[IN66-1-7289b; FRL-5439-7]

Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plan; Indiana;

Clean Fuel Fleet Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) is proposing

to approve a revision to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP)

for the purpose of establishing a Clean-Fuel Fleet Program. Indiana

submitted the SIP revision request on December 20, 1995, and February

14, 1996, to satisfy a federal mandate, found in the Clean Air Act,

requiring certain states to establish Clean-Fuel Fleet Programs.

[[Page 11597]]

This revision establishes and requires the implementation of an Clean-

Fuel Fleet Program in Lake and Porter Counties ozone nonattainment

area. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is

approving this action as a direct final rule without prior proposal

because USEPA views this as a noncontroversial action 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the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments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. 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

April 22, 1996.

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

Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J),

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West Jackson

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

Development Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency,
