[EPA-R05-OAR-2013-0372; FRL-9820-9]

Proposal for Sewage Sludge Incinerators State Plan for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve, through direct final rulemaking, 
Indiana's State Plan to control air pollutants from Sewage Sludge 
Incinerators (SSI). The Indiana Department of Environmental Management 
submitted the State Plan on February 27, 2013, following the required 
public process. The State Plan is consistent with the Emission 
Guidelines promulgated by EPA on March 21, 2011. This approval means 
that EPA finds that the State Plan meets applicable Clean Air Act 
requirements for subject SSI units. Once effective, this approval also 
makes the State Plan Federally enforceable.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 11, 2013.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's submittal as a direct final rule 
without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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.
