Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana; Plan 
for Controlling Emissions From Existing Commercial and Industrial Solid 
Waste Incinerators

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve, through direct final 
procedure,

[[Page 35192]]

the Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incineration plan submitted 
by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM). The 
implementation plan affects selected incineration units and was 
submitted to EPA in a letter from Janet G. McCabe, IDEM Assistant 
Commissioner on December 30, 2002, following the required public 
process. The intent of Indiana's action is to satisfy a Federal 
requirement to develop a plan as protective as the emission guideline 
contained in Subpart DDDD, to control emissions from these categories 
of sources in order to protect public health and reduce exposure to air 
pollution including several hazardous pollutants. EPA is approving this 
plan because it fulfills the requirements of sections 111 and 129 of 
the Clean Air Act.
    In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the State plan for CISWI as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because we view this action as noncontroversial and anticipate 
no adverse comments. If no written adverse comments are received in 
response to the direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated 
in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives meaningful written 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 
public comments 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. Any party interested in commenting on this action should do so at 
this time.

DATES: Comments on this action must be received by July 14, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), 
USEPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    A copy of the Indiana request for revision to the State plan is 
available for inspection at the above address.

Engineer, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), 
USEPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604,
