of the Clean Air Act (Act) 42 U.S.C. 7607(d)(7)(B). On May 31, 1991 (56 FR 24722), USEPA issued a stay of the FIP rules pending reconsideration for the adhesive operations; on June 4, 1993 (58 FR 31653), USEPA issued a stay of the FIP rules pending reconsideration for the specialty paint operations. Both stays, issued pursuant to section 307(d)(7)(B) of the Act, were issued only as necessary to complete reconsideration of the subject rules. On May 13, 1993, USEPA proposed site-specific RACT requirements for the paint operations (58 FR 28376). On June 18, 1993, USEPA proposed to disapprove the State's SIP submission and to promulgate a new rule for the adhesive operations (58 FR 33578). On July 11, 1994, Allsteel filed with USEPA a Withdrawal of Requests for Reconsideration in which it represented that the adhesive operations were permanently shut down on March 18, 1994, and that the paint operations were to be discontinued by July 15, 1994. In addition, on August 15, 1994, the State of Illinois withdrew its SIP revision request for the adhesive lines. II. Summary and Conclusions As a result of Allsteel's July 11, 1994 Withdrawal of Requests for Reconsideration and the State of Illinois' August 15, 1994 withdrawal of its SIP submission, USEPA is withdrawing its May 13, 1993 proposed site-specific RACT requirements for Allsteel's paint operations and its June 18, 1993 proposal to disapprove the State's SIP submission and to promulgate a new rule for the adhesive operations. In the Final rules section of this Federal Register USEPA is withdrawing the May 31, 1991 and the June 4, 1993 stays pending reconsideration, since it is no longer necessary to complete reconsideration of the subject rules. It should be noted that USEPA's June 29, 1990 FIP regulations remain in place. List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52 Environmental protection, Air pollution control, Volatile organic compound.
