Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approves Illinois' May 18, 1994, request to repeal the Stage II vapor recovery control requirements in the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone in the East St. Louis (Metro-East) moderate ozone nonattainment area which consists of three Illinois counties: Madison, Monroe and St. Clair. Section 202 of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Act) provides that Stage II regulations are not required in moderate ozone nonattainment areas if USEPA promulgates on board vapor recovery (OBVR) regulations. The USEPA promulgated OBVR controls on April 6, 1994, which became effective on May 6, 1994. USEPA made a finding of completeness on the SIP submittal on August 24, 1994. 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. P
