Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois

On September 13, 1994, (59 FR 46920) the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved Illinois' 1990 base year ozone precursor emission inventories for certain ozone nonattainment areas as a revision to the Illinois State Implementation Plan (SIP). The emission inventories were submitted by the State of Illinois to satisfy a Federal requirement that States containing ozone nonattainment areas submit inventories of actual ozone precursor emissions in accordance with USEPA guidance. The ozone nonattainment areas covered by the emission inventories addressed in the above mentioned rulmaking are: Chicago (Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, McHenry, and Will Counties, AuxSable and Goose Lake Townships in Grundy County, and Oswego Township in Kendall County; Metro-East St. Louis (Madison, Monroe, and St. Clair Counties); and Jersey County. The USEPA is removing this final rule due to the adverse comments received on this rule. In a subsequent final rule, USEPA will summarize and respond to the comments received and announce final rulemaking action on this requested Illinois SIP revision.
