Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to

approve a variance allowing a

temporary increase in particulate matter

emissions from the Marathon Oil

refinery in Robinson, Illinois, to allow

deferral of repairs of control equipment

until the time of a scheduled

maintenance period. In the Final Rules

section of this Federal Register, USEPA

is fully approving the State

Implementation Plan revision as a direct

final rule without prior proposal,

because the USEPA views this as a

noncontroversial revision and

anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for the approval is set

forth in the direct final rule. If no

adverse written comments are received

in response to these actions, no further

activity is contemplated in relation to

this proposed rule. If USEPA receives

adverse written comments, the direct

final rule will be withdrawn and all

public comments will be addressed in a

subsequent final rule based on this

proposed rule. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be

received on or before February 25, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief,

Regulation Development Section, Air

Programs Branch (AR–18J), United

States Environmental Protection

Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
