ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[IN65-1-7288b; FRL-5613-5]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Indiana State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on November 21, 1995, and February
14, 1996, establishing regulations for wood furniture coating
operations in Clark, Floyd, Lake, and Porter Counties, as part of Clark
and Floyd Counties' 15 percent
[[Page 55943]]
(%) Reasonable Further Progress control measures for Volatile Organic
Compound emission, and the State's requirement to develop post-1990
Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) Reasonably Available Control
Technology (RACT) rules for the 4 counties. These regulations require
wood furniture coating facilities which have the potential to emit at
least 25 tons of VOC per year to use coatings which meet a certain VOC
content limit or add on controls that are capable of achieving an
equivalent reduction. In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, the EPA is approving this action as a direct final rule
without prior proposal because EPA 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 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and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 the proposed rule. EPA 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
November 29, 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.
