Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approves Illinois' February 7, 1994, request to incorporate smaller source permit rule amendments into the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP). The purpose of these smaller source amendments is to lessen the permitting burden on small sources and on the permitting authority by reducing the frequency and/or the requirement for operating permit renewal for sources emitting less than twenty-five tons per year total of regulated air pollutants. In the proposed rules section of this Federal Register, USEPA is proposing approval of and soliciting public comment on this requested SIP revision. If adverse comments are received on this action, USEPA will withdraw this final rule and address the comments received in response to this action in a final rule on the related proposed rule which is being published in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register. A second public comment period will not be held. Parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
