ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IL163-1b; FRL-6119-1]

 
Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan; Illinois

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: USEPA is proposing to approve the October 10, 1997, Illinois 
Environmental Protection Agency (IEPA) request that USEPA change the 
regulatory status for Riverside Laboratories, Inc.''s (Riverside) Kane 
County facility, based on Riverside's current compliance with the 
applicable State Implementation Plan (SIP) rule. In the final rules 
section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is approving the State's 
request as a direct final rule without prior proposal because USEPA 
views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse 
comments. A detailed rationale for approving the State's request is set 
forth in the direct final rule. The direct final rule will become 
effective without further notice unless US EPA receives relevant 
adverse written comments or a request for a public hearing on this 
proposed rule. Should USEPA receive such comment, it will publish a 
final rule informing the public that the direct final rule did not take 
effect and such public comment received will be addressed in a 
subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. If no adverse 
written comments or request for a public hearing are received, the 
direct final rule will take effect on the date stated in that document 
and no further activity will be taken on this proposed rule. USEPA does 
not plan to institute a second comment period on this action. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Written comments or a request for a public hearing on this 
proposed rule must be received on or before July 31, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed 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.
    Copies of the State submittal 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 
(AR-18J), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886-6052.

final rule published in the final rules section of this Federal
