ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IN67-1b; FRL-5827-4]


Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: In this action, EPA is proposing to approve a State

[[Page 30291]]

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision request submitted by Indiana on 
August 26, 1996, which requires oxides of nitrogen (NOx) 
Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for portland cement 
kilns, electric utility boilers, and industrial, commercial, or 
institutional (ICI) boilers in Clark and Floyd Counties. In addition, 
EPA is proposing to approve an April 30, 1997, negative declaration 
from Indiana certifying that, to the best of the State's knowledge, 
there are no remaining major sources of NOx in Clark and 
Floyd Counties which need RACT rules. 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EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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 
July 3, 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, IL 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, IL 60604.
