In this action, USEPA isapproving the State’s finding that noadditional control measures are neededthrough a ‘‘direct final’’ rulemaking; therationale for this approval is set forthbelow. Elsewhere in this FederalRegister, USEPA is proposing approvaland soliciting comment on this directfinal action; if adverse comments arereceived, USEPA will withdraw thedirect final rulemaking and address thecomments received in a new final rule;otherwise, no further rulemaking willoccur on this requested negativedeclaration.DATES: This action will be effectiveApril 14, 1997 unless adverse commentsnot previously addressed by the State orUSEPA are received by March 13, 1997.If the effective date of this action isdelayed due to adverse comments,timely notice will be published in theFederal Register.ADDRESSES: Written comments shouldbe sent to: J.

BackgroundSection 183(b)(3) of the Clean Air Actrequires the Administrator of USEPA toissue a Control Technique Guideline(CTG) for controlling VOM emissionsfrom the Marine Coatings SIC categorysources. Illinois was required to adoptrules controlling VOM emissions fromsources in this SIC category with apotential to emit twenty-five or moretons per year of VOM (major sources)and located in either of Illinois’ ozonenonattainment areas. The Chicago ozonenonattainment area is comprised ofCook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry,Will Counties and Aux Sable and GooseLake Townships in Grundy County andOswego Township in Kendall County.The Metro-East ozone nonattainmentarea is comprised of Madison, Monroe,and St. Clair Counties. Illinois reviewedthe data in its emissions inventory database and determined that there were nomajor sources in the marine coatingscategory located in Illinois ozonenonattainment areas. Illinois alsodetermined that should such a majorsource exist it would be subject toregulation under the provisions of theState non-CTG rules.The USEPA has reviewed thedocumentation on which this Illinoisnegative declaration is based. TheUSEPA agrees with the Illinois findingthat there are no major sources of VOMfrom marine coating facilities located inIllinois’ Chicago or Metro-East ozonenonattainment areas.II. Rulemaking ActionThe USEPA approves theincorporation of Illinois’ negativedeclaration concerning marine coatingsinto the Illinois SIP for ozone.The USEPA is publishing this actionwithout prior proposal because USEPAviews this as a noncontroversialrevision and anticipates no adversecomments. However, in a separatedocument in this Federal Registerpublication, the USEPA is proposing toapprove the SIP revision should adverseor critical comments be filed. Thisaction will be effective on April 14,1997 unless, by March 13, 1997, adverseor critical comments are received.If the USEPA receives suchcomments, this action will bewithdrawn before the effective date bypublishing a subsequent rulemakingthat will withdraw the final action. Allpublic comments received will beaddressed in a subsequent final rulebased on this action serving as aproposed rule. The USEPA will notinstitute a second comment period onthis action. Any parties interested incommenting on this action should do soat this time. If no such comments arereceived, the public is advised that thisaction will be effective on April 14,1997.Nothing in this action should beconstrued as permitting, allowing orestablishing a precedent for any futurerequest for revision to any SIP. Eachrequest for revision to the SIP shall beconsidered separately in light of specifictechnical, economic, and environmentalfactors and in relation to relevantstatutory and regulatory requirements.
