Quality Implementation Plans; Indiana; 

Redesignation of the Indianapolis Area 

to Attainment of the 1997 Annual 

Standard for Fine Particulate Matter 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

Indiana’s request to redesignate the 

Indianapolis, Indiana nonattainment 

area (Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, 

Marion, and Morgan Counties) to 

attainment for the 1997 annual National 

Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS 

or standard) for fine particulate matter 

(PM2.5), because the request meets the 

statutory requirements for redesignation 

under the Clean Air Act (CAA). The 

Indiana Department of Environmental 

Management (IDEM) submitted this 

request on October 20, 2009, and 

supplemented it on May 31, 2011. EPA’s 

proposed approval involves several 

additional related actions. EPA is 

proposing to make a determination that 

the Indianapolis area has attained the 

1997 annual PM2.5 standard. EPA is 

proposing to approve, as a revision to 

the Indiana State Implementation Plan 

(SIP), the State’s plan for maintaining 

the 1997 annual PM2.5 NAAQS through 

mstockstill on DSK7SPTVN1PROD with PROPOSALS

59600 Federal Register / Vol. 76, No. 187 / Tuesday, September 27, 2011 / Proposed Rules 

2025 in the area. EPA is proposing to 

approve the 2006 emissions inventory 

for the Indianapolis area as meeting the 

comprehensive emissions inventory 

requirement of the CAA. Finally, EPA 

finds adequate and is proposing to 

approve Indiana’s Nitrogen Oxides 

(NOX) and PM2.5 Motor Vehicle 

Emission Budgets (MVEBs) for 2015 and 

2025 for the Indianapolis area.

or before October 27, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

Final Rules section of this Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the 

determination of attainment, 

redesignation, and SIP as a direct final 

rule without prior proposal because the 

Agency 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 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 section of this Federal 

Register.

Approval and Promulgation of Air

Redesignation of Lake and Porter 

Counties to Attainment of the Fine 

Particulate Matter Standard 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: In an April 3, 2008, submittal, 

supplemented on March 6, 2009, May 

26, 2011, and July 20, 2011, the Indiana 

Department of Environmental 

Management (IDEM) requested 

redesignation of the Lake and Porter 

Counties, Indiana portion (Lake and 

Porter Counties) of the Chicago-GaryLake County, Illinos-Indiana (IL–IN) 

nonattainment area (Greater Chicago 

nonattainment area) to attainment of the 

1997 annual fine particulate matter 

(PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality 

Standard (NAAQS or standard). EPA is 

proposing to approve the redesignation 

request for Lake and Porter Counties, 

along with related Indiana State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revisions, 

including the State’s plan for 

maintaining attainment of the PM2.5

standard in this area through 2025, 

because the request meets the statutory 

requirements for redesignation under 

the Clean Air Act (CAA). EPA is also 

proposing to approve Indiana’s 2025 

Nitrogen Oxides (NOX) and PM2.5 Motor 

Vehicle Emission Budgets (MVEBs) for
