to address emission inventory requirements for the Sheboygan, Wisconsin
nonattainment area and the Wisconsin portion of the Chicago-Naperville,
Illinois-Indiana-Wisconsin (IL-IN-WI) nonattainment area under the 2008
ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). EPA is proposing

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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 Federal Register.
Dated: February 22, 2016.
Robert A. Kaplan,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
