ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[R05-OAR-2004-IN-0004; FRL-7820-5]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to volatile organic 
compound (VOC) requirements for Eli Lilly and Company (Eli Lilly). This 
facility is in Marion County, Indiana. The Indiana Department of 
Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted a Commissioner's Order 
requesting the revision on February 11, 2004 as an amendment to the 
Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP).
    Eli Lilly operates a synthesized pharmaceutical manufacturing 
facility in Marion County. This SIP revision covers new and existing 
sources in Eli Lilly's Building 110 pilot plant. Eli Lilly is seeking 
an exemption from 326 Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) 8-5-3, control 
requirements for synthesized pharmaceutical manufacturing, under the 
site-specific reasonably available control technology (RACT) rule, 326 
IAC 8-1-5. Eli Lilly is seeking this exemption for reactors, filters, 
centrifuges, and vacuum dryers. Other Building 110 sources such as air 
dryers, in-process tanks, and storage tanks comply with 326 IAC 8-5-3. 
The total VOC annual emissions from Building 110 are limited to less 
than 10 tons per year (TPY).

DATES: The EPA must receive written comments by December 8, 2004.

IN-0004 by one of the following methods: Federal eRulemaking Portal:

consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through regulations.gov, or

send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going through 
regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be automatically captured and 
included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket and 
made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic comment, 
EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact information 
in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you submit. If 
EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties and cannot 
contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to consider your 
comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special characters, 
any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or viruses. For 
additional instructions on submitting comments, go to Section I of the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document.
    Docket: All documents in the docket are listed in the EDOCKET index 
at http://www.epa.gov/edocket. Although listed in the index, some 
information is not publicly available, i.e., Confidential Business 
Information (CBI) or other information whose disclosure is restricted 
by statute. Publicly available docket materials are available either 
electronically in EDOCKET or in hard copy at Environmental Protection 
Agency, Region 5, Air and Radiation Division, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. (We recommend that you telephone

through Friday, excluding legal holidays.

I. What Actions Are the EPA Taking Today?

    EPA is proposing to approve revisions to VOC requirements for the 
Eli Lilly pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Marion County, 
Indiana. The revisions include an exemption from the control 
requirements of 326 IAC 8-5-3 for reactors, centrifuges, filters, and 
vacuum dryers in Building 110, the pilot plant for Eli Lilly. This 
exemption can be approved under Indiana's site-specific RACT rule, 326 
IAC 8-1-5. Another revision is that Eli Lilly can now add research and 
development equipment to Building 110 without a new SIP revision. Eli 
Lilly will follow the appropriate RACT plan for any new equipment and 
keep the total annual VOC limit for Building 110 to less than 10 TPY.

II. General Information

What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
EDOCKET, regulations.gov, or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of 
the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk 
or CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM 
as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as 
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments, 
remember to:
