ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2016-0707; FRL-9962-08-Region 5]

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Commissioner's Order for Carmeuse 
Lime, Inc.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve, as a revision to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP), 
a submittal from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management 
(IDEM) to EPA, dated December 22, 2016. The submittal consists of an 
order issued by the Commissioner of IDEM that establishes permanent and 
enforceable sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission limits for 
Carmeuse Lime, Inc. (Carmeuse), applicable to its Gary, Indiana lime 
manufacturing plant. IDEM submitted this order so the area near 
Carmeuse can be designated ``attainment'' of the 2010 primary 
SO2 National Ambient Air Quality Standards, a matter that 
will be addressed in a separate future rulemaking. EPA's approval of 
this order would make these SO2 emission limits and 
applicable reporting, recordkeeping, and compliance demonstration 
requirements part of the federally enforceable Indiana SIP.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before June 9, 2017.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2016-0707 at http://www.regulations.gov or via email to

follow the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either

public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written 
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and

generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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.

    Dated: April 21, 2017.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
