ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IN 143-1b; FRL-7249-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
approves into the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions to 
the Indiana Administrative Code. These regulatory updates change rule 
language concerning Indiana's permitting programs. Included in this 
submittal is a provision to assure that applicable requirements exist 
independently of title V permits. EPA is proposing to approve these 
rules because they are consistent with EPA's regulations governing 
State permit programs.
    In a separate action in the ``Rules and Regulations'' section of 
this Federal Register, EPA is approving these revisions into the State 
Implementation Plan as a direct final rule without prior proposal 
because EPA views this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipates 
no adverse comment. The EPA has explained reasons for this approval in 
the preamble to the direct final rule. If EPA receives no relevant 
adverse written comments, EPA will take no further action on this 
proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse written comment, we will publish 
a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register 
and inform the public that the rule will not take effect. In that 
event, EPA will address all relevant public comments in a subsequent 
final rule based on this proposed rule. In either event, EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting must do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received by September 12, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed to Ms. Pamela Blakley, 
Chief, Permits and Grants Section (IL/IN/OH), Attention: Mr. Sam 
Portanova, at the EPA Region 5 office listed below. Copies of documents 
relevant to this action are available for public inspection during 
normal business hours at the following location: Permits and Grants 
Section (IL/IN/OH), Air Programs Branch, (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental 
Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 
Illinois, 60604. Anyone wanting to examine these documents should make
