[EPA-R05-OAR-2015-0724; FRL-9950-51-Region 5]


Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Abengoa Bioenergy of Indiana, 
Commissioner's Order

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve a revision to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
submitted by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) 
on October 16, 2015. The submittal consists of an order issued by the 
Commissioner of IDEM (Commissioner's Order No. 2015-01) approving 
alternative control technology requirements for Abengoa Bioenergy of 
Indiana (Abengoa). These requirements include the use of a carbon 
adsorption/absorption hydrocarbon vapor recovery system with a minimum 
overall control efficiency of 98% to control volatile organic compound 
(VOC) emissions from the ethanol loading racks at Abengoa. A continuous 
emissions monitoring system (CEMS) must be used to monitor the carbon 
adsorption/absorption hydrocarbon vapor recovery system for 
breakthrough of VOC emissions.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 12, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2015-0724, at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to 
[email protected]. For comments submitted at Regulations.gov, 
follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either 
manner of submission, EPA may publish any comment received to its 
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you 
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia 
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written 
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and 
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person 
identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. For the full 
EPA public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia 
submissions, and general guidance on making effective comments, please

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886-6832, 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal and anticipates no adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no 
further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 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. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. 
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse

comment. For additional information, see the direct final rule which is 
located in the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: August 1, 2016.
