40 CFR Part 52

[DE26–1–6940b; FRL–5320–2]

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Quality Implementation Plans;

Delaware: Regulation 24, Control of

Volatile Organic Compound Emissions

(VOC RACT Catch-Ups)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the

State Implementation Plan (SIP)

revision submitted by the State of

Delaware on December 19, 1994. The

revision consists of Sections 10, 11, 12,

44, 45, 47, 48, and 49 and Appendices

I, K, L and M to Regulation 24—

‘‘Control of Volatile Organic Compound

Emissions’’. These regulations are

necessary to satisfy the Clean Air Act

(CAA) and to support attainment and

maintenance of the National Ambient

Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) for

ozone in Delaware. In the Final Rules

section of the Federal Register, EPA 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 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will be withdrawn and all public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 on this action.

Any parties interested in commenting

on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be submitted in

writing by February 26, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to

Programs, Mailcode 3AT00, U.S.

40 CFR Part 52

[IL–18–6–6516b;FRL–5334–3]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plan; Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: On October 21, 1993, and

March 4, 1994, the Illinois

Environmental Protection Agency

(IEPA) submitted to the USEPA volatile

organic compound (VOC) rules that

were intended to satisfy part of the

requirements of section 182(b)(2) of the

Clean Air Act (Act) amendments of

1990. Specifically, these rules provide

control requirements for certain major

sources not covered by a Control

Technique Guideline (CTG) document.

These non-CTG VOC rules apply to

sources in the Chicago ozone

nonattainment area which have the

potential to emit 25 tons of VOC per

year. These rules therefore provide an

environmental benefit due to the

imposition of control requirements on

sources emitting greater than 25 tons of

VOC per year that belong to certain

source categories. IEPA estimates that

these rules will result in VOC emission

reductions, from 119 industrial plants,

of 2.78 tons per day. The USEPA

proposed to approve these VOC rules for

major non-CTG sources. This action lists

the State implementation plan revision

that USEPA is proposing to approve and

provides an opportunity for public

comment. A rationale for approving this

request is presented in the final rules

section of this Federal Register, where

USEPA is approving the revision

request as a direct final rule without

prior proposal because USEPA views

this as a noncontroversial revision and

anticipates no adverse comments. 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. Any

parties interested in commenting on this

notice should do so at this time. The

final rule on this proposed action will

address all comments received.

DATES: Comments on this document

must be received by February 26, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, Chief,

Regulatory Development Section,

Regulatory Development Branch (AR–

18J), Environmental Protection Agency,

Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,

Chicago, Illinois 60604.

Comments should be strictly limited

to the subject matter of this proposal.

Copies of the State submittal and

USEPA’s analysis of it are available for

inspection at: Regulation Development

Section, Regulation Development

Branch (AR–18J) Environmental

Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West
