ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IL214-1b; FRL-7164-5]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois 
Emission Reporting

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to Illinois rules for 
emission reporting. These revisions restructure previously approved 
emission reporting rules and add requirements for sources in the 
Chicago area trading program to report emissions of hazardous air 
pollutants. Illinois requested these revisions on November 6, 2001.
    In separate action in today's Federal Register, EPA is approving 
the submittals as a direct final rule without prior proposal, because 
the EPA views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no 
adverse comments. A detailed rationale for this action is set forth in 
the direct final rule.
    If EPA receives no adverse written comments in response to these 
actions, we contemplate no further activity in relation to this 
proposed rule. If we receive adverse written comments, we will withdraw 
the direct final rule and will address all public comments in a 
subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 14, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Mail written comments to:
    J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air 
Programs Branch (AR-18J), United States Environmental Protection 
Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    A copy of the State submittal is available for inspection at: 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), United 
States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Summerhays, Environmental 
Scientist, at (312) 886-6067.

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

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.

    Dated: March 19, 2002.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
