ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2023-0190; FRL-12117-01-R5]


Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Ozone SIP Modifications Due to the 
Municipal Solid Waste Landfill Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve the Indiana Department of Environmental Management's request to 
repeal and replace portions of the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) 
for Lake, Porter, Clark, and Floyd Counties in Indiana. This new 
regulation includes Federal updates to municipal solid waste landfill 
rules with the incorporation by reference of the Federal plan for 
Municipal Solid Waste Landfills. EPA is proposing that this action is 
approvable because it is consistent with the EPA's Emission Guidelines 
for Municipal Solid Waste Landfills and is a SIP strengthening measure.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 16, 2024.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2023-0190 at https://www.regulations.gov or via email to

Confidential Business Information (CBI), Proprietary Business

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Katie Mullen, Air and Radiation 
Division (AR-18J), Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West 
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 353-3490,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is 
proposing to approve the Indiana Department of Environmental 
Management's request to repeal 326 Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) 8-
8 for Lake, Porter, Clark, and Floyd Counties in Indiana, and replace 
it with 326 IAC 8-8.2. In the ``Rules and Regulations'' 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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.

    Dated: August 7, 2024.

Regional Administrator, Region 5.
