ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[IN63-1b; FRL-5662-9]


Indiana State Implementation Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision request submitted by the State of Indiana on November 
21, 1995, and February 14, 1996, which consist of rules for the control 
of volatile organic liquid (VOL) storage operations in Clark, Floyd, 
Lake, and Porter Counties. This rule is part of the State's 15 percent 
(%) Rate of Progress (ROP) plan control strategies for Volatile Organic 
Compounds (VOC) emissions in Clark, Floyd, Lake, and Porter Counties. 
In addition, this rule is intended to satisfy Clean Air Act (Act) 
requirements to adopt VOC Reasonably Available Control Technology 
(RACT) rules for non-Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) source 
categories in Clark, Floyd, Lake, and Porter Counties. 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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. 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 
February 18, 1997.

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

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

    Dated: November 25, 1996.
