ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IN57-1-7204b; FRL-5334-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to approve Indiana's August 25, 1995, 
request to ban residential open burning in Clark, Floyd, Lake, and 
Porter Counties as part of the State's 15 percent Rate of Progress Plan 
control measures for Volatile Organic Compounds emissions. In the final 
rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is approving this 
action as a direct final rule without prior proposal because USEPA 
views this as a noncontroversial action 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 
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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. USEPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
March 4, 1996.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Regulation Development Branch 
(AR-18J), 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 (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: David Pohlman, Regulation Development 
Section, Regulation Development Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 
Illinois 60604, (312) 886-3299.

final rule published in the rules section of this Federal Register.
