ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IN54-1b; FRL-5819-4]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the following as revisions to the 
Indiana State Implementation (SIP) plan: a Rate-Of-Progress (ROP) plan 
to reduce volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions in Clark and Floyd 
Counties by 15 percent (%) by November 15, 1996; 1996 corrections to 
Clark and Floyd Counties' 1990 base year emission inventory (to 
establish an accurate base line for the 15% ROP plan); construction 
permits requiring VOC emission control at Rhodes, Incorporated in 
Charlestown, Clark County; and a ridesharing program affecting 
commuters in Clark and Floyd 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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 
June 6, 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,
