ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[WI109-01-7339b, FRL-7115-8]
 
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Wisconsin; Automobile Refinishing Operations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve a February 1, 2001, request from Wisconsin to revise its State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for ozone. Wisconsin's submittal revises the 
state's regulations to control volatile organic compound (VOC) 
emissions from automobile refinishing operations. In addition, on July 
31, 2001, Wisconsin submitted a SIP revision that, among other things, 
renumbers a portion of the regulations submitted on February 1, 2001. 
EPA acted on the majority of the July 31, 2001 submittal in our 
approval

[[Page 64784]]

of the state's one-hour ozone attainment demonstration. We are 
addressing the renumbering portion of that submittal with this proposed 
action. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the state's SIP revision, as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for 
the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If we receive no 
adverse comments in response to that direct final rule, we plan to take 
no further action in relation to this proposed rule. If we receive 
significant adverse comments, in writing, which we have not addressed, 
we will withdraw the direct final rule and address all public comments 
received in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before January 14, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Send written comments to: Carlton Nash, Chief, Regulation 
Development Section, Air Programs Branch, (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 
Illinois, 60604.
