application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

In addition, this proposed rule to 

determine that the Lebanon County 

Area attained the 2012 PM2.5 NAAQS 

does not have tribal implications, as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000), because 

this proposed determination of 

attainment does not apply in Indian 

country located in the states and 

because EPA notes that it will not 

impose substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

state submission as a revision to the 

Illinois state implementation plan (SIP) 

for ozone. The revision, submitted on 

May 30, 2017, incorporates changes to 

the Illinois Administrative Code 

definition of volatile organic material, 

otherwise known as volatile organic 

compounds (VOC). The revision 

removes recordkeeping and reporting 

requirements related to the use of tbutyl acetate (also known as tertiary 

butyl acetate) as a VOC, and is in 

response to an EPA rulemaking that 

occurred in 2016. Illinois also added 

information to provide clarity to the list 

of compounds excluded from the 

definition of VOC.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this issue of the 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

Illinois’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 no adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 

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 Rules section of this issue of the 

Federal Register.
