ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[IN48-1-6761b; FRL-5279-2]


Approval and Promulgation of 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 for its Federally 
Enforceable State Operating Permits (FESOP) regulation and an Enhanced 
New Source Review (NSR) regulation. The USEPA made a finding of 
completeness in a letter dated November 25, 1994. The USEPA proposes to 
approve Indiana's FESOP regulation as an acceptable mechanism for 
establishing federally enforceable State operating permits for the 
purpose of creating 

[[Page 43100]]
federally enforceable limitations on the potential to emit of certain 
pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act. The USEPA proposes to 
approve Indiana's Enhanced NSR regulation as an acceptable mechanism to 
merge requirements of NSR and title V into one permitting process. 
Sources subject to the State construction permit rule will have the 
opportunity to satisfy its operating permit requirements by opting into 
this preconstruction rule. 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receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and 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. The USEPA will not institute a second 
comment period on this notice. Any parties interested in commenting on 
this notice should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
September 18, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: J. Elmer Bortzer, 
Chief, Regulatory Development Section, Regulatory Development Branch 
(AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, 77 West 
Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

available for inspection at: Regulatory Development Section, Regulatory 
Development Branch (AR-18J), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
