ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2007-0907; FRL-8541-4]

 
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a request submitted by the Indiana 
Department of Environmental Management on July 20, 2007, as 
supplemented on December 19, 2007, to revise the Indiana State 
Implementation Plan (SIP). The submission revises the Indiana 
Administrative Code (IAC) by amending the definition of ``References to 
Code of Federal Regulations,'' to update of the references to the Code 
of Federal Regulations to refer to the 2006 edition. The rule revision 
also makes minor corrections to amend the definition of 
``nonphotochemically reactive hydrocarbons'' or ``negligibly 
photochemically reactive compounds,'' and to amend the definition of 
``volatile organic compound'' or ``VOC.''
    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

[[Page 14427]]

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: Comments must be received on or before April 17, 2008.

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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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.
