Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana
Document Number: 05-14600
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2005-07-25
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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.
