ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[IN15-2-6326B; FRL-5008-6]

 

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation 
of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA is proposing to approve requests to redesignate 
Indiana marginal ozone nonattainment areas to attainment. The USEPA is 
also proposing to approve accompanying maintenance plans as State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions. The redesignation requests and 
maintenance plans were submitted by the Indiana Department of 
Environmental Management (IDEM) for the following ozone nonattainment 
areas: St. Joseph and Elkhart, Vanderburgh and Marion Counties. The 
State has met the requirements for redesignation contained in the Clean 
Air Act, as amended in 1990. In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, the USEPA is approving the State's redesignation requests and 
the supporting maintenance plans without prior proposal because USEPA 
views these as noncontroversial revisions and anticipates no adverse 
comments. A detailed rationale for the approvals is set forth in the 
direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to 
that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation 
to this proposed rule. If USEPA receives adverse comments, the direct 
final rule will be withdrawn and the public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. A 
second comment period on this action will not be held. Parties 
interested in commenting on this notice should do so at this time. 
Adverse comments received concerning a specific geographic area, St. 
Joseph and Elkhart, Vanderburgh or Marion Counties, will only affect 
the final rule as it pertains to that area and only the portion of the 
final rule concerning the area receiving adverse comments will be 
withdrawn.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
August 8, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Regulation Development Branch 
(AR18-J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West 
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    Copies of the State submittal and USEPA's analysis of it are 
available for inspection at: Regulation Development Section, Regulation 
Development Branch (AR18-J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Edward Doty, Environmental Scientist, 
Regulation Development Section, Regulation Development Branch (AR18-J),
