ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IN137-1b; FRL-7003-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to particulate matter 
(PM) emissions regulations for Cerestar USA, Inc. (Cerestar). Cerestar 
is located in Lake County, Indiana. The Indiana Department of 
Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted the revised regulations on 
February 16, 2001, as amendments to its State Implementation Plan 
(SIP). The revisions include the elimination of 18 emission points, the 
addition of 39 new emission points, and a change in the way the short 
term emission limits are expressed (from pounds of particulate matter 
per ton of product to grains per dry standard cubic foot). The revision 
also changes the name of the facility listed in the rules from American 
Maize Products (AMAIZO) to Cerestar USA, Inc. These SIP revisions 
result in an overall decrease in allowed PM emissions of about 48 tons 
per year (tpy). An air quality modeling analysis conducted by IDEM 
shows that this SIP revision will not have an adverse effect on PM air 
quality.

DATES: EPA must receive written comments on this proposed rule by 
August 17, 2001.

ADDRESSES: You should mail written comments 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.
    You may inspect copies of the State submittal and EPA's analysis of 
it at: Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), 
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Matthew Rau, Environmental Engineer, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard,
