ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[R05-OAR-2005-IN-0007; FRL-7999-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA is approving Indiana's April 8, 2005, submittal which 
revises existing sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) emission limits for 
sources in Dearborn County, makes minor corrections removing obsolete 
rule language, and updates information for sources listed in the rule. 
These revisions will not result in an increase in SO<INF>2</INF> 
emissions in Dearborn County because no emission limits were increased.

DATES: This rule is effective on January 24, 2006, unless EPA receives 
adverse written comments by December 27, 2005. If EPA receives adverse 
comments, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the rule in the 
Federal Register and inform the public that the rule will not take 
effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit comments, identified by Regional Material in EDocket 
(RME) ID No. R05-OAR-2005-IN-0007, by one of the following methods:
    Federal eRulemaking Portal: http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the 
on-line instructions for submitting comments.

of your comment. 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 
the related proposed rule which is published in the Proposed Rules 
section of this Federal Register.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
RME index at http://docket.epa.gov/rmepub/. Although listed in the 
index, some information is not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Publicly 
available docket materials are available either electronically in RME 
or in hard copy at Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Air and 
Radiation Division, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.

    2. Electronic Access. You may access this Federal Register document 
electronically through the regulations.gov Web site located at http://www.regulations.gov where you can find, review, and submit comments on 
Federal rules that have been published in the Federal Register, the 
Government's legal newspaper, and that are open for comment.
    For public commenters, it is important to note that EPA's policy is 
that public comments, whether submitted electronically or in paper, 
will be made available for public viewing at the EPA Regional Office, 
as EPA receives them and without change, unless the comment contains 
copyrighted material, CBI, or other information whose disclosure is 
restricted by statute. When EPA identifies a comment containing 
copyrighted material, EPA will provide a reference to that material in 
the version of the comment that is placed in the official public 
rulemaking file. The entire printed comment, including the copyrighted 
material, will be available at the Regional Office for public 
inspection.

C. How and to Whom Do I Submit Comments?

    You may submit comments electronically, by mail, or through hand 
delivery/courier. To ensure proper receipt by EPA, identify the 
appropriate rulemaking identification number by including the text 
``Public comment on proposed rulemaking Region 5 Air Docket R05-OAR-
2005-IN-0007'' in the subject line on the first page of your comment. 
Please ensure that your comments are submitted within the specified 
comment period. Comments received after the close of the comment period 
will be marked ``late.'' EPA is not required to consider these late 
comments.
    For detailed instructions on submitting public comments and on what 
to consider as you prepare your comments see the ADDRESSES section and 
the section I General Information of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION 
section of the related proposed rule which is published in the Proposed 
Rules section of this Federal Register.

II. What Is EPA Approving?

    EPA is approving revisions to Indiana's SO<INF>2</INF> State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) for specified existing stationary sources 
located in Dearborn County, Indiana. The SIP revisions amend Title 326 
of the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC), section 7-4-13, by removing 
obsolete rule language for the Indiana Michigan Power Tanners Creek 
Station. The SIP revision also updates information for other companies 
listed in 326 IAC 7-4-13, including adding source identification 
numbers. Indiana held public hearings on these revisions on May 5, 2004 
and October 6, 2004.

III. What Are the Changes From the Current Rule?

    Indiana's SO<INF>2</INF> emission limits for Dearborn County are 
contained in 326 IAC 7-4-13. The current SO<INF>2</INF> emission 
limitations in 326 IAC 7-4-13 are based on air quality modeling used by 
the State when EPA approved the SIP in 1987. The SIP revision amends 
326 IAC 7-4-13, as described below.

A. Indiana Michigan Power Tanners Creek Station

    The SIP revision removes obsolete rule language that included 
interim requirements restricting the SO<INF>2</INF> emission limits for 
the Indiana Michigan Power Tanners Creek Station, Unit 4. These interim 
requirements are no longer necessary, and have been deleted; the rule 
limits Unit 4 to an SO<INF>2</INF> emission limit of five and twenty-
four hundredths (5.24) pounds per MMBTU since August 1, 1991. This 
revision reflects these changes. This SIP revision also adds source 
identification number, No. 00002, to the Indiana Michigan Power Tanners 
Creek Station.

B. Schenley Distillers, Inc.

    Schenley Distillers, Inc. closed in 1998 and has been removed from 
the rule.

C. Joseph E. Seagram and Sons, Inc.

    The revision changes the name from Joseph E. Seagram and Sons, Inc. 
to Pernod Ricard USA, Seagram Lawrenceburg Distillery. The company has 
removed one boiler listed in the current rule, and renamed the 
remaining boiler. This revision reflects this change. The revision also 
adds source identification number, No. 00005, to the Pernod Ricard USA, 
Seagram Lawrenceburg Distillery.

D. Diamond Thatcher Glass

    The furnaces formerly owned by Diamond Thatcher Glass are owned by 
Anchor Glass Container Corporation, and have been renamed as such. This 
revision reflects this change. The revision also adds source 
identification number, No. 00007, to the Anchor Glass Container 
Corporation.

IV. What Action Is EPA Taking Today?

    EPA is approving revisions to 326 IAC 7-4-13, which contains the 
SO<INF>2</INF> emission limitations for existing stationary sources 
located in Dearborn County, Indiana. The SIP revision amends 326 IAC 7-
4-13, by removing obsolete rule language for the Indiana Michigan Power 
Tanners Creek Station, and by making minor revisions for other 
companies listed in 326 IAC 7-4-13, including adding source 
identification numbers.
    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 January 24, 
2006 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written 
comments by December 27, 2005. 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. The EPA will not institute a second 
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time. If we do not receive any comments, this 
action will be effective January 24, 2006.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Executive Order 12866; Regulatory Planning and Review

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not 
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget.

Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use

    Because it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866 or a ``significant energy action,'' this action 
is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning 
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or 
Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This action merely approves state law as meeting Federal 
requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those 
imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that 
this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
601 et seq.).

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Because this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state 
law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that 
required by state law, it 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).

Executive Order 13175: Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal 
Governments

    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will 
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on 
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or 
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal 
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (59 
FR 22951, November 9, 2000).

Executive Order 13132: Federalism

    This action also does not have Federalism implications because it 
does not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the 
relationship between the national government and the states, or on the 
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of 
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 
10, 1999). This action merely approves a state rule implementing a 
Federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or the 
distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air 
Act.

Executive Order 13045: Protection of Children From Environmental Health 
and Safety Risks

    This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 ``Protection 
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 
19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.

National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state 
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In 
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the 
state to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be 
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP 
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise 
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements 
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose an information collection burden under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.).

Congressional Review Act

    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 rule 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. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court 
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by January 24, 2006. Filing a 
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule 
does not affect the finality of this rule 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. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings 
to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
