Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Revisions to NOX SIP Call and CAIR 
Rules

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve under the Clean Air Act (CAA) a request from the Indiana 
Department of Environmental Management to revise the Indiana State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) to incorporate the following: A new rule 
concerning nitrogen oxide (NOX) emissions for the ozone 
season from Electric Generating Units (EGUs) and large non-EGUs; 
revisions concerning NOX emission rate limits for specific 
source categories; the repeal of the NOX Budget Trading 
Program; and the repeal of the Clean Air Interstate Rule NOX 
ozone season trading program. This SIP revision would ensure continued 
compliance by EGUs and large non-EGUs with the requirements of the 
NOX SIP Call.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before March 23, 2020.

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 relevant adverse comments are received in response to this 
rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives such 
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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.
