Abstract
The EPA is approving a site-specific revision to the Illinois volatile organic compound (VOC) State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the Horween Leather Company (Horween) in Chicago, Illinois. By its submittal dated May 28, 2003, the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (Illinois EPA) requested that EPA approve a site-specific rule that would change the VOC control requirements that would apply to a small amount of specialty leathers and allow them to be produced at Horween's leather production facility in Chicago. This request is approvable because it satisfies reasonably available control technology (RACT) and is a more suitable control measure for certain of its specialty leather coating operations than the existing rule which this amends. The rationale for the approval and other information are provided in this rulemaking action.
