ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to

approve revisions to particulate matter

emissions regulations for Illinois Cereal

Mills, Incorporated (Illinois Cereal

Mills). This facility is located in Marion

County, Indiana. The Indiana

Department of Environmental

Management (IDEM) submitted the

revised regulations on August 2, 2000 as

an amendment to its State

I. What Actions Are EPA Taking

Today?

The EPA is proposing to approve

revisions to the total suspended

particulate emissions regulations for

Illinois Cereal Mills in Marion County,

Indiana. IDEM submitted the revised

regulation on August 2, 2000 as an

amendment to its SIP.

The revisions are the relaxation of one

limit for a boiler and the tightening of

one other limit for the head house

portion of a grain elevator. These SIP

revisions result in no change in the

overall TSP emissions.

[LA40–1–7338b; FRL–6988–5]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plan Louisiana;

Nonattainment Major Stationary

Source Revision

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: In this action, EPA is

proposing to approve a revision to the

Louisiana State Implementation Plan

(SIP), relating to ‘‘Nonattainment New

Source Review Procedures.’’ This

revision was submitted on July 25, 1997,

by the Governor of Louisiana to EPA for

approval. This revision removes a

provision from the State’s regulations,

Title 33 of the Louisiana Administrative

Code, chapter 5, section 504, that

treated nitrogen oxides ( NOX) as

precursors to ozone in ozone

nonattainment areas. This makes the

State regulation consistent with earlier

actions by EPA that exempted NOX as

an ozone precursor in the Baton Rouge

and Lake Charles nonattainment areas.

In addition, this regulation also contains

several administrative revisions that are

non-substantive in nature and do not

alter the meaning of the rule (such as

corrections of capitalization errors).

In the ‘‘Rules and Regulations’’

section of this Federal Register, EPA is

approving the State’s SIP revision as a

direct final rule without prior proposal

because EPA views this as a

noncontroversial amendment and

anticipates no adverse comment. The

EPA has explained reasons for this

approval in the preamble to the direct

final rule. If EPA receives no relevant

adverse comment, EPA will take no

further action on this proposed rule. If

EPA receives relevant adverse comment,

EPA will withdraw the direct final rule

and it will not take effect. In that event,

EPA will address all relevant public

comments in a subsequent final rule

based on this proposed rule. In either

event, EPA will not institute a second

comment period on this action. Any

parties interested in commenting must

do so at this time.

DATES: Written comments must be

received by July 2, 2001.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be addressed to Ms. Jole C. Luehrs,

Chief, Air Permits Section (6PD–R),

Attention: Ms. Wendy Jacques, at the

EPA Region 6 office listed below. Copies
