Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Illinois

On May 5, 1995, the State of Illinois submitted a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision request to the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) for wood furniture coating operations as part of the State's 15 percent (%) Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) plan control measures for Volatile Organic Matter (VOM) emissions. A supplement to this request was submitted on May 26, 1995. USEPA made a finding of completeness in a letter dated July 13, 1995. A final approval action is being taken because the submittal meets all pertinent Federal requirements. The SIP revision modifies the source size applicability cut-off for wood furniture coating operation facilities located in the Chicago and Metro-East St. Louis ozone nonattainment areas from 100 to 25 tons of VOM emitted, or potential to emit, per year. The USEPA is publishing this action without prior proposal because USEPA views this action as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. However, USEPA is publishing a separate document in this Federal Register publication, which constitutes a ``proposed approval'' of the requested SIP revision and clarifies that the rulemaking will not be deemed final
