Abstract
EPA is approving, under the Clean Air Act (the Act), revisions to the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on July 29, 2010, September 16, 2011 and September 29, 2011. The purpose of these rules 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. Illinois' VOC rules provide RACT requirements for the Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis 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, 2007 and 2008 and satisfy the RACT requirements of the Act. EPA proposed this rule for approval on November 30, 2011 and received comments from Illinois EPA.
