ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[R05-OAR-2004-IN-0002; FRL-7826-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve Indiana's February 10, 2004, 
and April 12, 2004, submittal of a revision to its existing emission 
reporting rule to be consistent with the emission statement program 
requirements for stationary sources in the Clean Air Act (CAA). On 
April 12, 2004, Indiana submitted its final rule as published in the 
Indiana Register. Indiana held a public hearing on the submittal on 
December 3, 2003. EPA is approving the revision to the emission 
reporting rule to satisfy the emission statement program requirements 
in the CAA.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal, because EPA views this as a noncontroversial revision and 
anticipate 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 this proposed rule, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public 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 
this proposed rule. EPA will not institute a second comment period on 
this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should 
do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before November 29, 
2004.

    Instructions: Direct your comments to Regional Material in EDocket

will be included in the public docket without change, including any 
personal information provided, unless the comment includes information

information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise protected through

If you send an e-mail comment directly to EPA without going through RME 
or regulations.gov, your e-mail address will be automatically captured 
and included as part of the comment that is placed in the public docket 
and made available on the Internet. If you submit an electronic 
comment, EPA recommends that you include your name and other contact 
information in the body of your comment and with any disk or CD-ROM you 
submit. If EPA cannot read your comment due to technical difficulties 
and cannot contact you for clarification, EPA may not be able to 
consider your comment. Electronic files should avoid the use of special 
characters, any form of encryption, and be free of any defects or 
viruses. For additional instructions on submitting comments, go to 
Section I of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this document.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
Regional Material in Edocket (RME) index at http://www.epa.gov/edocket. 
Although listed in the index, some information is not publicly

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. General Information

A. Does This Action Apply to Me?

    This rulemaking is intended to ensure that rule 326 IAC 2-6, 
emission reporting, satisfies the Federal requirements of section 
182(a)(3)(B) for an emission statement program in Indiana.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
EDOCKET, regulations.gov or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of the 
information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk or 
CD-ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD-ROM as 
CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD-ROM the 
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one 
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as 
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information 
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket. 
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with 
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
    2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. When submitting comments, 
remember to:
    1. Identify the rulemaking by docket number and other identifying 
information (subject heading, Federal Register date and page number).
    2. Follow directions--The agency may ask you to respond to specific 
questions or organize comments by referencing a Code of Federal 
Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
    3. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and 
substitute language for your requested changes.
    4. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information 
and/or data that you used.
    e. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you 
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be 
reproduced.
    f. Provide specific examples to illustrate your concerns, and 
suggest alternatives.
    g. Explain your views as clearly as possible, avoiding the use of 
profanity or personal threats.
    h. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline 
identified.
