SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever “we”, “us”, or “our” is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information section is arranged as follows: I. What is the background for this action? II. What is EPA's analysis? III. What action is EPA taking? IV. Incorporation by Reference V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 
 
 I. What is the background for this action? On January 22, 2014, Indiana submitted a request to EPA to revise Title 326 of the Indiana Administration Code (IAC) Article 3—Monitoring Requirements, Rule 5—Continuous Monitoring of Emissions, Section 1—Applicability; Continuous Monitoring Requirements for Applicable Pollutants. In the current SIP, 326 IAC 3-5-1(b)(6), requires sewage sludge combustion units to continuously monitor total hydrocarbons, oxygen, moisture, and temperature. The SIP revision provides the sewage sludge combustion units the option to monitor carbon monoxide emissions as an alternate to monitoring total hydrocarbons. In doing so, sources must also comply with a 100 parts-per-million (ppm) total carbon monoxide limit. The continuous carbon monoxide monitoring requirements are specified at 326 IAC 3-5-1(b)(6)(A)(i) and (ii). The SIP revision is consistent with 40 CFR 503.40, the Federal Standards for the Incineration of Sewage Sludge. This Federal regulation, promulgated pursuant to the Clean Water Act, authorizes sewage sludge combustion sources to continuously monitor carbon monoxide as an alternative to continuously monitoring total hydrocarbons emissions. The regulation requires that the carbon monoxide monitoring be corrected for zero percent moisture and to seven percent oxygen. II. What is EPA's analysis? In its approval of 40 CFR 503.40, EPA determined that sewage sludge incinerators are expected to meet the 100 ppm total hydrocarbon monthly limit when the monthly average carbon monoxide concentration does not exceed 100 ppm. See 59 FR 9099 (February 25, 1994). The Federal rule requires that the continuous carbon monoxide monitor must be corrected for zero percent moisture and to seven percent oxygen. The revision to 326 IAC 3-5-1 is consistent with the monitoring requirements in 40 CFR 503.40. EPA finds the requested revision to be approvable. III. What action is EPA taking? EPA is approving a revision to 326 IAC 3-5-1 into the Indiana SIP. The SIP revision would authorize emission units that combust sewage sludge to continuously monitor carbon monoxide emissions, consistent with Federal requirements. We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this 
                    **Federal Register**
                     publication, we are publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse written comments are filed. This rule will be effective June 16, 2015 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written comments by May 18, 2015. If we receive such comments, we will withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed action. 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. If we do not receive any comments, this action will be effective June 16, 2015. IV. Incorporation by Reference In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Indiana Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally available electronically through 
                    *www.regulations.gov*
                     and/or in hard copy at the appropriate EPA office (see the 
                    **ADDRESSES**
                     section of this preamble for more information). VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For that reason, this action: Is not a “significant regulatory action” subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
                Does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 
                    *et seq.*);
                Is certified as not having a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 
                    *et seq.*);
                Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
                Does not have Federalism implications as specified inExecutive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
                Is not an economically significant regulatory action based on health or safety risks subject toExecutive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
                Is not a significant regulatory action subject toExecutive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
                Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent with the CAA; and
                Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, underExecutive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 
                    *et seq.,*
                     as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    .  A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it is published in the 
                    **Federal Register**
                    . 
                    ( print page 21176)
                     This action is not a “major rule” as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by June 16, 2015. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules section of this 
                    **Federal Register**
                    ,  rather than file an immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).) List of Subjects in 40 CFR Part 52 Environmental protection
