ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[R05-OAR-2004-IN-0001; FRL-7931-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: On July 9, 2002, the Indiana Department of Environmental 
Management (IDEM) submitted a request that EPA approve a revision to 
its process weight rate rules into the Indiana State Implementation 
Plan (SIP). The revision clarifies language and applicability to better 
establish IDEM's interpretation of the rule and to correct rates that 
were previously calculated incorrectly in the process weight rate table 
incorporated in the rule. EPA is proposing to approve the SIP revision 
request.
    In the 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 no adverse comments are received in response to 
this proposed rule, no further action is contemplated in relation to 
this proposed rule. 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 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 August 24, 2005.

Do not submit information that you consider to be CBI or otherwise

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 
this document.
    Docket: All documents in the electronic docket are listed in the 
Regional Material in EDOCKET (RME) index at http://www.epa.gov/edocket.

available, i.e., Confidential Business Information (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 the Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Air

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. General Information

A. Does This Action Apply to Me?

    This action is rulemaking on a revision to the process weight rate 
rules in the Indiana SIP. The revision clarifies language and 
applicability to clarify IDEM's interpretation of the rule and to 
correct rates that were previously calculated incorrectly in the 
process weight rate table incorporated in the rule.

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?

    1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through 
EDOCKET, 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

[[Page 42520]]

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.
