ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IN40-1-6342B; FRL-5067-5]

Approval and Promulgation of a New Source Review Implementation

Plan; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to approve the State implementation plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of Indiana to satisfy Federal

requirements for an approvable nonattainment area new source review

(NSR) SIP. The USEPA is proposing to approve the recodified version of

the Indiana permitting rules to replace those in the existing SIP. The

USEPA is also proposing to remove references in the Code of Federal

Regulations to the construction ban imposed in Lake and Porter Counties

for failure to have an approved ozone plan since the Clean Air Act

Amendments of 1990 removed this ban. In the final rules section of this

Federal Register, the USEPA is approving these actions as a direct

final rule without prior proposal because USEPA views these as

noncontroversial actions 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 that direct

final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this

proposed rule. If USEPA 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be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 the proposed rule. USEPA

will not institute a second comment period on this notice. Any parties

interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before

November 7, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer,

Chief, Regulatory Development Section, Regulatory Development Branch

(AR18-J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West

Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
