Region 5] 

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; RACM 

Determination for Indiana Portion of 

the Cincinnati-Hamilton 1997 Annual 

PM2.5 Nonattainment Area 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

the reasonably available control 

measures (RACM) and reasonably 

available control technology (RACT) 

analysis that Indiana submitted as part 

of their earlier attainment plan for the 

1997 fine particulate matter (PM2.5) 

standard, in accordance with Indiana’s 

request dated February 11, 2016. The 

RACM/RACT analysis addresses RACM 

and RACT for the Indiana portion of the 

Cincinnati-Hamilton nonattainment area 

for the 1997 PM2.5 standard. EPA is not 

proposing to act on the portions of the 

state implementation plan (SIP) revision 

that are unrelated to RACM/RACT. 

Other portions of the attainment plan 

have either been addressed or will be 

addressed in future rulemaking actions. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 26, 2016.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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 adverse comments are 

received in response to this rule, no 

further activity is contemplated. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 

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 and Regulations section of 

this Federal Register.
