SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION : In the 
Final Rules section of this issue of the Federal Register, EPA is approving IDEM’s SIP revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because EPA views this as a noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. Please note that, if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For additional information see the direct final rule, which is located in the Rules section of this issue of the Federal Register.

Labeling Relief; Formaldehyde 
Emission Standards for Composite Wood Products 
AGENCY : Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA). ACTION : Proposed rule. 
SUMMARY : EPA is proposing to amend a 
final rule that published in the Federal Register on December 12, 2016 
concerning formaldehyde emission standards for composite wood products. The proposed amendment would allow compliant composite wood products and finished goods that contain compliant composite wood products that were manufactured prior to December 12, 2017 to be labeled as Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) Title VI compliant. This means that regulated composite wood products and finished goods that meet the required formaldehyde emissions standards could be voluntarily labeled as compliant as soon as compliance can be achieved. This would enhance regulatory flexibility and facilitate a smoother supply chain transition to compliance with the rule’s broader requirements, as well as promote lower formaldehyde emitting products entering commerce earlier than under the rule as originally published. EPA believes that the proposed amendment is non-controversial and does not expect to receive any adverse comments. Therefore, in addition to this Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, elsewhere in this issue of the Federal Register, EPA is 
promulgating the amendment as a direct final rule. 
DATES : Written comments must be 
received by July 26, 2017. Comments postmarked after the close of the comment period will be stamped ‘‘late’’ and may or may not be considered by the Agency.
