ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Federal Register Volume 80, Issue 128 (July 6, 2015)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve an Early Progress Plan and motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) for volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen for Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Wisconsin submitted an Early Progress Plan for Sheboygan County on January 16, 2015. This submittal was developed to establish MVEBs for the Sheboygan 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. This approval of the Early Progress Plan for the Sheboygan 8-hour ozone area is based on EPA's determination that Wisconsin has demonstrated that the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision containing these MVEBs, when considered with the emissions from all sources, shows some progress toward attainment from the 2011 base year through a 2015 target year.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to

(MVEBs) for volatile organic compounds and oxides of nitrogen for 
Sheboygan County, Wisconsin. Wisconsin submitted an Early Progress Plan 
for Sheboygan County on January 16, 2015. This submittal was developed 
to establish MVEBs for the Sheboygan 8-hour ozone nonattainment area. 
This approval of the Early Progress Plan for the Sheboygan 8-hour ozone 
area is based on EPA's determination that Wisconsin has demonstrated

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency 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, which is located in the Rules section of this Federal Register. 
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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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.

    Dated: June 19, 2015.

Regional Administrator, Region 5.
