ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IN145-1b; FRL-7398-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to particulate 
matter (PM) emissions regulations for Union Tank Car of Lake County, 
Indiana. The Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) 
submitted the revised regulations on April 30, 2002 and September 6, 
2002 as an amendment to its State Implementation Plan (SIP). The 
revisions consist of relaxing the PM limits for one emissions unit; 
however, actual emissions will not increase, and the PM National 
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) should be protected. EPA is 
approving revisions for Union Tank Car because complying with the 
current limits is infeasible, and because the revisions should not harm 
air quality.

DATES: The EPA must receive written comments on this proposed rule by 
December 20, 2002.

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 Indiana's submittal 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: Matt Rau, Environmental Engineer, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S.
