Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois

The EPA approves Illinois' May 5, 1995, May 26, 1995, and May 31, 1995, submittal of miscellaneous amendments to Illinois'' Volatile Organic Material (VOM) Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) rules as requested revisions to Illinois' State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. VOM, as defined by the State of Illinois, is identical to ``volatile organic compounds'' (VOC), as defined by EPA. These amendments make certain clarifications to the State's VOM RACT rules, and includes an exemption of certain polyethylene foam packaging operations from these rules. In this action, EPA is approving the requested SIP revision through a ``direct final'' rulemaking; the rationale for this approval is set forth below. Elsewhere in this Federal Register, EPA is proposing approval and soliciting comment on this direct final action; if adverse comments are received, EPA will withdraw the direct final rulemaking and address the comments received in a new final rule; otherwise, no further rulemaking will occur on this requested SIP revision.
