40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2005-IL-0001; FRL-8290-6]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Illinois

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of revisions to volatile organic 
compound (VOC) rules for Formel Industries, Inc. (Formel) as a revision 
to the Illinois State Implementation Plan. On December 12, 2001, EPA 
approved an adjusted standard for Formel. Formel, a flexographic 
printer in Cook County, Illinois, was given an adjusted standard 
because Illinois determined it was not technically feasible or 
economically reasonable for Formel to meet the VOC control requirements 
for flexographic printers. Illinois withdrew the adjusted standard 
because Formel has installed a catalytic oxidizer that allows it to 
meet the VOC control requirements. This control device will reduce VOC 
emissions from Formel, which is a precursor to ozone formation.

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 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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 Federal Register.

    Dated: February 28, 2007.
