Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule; extension of the

public comment period.

SUMMARY: The United States

Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) promulgated the Chicago

ozone Federal Implementation Plan

(FIP) on June 29, 1990. Included in

USEPA’s FIP was a requirement that

staple manufacturing facilities such as

Duo-Fast Corporation’s Franklin Park,

Illinois facility be subject to specific

emission limits. On November 27, 1990,

Duo-Fast filed a petition for

reconsideration with USEPA in which it

contended that USEPA failed to respond

to Duo-Fast’s March 2, 1990, comments

in response to USEPA’s December 27,

1990, proposed promulgation of the
Federal Register / Vol. 60, No. 97 / Friday, May 19, 1995 / Proposed Rules 26859

Chicago FIP. On November 19, 1994 (59

FR 59739), USEPA published a

proposed rule on this reconsideration

which offered the opportunity for a

public hearing. A public hearing was

held on the November 19, 1994,

proposed rule on March 8, 1995, and the

public comment period was reopened

February 3, 1995 (60 FR 6687) and

remained open until April 7, 1995 (30

days after the public hearing). At the

request of Duo-Fast, USEPA is granting

a further ninety day extension of the

public comment period until July 6,

1995.

DATES: The public comment period is

reopened from May 19, 1995 until July

6, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the

proposed rule should be addressed to: J.

Elmer Bortzer, Chief, Regulation

Development Section (AR–18J), U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency,

SUMMARY: The State of Connecticut has

applied for final approval of its

underground storage tank (UST)

program under Subtitle I of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),

42 U.S.C. 9004 et seq. The

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

has reviewed Connecticut’s application

and has made the tentative decision that

Connecticut’s underground storage tank

program satisfies all of the requirements

necessary to qualify for final program

approval. EPA intends to grant final

approval to Connecticut to operate its

program in lieu of the Federal program.

Connecticut’s application for final

approval is available for public review

and comment and a public hearing will

be held to solicit comments on the

application, if requested.

than June 21, 1995. EPA will then

respond to written comments where

issues are raised concerning EPA’s

A public hearing is scheduled for June

21, 1995. The hearing will begin at

10:00 a.m. and will continue until the

end of testimony or 1:00 p.m.,

whichever is later. Connecticut will

participate in any public hearing held

by EPA on this subject. Requests to

present oral comments at the hearing

must be received at EPA by June 14,

1995.

EPA reserves the right to cancel the

public hearing if significant public

interest in a hearing is not

communicated to EPA, in writing, and

postmarked by June 14, 1995.

EPA will determine after June 14,

1995 whether there is significant

interest to hold a public hearing. In the

event the public hearing is cancelled,

persons requesting to present oral

comments will be timely notified of the

cancellation.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

A. Background

Section 9004 of the Resource

Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA),

42 U.S.C. 9004, authorizes EPA to

approve State underground storage tank

programs to operate in lieu of the

Federal underground storage tank (UST)

program. Program approval is granted

by EPA, if the Agency finds that the

State program:

(1) Is ‘‘no less stringent’’ than the

Federal program in all eight elements

found at 40 CFR 281;

(2) Includes the notification

requirements found at Section

9004(a)(8), 42 U.S.C. 6991c(a)(8); and

(3) Provides for adequate enforcement

of compliance with UST standards at

Section 9004(a), 42 U.S.C. 6991c(a).

B. Connecticut

In February of 1991, the State of

Connecticut submitted a draft UST

application to EPA for program

approval. The Connecticut Department

of Environmental Protection (CT DEP)

prepared and submitted the application,

because it is responsible for the

underground storage tank regulatory

program and the leaking underground

storage tank corrective action program.

The CT DEP, working with EPA,

amended its UST rules, to meet the ‘‘no

less stringent’’ federal requirements.

Consistent with Connecticut’s laws, the

State provided public notice and an

opportunity to comment on the

amended regulations, Connecticut DEP

held public hearings on May 22, 1992

and on September 29, 1992. The

proposed regulations were rejected

without prejudice by Connecticut’s

Legislative Regulation Review

Committee (LRRC) most recently in

April of 1994. However, CT DEP

corrected the regulations and the LRRC

approved them. The regulations then

became effective on July 28, 1994, but

were not fully enforceable until they

were published on September 27, 1994.

In accordance with the requirements

of 40 CFR 281.50(b), Connecticut

published a public notice on April 14,

1992 and August 25, 1992, announcing

a public hearing to be held on May 22,

1992 and September 29, 1992,

respectively and requesting comments

on Connecticut’s intention to seek

program approval. On December 28,

1994, EPA received a Final Application

for program approval.

EPA reviewed Connecticut’s

application and tentatively determined

that the state’s program meets all of the
