II. What Action Is EPA Taking Today?

    The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the particulate matter

2004, Indiana submitted a request for PM and SO2 emissions 
limit revisions as an amendment to its SIP. Pfizer is replacing three 
boilers and removing two additional boilers. Indiana requested deleting 
the limits for all five boilers. The new boiler is subject to the new 
source performance standard limits for PM and SO2 emissions 
which are not being revised. The requested SIP revisions consist of the 
limit deletions only. There will be no increase in PM or SO2 
emissions from the requested revisions. Pfizer operates a medicinal
