AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[CA 83–5–6889b; FRL–5165–6]

Approval and Promulgation of State

Implementation Plans; California State

Implementation Plan Revision, Bay

Area Air Quality Management District

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve

revisions to the California State

Implementation Plan (SIP) which

concern the control of volatile organic

compound (VOC) emissions from

organic liquid bulk terminals and bulk

plants, surface coating of miscellaneous

metal parts and products, aerospace

assembly and component coating

operations, flexible and rigid disc

manufacturing, gasoline bulk terminals,

gasoline bulk plants, and gasoline

delivery vehicles. One of the rules

concerns the submittal of VOC and

oxides of nitrogen (NOX) emissions data

to the district.

The intended effect of proposing

approval of these rules is to regulate

emissions of VOCs and NOx in

accordance with the requirements of the

Clean Air Act, as amended in 1990

(CAA or the Act). In the final rules

section of this Federal Register, the EPA

is approving the state’s SIP revision as

a direct final rule without prior proposal

because the Agency views this as a

noncontroversial revision amendment

and anticipates no adverse comments. A

detailed rationale for this 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 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will be withdrawn and all public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. The EPA will not

institute a second comment period on

this document. Any parties interested in

commenting on this action should do so

at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received in writing by May 3,

1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to: Daniel A.

[IL91–1–6279b; FRL–5169–5]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to

approve the site-specific State

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision

request submitted by the State of Illinois

on January 25, 1994, for Quantum

Chemical Corporation’s facility located

in Morris, Illinois. This site-specific SIP

revision alters certain Reasonably

Available Control Technology (RACT)

regulations contained within 35 Illinois

Administrative Code (IAC) Part 218 as

they apply to specific units or plants

within this facility. This approval is

based upon sufficient demonstration

that factors relating to this facility are

substantially and significantly different

from those relied upon in adopting 35

IAC Part 218, and that these factors

warrant a corresponding adjustment of

its RACT requirements. In the final rules

section of this Federal Register, the

USEPA is approving this action as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because USEPA views this as a

noncontroversial action 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

that direct final rule, no further activity

is contemplated in relation to this

proposed 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 the

proposed rule. Please be aware that

USEPA will institute another comment

period on this action only if warranted

by significant revisions to the

rulemaking based on any comments

received in response to the direct final

rule. Any parties interested in

commenting on this notice should do so

at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received on or before May 3,

1995. If no such comments are received,

USEPA hereby advises the public that

the direct final rule will be effective on

June 2, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief,

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The United States

Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) proposes to approve Illinois’

November 28, 1994, request to amend

the marine vessel loading rules for the

Chicago and Metro-East areas as part of

the State’s 15 percent (%) Rate of

Progress Plan control measures for

Volatile Organic Matter emissions. The

control measures require marine

terminals, from May 1 through

September 15, to operate a vapor

collection and control system which

achieves a 95% control efficiency. In the

final rules section of this Federal

Register, the USEPA is approving this

action as a direct final rule without

prior proposal because USEPA views

this as a noncontroversial action 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 that direct final rule, no

further activity is contemplated in

relation to this proposed 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 the proposed rule. USEPA will

not institute a second comment period

on this action. Any parties interested in

commenting on this notice should do so

at this time.

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans; State of

Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision by the state of Missouri that

revises the Missouri Part D new source

review (NSR) rules, updates and adds

numerous definitions, revises the

maximum allowable increase for

particulate matter under the

requirements for prevention of

significant deterioration (PSD) of air

quality, address emission statements

under title I of the Clean Air Act

Amendments (CAAA), and generally

enhance the SIP.

This revision generally meets

requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA)

as Amended in 1990 with regard to NSR

in areas that have not attained the

national ambient air quality standard

(NAAQS). However, Missouri is

required to make certain changes to the

NSR rules, as outlined in this proposal,

before EPA can grant final approval to

this SIP revision. This implementation

plan was submitted by the state to

satisfy certain Federal requirements for

an approvable nonattainment NSR SIP

for Missouri.

DATES: Comments must be received on

or before May 3, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

Robert J. Lambrechts, Environmental

Protection Agency, Air Branch, 726

Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas

66101.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

The air quality planning requirements

for nonattainment NSR are set out in

part D of title I of the Act. EPA has

issued a ‘‘General Preamble’’ describing

EPA’s preliminary views on how EPA

intends to review SIP revisions

submitted under part D, including those

state submittals containing

nonattainment area NSR SIP

requirements (see 57 FR 13498 (April

16, 1992) and 57 FR 18070 (April 28,

1992)). Because EPA is describing its

interpretations here only in broad terms,

the reader should refer to the General

Preamble for a more detailed discussion

of the interpretations of part D advanced

in today’s proposal and the supporting

rationale.

The EPA is currently developing a

proposed rule to assist the

implementation of the changes under

the amended Act in the NSR provisions

in parts C and D of title I of the Act. If

EPA has not taken final action on the

state’s NSR submittals by the time the

proposed rule is published for

comment, EPA may refer to the

proposed rule as the most authoritative

guidance available regarding the

approvability of the submittals. Upon

promulgation of the final regulations,

EPA will review the NSR SIPs of all

states to determine whether additional

SIP revisions are necessary.

Prior to EPA approval of a state’s NSR

SIP submission, the state may continue

permitting only in accordance with the

new statutory requirements for permit

applications completed after the

relevant SIP submittal date. This policy

was explained in transition guidance

memoranda from John Seitz dated

March 11, 1991, and September 3, 1992.

As explained in the March 11

memorandum, EPA does not believe

Congress intended to mandate the more

stringent Title I NSR requirements

during the time provided for SIP

development. States were thus allowed

to continue to issue permits consistent

with requirements in their current NSR

SIPs during that period; or apply 40 CFR

part 51, appendix S for newly
