ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R05–OAR–2015–0009; EPA–R05– 

OAR–2015–0314; FRL–9946–79–Region 5] 

Air Plan Approval; Illinois; NAAQS 

Update 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revised rules submitted by the State of 

Illinois as State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) revisions. The submitted rules 

update Illinois’ ambient air quality 

standards to include the 2012 primary 

National Ambient Air Quality Standard 

(NAAQS) for fine particulate matter 

(PM2.5), add EPA-promulgated 

monitoring methods, and address the 

‘‘sunset provisions’’ in our regulation, 

finding that the 1971 NAAQS for sulfur 

dioxide no longer applies to the Lemont 

and Pekin areas in Illinois. In addition, 

the revised rules contain the timing 

requirements for the ‘‘flagging of 

exceptional events’’ and the submitting 

of documentation supporting the 

determination of exceptional events for 

the 2012 primary annual averaged PM2.5

standard. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before July 11, 2016. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R05– 

OAR–2015–0009 or EPA–R05–OAR– 

2015–0314 at http://

www.regulations.gov or via email to 

Aburano.Douglas@epa.gov. For 

comments submitted at Regulations.gov, 

follow the online instructions for 

submitting comments. Once submitted, 

comments cannot be edited or removed 

from Regulations.gov. For either manner 

of submission, EPA may publish any 

comment received to its public docket. 

Do not submit electronically any 

information you consider to be 

Confidential Business Information (CBI) 

or other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. EPA will generally not consider 

comments or comment contents located 

outside of the primary submission (i.e. 

on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 

system). For additional submission 

methods, please contact the person 

identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the 

full EPA public comment policy, 

information about CBI or multimedia 

submissions, and general guidance on 

making effective comments, please visit

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Edward Doty, Air Programs Branch 

(AR–18J), Environmental Protection 

Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, 

Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886–6057, 

Doty.Edward@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittals as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views these as noncontroversial 

submittals 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 Federal 

Register. 

Dated: May 10, 2016.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
