AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R05–OAR–2007–1131; FRL–8921–6] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Illinois; 

Oxides of Nitrogen Regulations, Phase 

II 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a request submitted by the Illinois 

Environmental Protection Agency 

(Illinois EPA) on October 23, 2007, to 

revise the Illinois State Implementation 

Plan (SIP). The rules submitted by 

Illinois EPA satisfy the requirements of 

EPA’s NOX SIP Call Phase II Rule (the 

Phase II Rule). We are proposing to 

approve these regulations based on 

Illinois’ demonstration that the State 

will meet the emissions targets set forth 

in the Phase II Rule through reductions 

from stationary internal combustion (IC) 

engines and turbines which are 

identified in the NOX plan submittal. 

Limiting NOX emissions from IC engines 

and turbines will enable the State to 

meet the 7,055 ton reduction 

requirement contained in the Phase II 

Rule, thereby improving air quality and 

protecting the health of Illinois citizens.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP submittal as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If we do not receive any adverse 

comments in response to this rule, we 

do not contemplate taking any further 

action. If EPA receives adverse 

comments, we will withdraw the direct 

final rule, and will address all public 

comments in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on an amendment, paragraph, 

or section of this rule and if that 

provision may be severed from the 

remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt 

as final those provisions of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule, which is 

located in the Final Rules section of this 

Federal Register.
