ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[IL218-2b; FRL-7661-7]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Illinois; Definition of Volatile Organic Material or Volatile Organic
Compound
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule; Extension of the public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is extending the public comment period for a proposed rule
published on March 23, 2004 (69 FR 13498). In the March 23, 2004
proposed rule, EPA proposed to approve the exemption of a number of
nonreactive compounds from Illinois' definition of volatile organic
material or volatile organic compound. Two errors were contained in the
direct final rule for that action which was published March 23, 2004
(69 FR 13474). In the rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is
publishing a final rule which identifies and corrects the errors,
extends the public comment period for 30 days from the date of this
publication and extends the effective date of the final rule for 60
days from the date of publication. If EPA receives no written adverse
comments in response to that direct final rule, EPA plans to take no
further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives written adverse
comments, which EPA has not addressed, EPA will withdraw the direct
final rule and address all public comments received in a subsequent
final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute an
additional comment period on this document.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 28, 2004.
ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to: J. Elmer Bortzer,
Chief, Criteria Pollutant Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), United
