SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a request submitted by the Ohio

revise the Ohio State Implementation Plan (SIP) under the Clean Air
Act. The State has submitted new volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
control rules for approval under Chapter 3745-112 of the Ohio
Administrative Code (OAC). The rules include OAC 3745-112-01 to OAC
3745-112-08 and are intended to assist the State in achieving and/or
maintaining the national 8-hour ground level ozone standard through the
regulation of VOCs in consumer products.

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 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. If we do not receive any adverse comments in response to this
rule, we do not contemplate taking any further action. If EPA receives
adverse comments, we will withdraw the direct final rule, and will
address all public comments 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 Final Rules section of this Federal Register.
Dated: July 28, 2009.
