ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[R05-OAR-2005-IN-0001; FRL-7894-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to volatile organic 
compound (VOC) requirements for Transwheel Corporation (Transwheel) of 
Huntington County, Indiana. Transwheel owns and operates an aluminum 
wheel reprocessing plant at which it performs cold cleaner degreasing 
operations. On December 22, 2004, the Indiana Department of 
Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted a Commissioner's Order 
containing the revised requirements, and requested that EPA approve it 
as an amendment to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP). The 
December 22, 2004, submission supplements a November 8, 2001, 
submission. IDEM is seeking EPA approval of an ``equivalent control 
device'' for Transwheel's degreasing operations, under 326 Indiana 
Administrative Code (IAC) 8-3-5 (a)(5)(C).

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before May 12, 2005.

any defects or viruses. For additional instructions on submitting 
comments, go to Section I of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of

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

profanity or personal threats.
    h. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline 
identified.

II. What Action Is EPA Taking Today?

    The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to Indiana's VOC SIP for 
Transwheel. The company has requested that it be permitted to use an 
oil cover as an equivalent control device for its cold cleaner 
degreaser, under 326 IAC 8-3-5(a)(5)(C). The oil cover is a layer of 
mineral oil several inches thick floating over the cleaning solvent in 
a dip tank. The solvent is a mixture of two water miscible compounds, 
NMP and MEA. The oil cover controls VOC emissions from the dip tank by 
reducing solvent evaporation.

III. Where Can I Find More Information About This Proposal and the 
Corresponding Direct Final Rule?

    For additional information, see the Direct Final Rule which is 
located in the Rules section of this Federal Register. Copies of the 
request and the EPA's analysis are available electronically at RME or 
in hard copy at the above address. Please telephone Matt Rau at (312) 
886-6524 before visiting the Region 5 Office.
