Abstract
EPA is approving, under the Clean Air Act (the Act), revisions to the Wisconsin State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on September 1, 2009, November 16, 2011, and January 26, 2012. The purpose of these revisions is to satisfy the Act's requirement that states revise their SIPs to include Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for sources of Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions in moderate ozone nonattainment areas. Wisconsin's VOC rules provide RACT requirements for the Milwaukee-Racine and Sheboygan 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment areas. These rules are approvable because they are consistent with the Control Technique Guideline (CTG) documents issued by EPA in 2006 and 2007 and satisfy the RACT requirements of the Act. EPA proposed this rule for approval on February 22, 2012, and received no comments.
