ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IN114-1b; FRL-6501-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan; Indiana 
Volatile Organic Compound Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve the August 18, 1999, Indiana State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision request concerning amendments to 
Indiana's automobile refinishing rules for Lake, Porter, Clark, and 
Floyd Counties, and new rules for Stage I gasoline vapor recovery and 
automobile refinishing spray-gun requirements for Vanderburgh County.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the State's request as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and 
anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for approving the 
State's request is set forth in the direct final rule. The direct final 
rule will become effective without further notice unless the Agency 
receives relevant adverse written comment on this action. Should the 
Agency receive such comment, it will publish a final rule informing the 
public that the direct final rule will not take effect and such public 
comment received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on 
this proposed rule. If no adverse written comments are received, the 
direct final rule will take effect on the date stated in that document 
and no further activity will be taken on this proposed rule. EPA does 
not plan to institute a second comment period on this action. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before January 19, 2000.

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