OW–2004–0002. Materials for Peer Review of the 

Population Projection Matrix Model. DCN 8–5200. 

EPA is then using the PPM model to 

evaluate the potential impacts of 

regulatory options described in the 

proposed rule. To do this, EPA adjusts 

the life stage-specific rates of 

impingement and entrainment mortality 

to reflect the estimated effectiveness of 

a given regulatory option. EPA then 

compares the model’s estimates with 

and without implementation of a given 

regulatory option to estimate the 

option’s impact on population 

abundance. 

Given the limited number of species 

populations for which sufficient data is 

available to implement the PPM model, 

EPA foresees using the model as a 

supplement to, rather than as a 

replacement for, the modeling efforts 

described in the proposal. Some 

preliminary results from use of the PPM 

model are described in Section 4 of DCN 

8–5201. EPA has also conducted a peer 

review of the model.25 EPA solicits 

comment on the use of the PPM model 

for the final rule. EPA also solicits 

submission of data that may be used to 

implement the model.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[R05–OAR–2005–IN–0007; FRL–7999–4] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plan; Indiana 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

Indiana’s April 8, 2005, submittal which 

revises existing sulfur dioxide (SO2) 

emission limits for sources in Dearborn 

County. On April 8, 2005, Indiana 

submitted its final rule as published in 

the Indiana Register. Indiana held 

public hearings on the submittal on May 

5, 2004 and October 6, 2004. Indiana is 

requesting that EPA approve the 

revisions to Indiana’s SO2 rule for 

Dearborn County, which removes 

obsolete rule language and updates 

information for sources listed in the 

rule. These revisions will not result in 

an increase in SO2 emissions in 

Dearborn County because no emission 

limits were increased. 

In the final rules section of this 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

SIP revision as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal, because EPA 

views this as a noncontroversial 

revision and anticipates no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If we do not receive any adverse 

comments in response to these direct 

final and proposed rules, we do not 

contemplate taking any further action in 

relation to this proposed rule. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, we will 

withdraw the direct final rule and will 

respond to all public comments in a 

subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed rule. EPA will not institute a 

second comment period on this action. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before December 27, 

2005.

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business

placed in the public docket and made 

available on the Internet. If you submit 

an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment.

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses. For additional instructions on

III. Where Can I Find More Information 

About This Proposal and the 

Corresponding Direct Final Rule? 

I. General Information 

A. Does This Action Apply to Me? 

This action only applies to specific 

SO2 sources located in Dearborn 

County, Indiana. 

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit CBI 

to EPA through RME, regulations.gov or 

e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of 

the information that you claim to be 

CBI. For CBI information in a disk or 

CD–ROM that you mail to EPA, mark 

the outside of the disk or CD–ROM as 

CBI and then identify electronically 

within the disk or CD–ROM the specific 

information that is claimed as CBI. In 

addition to one complete version of the 

comment that includes information 

claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment 

that does not contain the information 

claimed as CBI must be submitted for 

inclusion in the public docket. 

Information so marked will not be 

disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments. 

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

a. Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

b. Follow directions—The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

c. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

d. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/ 

or data that you used. 

e. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

f. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

g. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

h. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. What Action Is EPA Taking Today? 

EPA is proposing to approve revisions 

to Indiana’s SO2 SIP for specified 

existing stationary sources located in 

Dearborn County, Indiana. The SIP 

revisions amend 326 IAC 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. The 

amendments to this rule are minor, and 

will not result in an increase in SO2

emissions in Dearborn County because 

no emission limits were increased. 

III. Where Can I Find More Information 

About This Proposal and the 

Corresponding Direct Final Rule?

Direct Final Rule which is located in the
