request for delegation of the Maximum Achievable Control Technology
(MACT) standards for polyurethane foam, portland cement, hazardous
waste combustion, oil and natural gas production, natural gas
transmission and storage, publically owned treatment works, pulp and

I. What Action Is EPA Taking Today?
EPA is notifying the public that delegation of the authority to
implement and enforce the MACT standards for polyurethane foam,
portland cement, hazardous waste combustion, oil and natural gas
production, natural gas transmission and storage, publically owned
treatment works, pulp and paper--non-combustion, phosphoric acid
manufacturing, phosphate fertilizer production, tanks--level 1,
containers, surface impoundments, individual drain systems, closed vent
systems, equipment leaks--level 1, equipment leaks--level 2, oil-water
separators, storage vessels--level 2, generic MACT, pesticide active
ingredient production, mineral wool production, and wool fiberglass
manufacturing was approved in a letter from EPA to IDEM dated December
29, 2003.
All notifications, reports and other correspondence required under
section 112 standards should be sent to the State of Indiana rather
than to the EPA, Region 5, in Chicago. Affected sources should send
this information to: Indiana Department of Environmental Management,
Office of Air Management, 100 North Senate Avenue, P.O. Box 6015,
Indianapolis, Indiana 46206-6015.
II. EPA Approved the Delegation Under What Authority?
Section 112(l) of the CAA enables the EPA to approve State air
toxics programs or rules to operate in place of the Federal air toxics
program. The Federal air toxics program implements the requirements
found in section 112 of the CAA pertaining to the regulation of
hazardous air pollutants. Approval of an air toxics program is granted
by the EPA if the Agency finds that the State program: (1) Is ``no less
stringent'' than the corresponding Federal program or rule, (2) the
State has adequate authority and resources to implement the program,
(3) the schedule for implementation and compliance is sufficiently
expeditious, and (4) the program is otherwise in compliance with
Federal guidance. Once approval is granted, the air toxics program can
be implemented and enforced by State or local agencies, as well as EPA.
On November 14, 1995, EPA approved Indiana's program of delegation
for part 70 sources (Federal Register (60 FR 57118)). On July 8, 1997,
EPA approved Indiana's program of delegation for non-part 70 sources
(Federal Register (62 FR 36460)).
III. Which Standards Has IDEM Submitted to EPA for Approval Under
Indiana's Air Toxics Program Delegation Mechanism?
On June 30, 2003, IDEM requested delegation of implementation and
enforcement authority of the MACT standards for polyurethane foam,
portland cement, hazardous waste combustion, oil and natural gas
production, natural gas transmission and storage, publically owned
treatment works, pulp and paper--non-combustion, phosphoric acid
manufacturing, phosphate fertilizer production, tanks--level 1,
containers, surface impoundments, individual drain systems, closed vent
systems, equipment leaks--level 1, equipment leaks--level 2, oil-water
separators, storage vessels--level 2, generic MACT, pesticide active
ingredient production, mineral wool production, and wool fiberglass
manufacturing (i.e., 40 CFR part 63, subpart III, LLL, EEE, HH, HHH,
VVV, S, AA, BB, OO, PP, QQ, RR, SS, TT, UU, VV, WW, YY, MMM, DDD, and
NNN respectively). The State of Indiana's rules 326 Indiana
Administrative Code (IAC) 20-22, 326 IAC 20-27, 326 IAC 20-28, 326 IAC
20-30, 326 IAC 20-31, 326 IAC 20-32, 326 IAC 20-33, 326 IAC 20-34, 326
IAC 20-35, 326 IAC 20-36, 326 IAC 20-37, 326 IAC 20-38, 326 IAC 20-39,

44, 326 IAC 20-45, 326 IAC 20-46, and 326 IAC 20-47 incorporate these
MACT standards into the State's rules unchanged from the Federal
regulations.
