Abstract
In this action, USEPA approves a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, submitted by the State of Illinois on April 25, 1997, for the general conformity rules. The general conformity SIP revision enables the State of Illinois to implement the Federal general conformity requirements in the nonattainment and maintenance areas at the State level. General Conformity assures that Federal actions conform to the State plan to attain and maintain the public health based air quality standards. In this action, USEPA is approving the Illinois General Conformity rules through a ``direct final'' rulemaking; the rationale for this ``direct final'' approval and other information is set forth below.
