Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plan; Illinois

AGENCY: U.S. Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The USEPA is proposing to

approve the State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision request submitted by the

Illinois Environmental Protection

Agency (IEPA) on August 15, 1996. In

the August 15 request, IEPA requested

that the Marathon Oil Company in

Robinson, Illinois be granted a carbon

monoxide variance with specified

conditions beginning January 19, 1996,

and ending August 4, 1997. In the Final

Rules section of this Federal Register,

USEPA is approving the State’s SIP

revision as a direct final rule without

prior proposal because the agency views

this as a noncontroversial SIP revision

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 proposed rule, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this rule. If USEPA 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will be withdrawn and all public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. USEPA will not institute
Federal Register / Vol. 62, No. 67 / Tuesday, April 8, 1997 / Proposed Rules 16747

a second comment period on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in

writing by May 8, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Copies of the revision

request are available for inspection at

the following address: U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency,

Region 5, Air and Radiation Division, 77

West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago,

Illinois 60604. (It is recommended that

you telephone Ryan Bahr at (312) 353–

4366 before visiting the Region 5

Office.)

J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief, Regulation

Hazardous Waste Management

System; Identification and Listing of

Hazardous Waste; Petroleum Refining

Process Wastes; and Land Disposal

Restrictions for Newly Hazardous

Wastes; Notice of Data Availability

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Notice of data availability and

request for comment.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) is making available for

public comment data and information

relating to its Notice published in the

Federal Register on November 20, 1995

(60 FR 57747). That Notice proposed to

amend EPA regulations under the

Resource Conservation and Recovery

Act (RCRA) by designating as hazardous

wastes certain petroleum refining waste

streams and proposed not to list other

petroleum waste streams. The Notice

also proposed to broaden existing RCRA

exemptions for recycling of oil-bearing

residuals and proposed to apply

universal treatment standards under the

Land Disposal Restrictions program to

the wastes proposed for listing.

Comments submitted by interested

members of the public on the proposal

have convinced EPA that the

rulemaking record could be

considerably improved by adding data

and subjecting analysis of that data to

public comments. Today’s document,

therefore, presents for public comment

modeling analyses using different

assumptions than used for the proposal,

additional analyses of waste

characteristics and disposal practices,

and other evaluations of the potential

impact of different modeling

assumptions on the risk assessment

results. This document also corrects a

number of technical errors that were

contained in the original proposal.

Pursuant to a consent decree in

Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) v.

Browner (Civ. No. 89–0598 D.D.C.), EPA

has committed to issuing this Notice of

data availability before making the final

regulatory determination on whether the

subject petroleum refining residuals

should be listed as hazardous wastes.

The consent decree requires the final

rule to be issued by April 30, 1998. The

Agency solicits comments on all aspects

of the new information sources

described in this Notice. All comments

on the new information received by the

close of the comment period will be

considered by the Agency when making

a final regulatory determination.

Comments will be accepted and

considered only on the new data

mentioned in today’s Notice and

specifically identified under the docket

number given in this document.

DATES: The Agency is reopening the

comment period only for the limited

purpose of obtaining information and

views on the new data and analyses

described in this Notice. Comments on

the additional data will be accepted

through June 9, 1997. Due to the short

deadline for the final rule, EPA does not

plan to grant any extensions of the

comment period.

ADDRESSES: Commenters must send an

original and two copies of their

comments referencing docket number

F–97–PRA–FFFFF to: RCRA Docket

Information Center, Office of Solid

Waste (5305G), U.S. Environmental

Protection Agency Headquarters (EPA,

HQ), 401 M Street, SW, Washington,

D.C. 20460. Hand deliveries of

comments should be made to the

Arlington, VA, address listed below.

Comments may also be submitted

electronically by sending electronic

mail through the Internet to:

rcradocket@epamail.epa.gov. Comments

in electronic format should also be

identified by the docket number F–97–

PRA–FFFFF. All electronic comments

must be submitted as an ASCII file

avoiding the use of special characters

and any form of encryption. If

comments are not submitted

electronically, EPA is asking

prospective commenters to voluntarily

submit one additional copy of their

comments on labeled personal computer

diskettes in ASCII (TEXT) format or a

word processing format that can be

converted to ASCII (TEXT). It is

essential to specify on the disk label the

word processing software and version/

edition as well as the commenter’s

name. This will allow EPA to convert

the comments into one of the word

processing formats utilized by the

Agency. Please use mailing envelopes

designed to physically protect the

submitted diskettes. EPA emphasizes

that submission of comments on

diskettes is not mandatory, nor will it

result in any advantage or disadvantage

to any commenter.

Commenters should not submit

electronically any confidential business

information (CBI). An original and two

copies of CBI must be submitted under

separate cover to: RCRA CBI Document

Control Officer, Office of Solid Waste

(5305W), U.S. EPA, 401 M Street, SW,

Washington, D.C. 20460.
