ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[IN66-1-7289b; FRL-5439-7]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan; Indiana; 
Clean Fuel Fleet Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is proposing 
to approve a revision to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
for the purpose of establishing a Clean-Fuel Fleet Program. Indiana 
submitted the SIP revision request on December 20, 1995, and February 
14, 1996, to satisfy a federal mandate, found in the Clean Air Act, 
requiring certain states to establish Clean-Fuel Fleet Programs.

[[Page 11597]]
This revision establishes and requires the implementation of an Clean-
Fuel Fleet Program in Lake and Porter Counties ozone nonattainment 
area. 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments 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. 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 
April 22, 1996.

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mark J. Palermo, Regulation 
Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago,
