ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[WI117-01-7347b; FRL-7637-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Wisconsin

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve a revision to the Wisconsin regulations as they pertain to 
Northern Engraving Corporation (NEC) facilities in Galesville and West 
Salem, Wisconsin as requested by the State of Wisconsin on June 27, 
2003. This State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision makes changes to 
Wisconsin air pollution control rules federally enforceable. The rule 
revisions modify the emission limits adopted by the state that are part 
of the current Wisconsin SIP. The revised rules, specifically portions 
of the Environmental Cooperative Agreement with NEC, supercede portions 
of the rules in the Wisconsin SIP.
    In the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of this Federal Register, 
EPA is approving the State's request as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and 
anticipates no adverse comments. The rationale for approval is set 
forth in the direct final rule. If EPA receives no written adverse 
comments, EPA will take no further action on this proposed rule. If EPA 
receives written adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal 
of the direct final rule in the Federal Register and inform the public 
that the rule will not take effect. In that event, EPA will address all 
relevant public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this 
proposed rule. In either event, EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting must do so 
at this time.

DATES: Comments on this action must be received by November 4, 2004.

I. What Action Is EPA Taking Today?

    The EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Wisconsin 
regulations as they pertain to NEC's Galesville and West Salem, 
Wisconsin facilities as requested by the State of Wisconsin on June 27, 
2003. The SIP revision makes changes to Wisconsin air pollution control 
rules federally enforceable. These rule changes were made at the 
request of NEC and the State of Wisconsin and they apply to the 
operation of the NEC Galesville and West Salem facilities. The rule 
revisions modify the emission limits adopted by the State of Wisconsin, 
which are part of the current Wisconsin SIP. The rule revisions and 
portions of the Environmental Cooperative Agreement supercede portions 
of rules in the Wisconsin SIP requiring a source-specific SIP revision.

II. Where Can I Find More Information About This Proposal and 
Corresponding Direct Final Rule?

    For additional information see the direct final rule published in 
the Rules and Regulations section of this Federal Register.
