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.

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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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
[[Page 10128]]
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: January 30, 2020.
