ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:

and omissions introduced when the rule
was last revised; remove facilities and
units that have been permanently shut
down; update the names of certain
subject facilities; and modify certain
source applicability exclusions. Sources
controlled by this rule are not covered
by existing Volatile Organic Compound
(VOC) Reasonably Available Control
Technology (RACT) rules or other
organic material emission control rules
in Ohio’s Administrative Code.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before August 10, 2017.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the
Final Rules section of this issue of the
Federal Register, EPA is approving
Ohio’s SIP revisions as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because
EPA views this as a noncontroversial
submittal and anticipates no adverse
comments. A detailed rationale for the
approval is set forth in the direct final
rule. If no adverse comments are
received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. If EPA
receives adverse comments, the direct
final rule will be withdrawn and all
public comments received will be
addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this proposed rule. EPA will
not institute a second comment period.
Any parties interested in commenting
on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that, if EPA receives adverse
comment on an amendment, paragraph,
or section of this rule and if that
provision may be severed from the
remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt
as final those provisions of the rule that
are not the subject of an adverse
comment. For additional information,
see the direct final rule, which is
located in the Rules section of this issue
of the Federal Register.

Proposed rule.
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submission from the Illinois
Environmental Protection Agency
(IEPA) dated May 9, 2017. The
submission provides IEPA’s certification
that its existing emission statement
program, titled ‘‘Annual Emissions
Report’’, remains in effect and satisfies
the Clean Air Act (CAA) emissions
statement requirement for the Illinois
portions of the Chicago-Naperville,
Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin and St.
Louis-St. Charles-Farmington, MissouriIllinois nonattainment areas under the
2008 ozone National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS). Under the
CAA, states’ SIPs must require
stationary sources in ozone
nonattainment areas classified as
marginal or above to annually report
emissions of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOC) and Oxides of
Nitrogen (NOX).
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before August 10, 2017.

Jkt 241001
ACTION:
Proposed rule.
EPA is proposing to amend a
final rule that published in the Federal
Register on December 12, 2016
concerning formaldehyde emission
standards for composite wood products.
The proposed amendment would allow
compliant composite wood products
and finished goods that contain
compliant composite wood products
that were manufactured prior to
December 12, 2017 to be labeled as
Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA)
Title VI compliant. This means that
regulated composite wood products and
finished goods that meet the required
formaldehyde emissions standards
could be voluntarily labeled as
compliant as soon as compliance can be
achieved. This would enhance
regulatory flexibility and facilitate a
smoother supply chain transition to
compliance with the rule’s broader
requirements, as well as promote lower
formaldehyde emitting products
entering commerce earlier than under
the rule as originally published. EPA
believes that the proposed amendment
is non-controversial and does not expect
to receive any adverse comments.
Therefore, in addition to this Notice of
Proposed Rulemaking, elsewhere in this
issue of the Federal Register, EPA is
promulgating the amendment as a direct
final rule.
DATES: Written comments must be
received by July 26, 2017. Comments
postmarked after the close of the
comment period will be stamped ‘‘late’’
and may or may not be considered by
the Agency.
