ACTION: Direct final rule. dsatterwhite on PROD1PC76 with RULES AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the Indiana particulate matter (PM10) State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions are for sources at the ASF Keystone, Inc. (Keystone) coil spring manufacturing facility in Lake County, Indiana. On December 15, 2005, Indiana requested revisions that will increase the PM10 emission limit for one unit and reduce the limits for two units. The changes result in a net decrease of 1.77 pounds PM10 per hour (lb/hr) in the allowable emissions. The emission limits for a fourth unit that has shut down were also removed. Indiana also requested removing the process weight rate limits and using lb/hr as the shortterm emission limit. The maximum permissible PM10 emissions will not increase after removing the process weight rate limits because of the net decrease in short-term emission limits. DATES: This direct final rule will be effective July 24, 2006, unless EPA receives adverse comments by June 22, 2006. If adverse comments are received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not take effect.

EPA is approving PM10 emission limit revisions for four units at the Keystone facility. The limit on the small coil manufacturing unit increases from 0.02 to 1.05 lb/hr. The limits on the medium and large coil lines are cut in half. The medium coil unit limit drops from 2.10 to 1.05 lb/hr. The limit on the large coil unit is reduced from 3.50 to 1.75 lb/hr. A net PM10 limit decrease of 1.77 lb/hr results from these revisions. The limit on the miscellaneous coil manufacturing unit, 1.05 lb/hr, is also removed because the unit no longer operates. The revised PM10 emission limits better reflect the actual emissions from these units. EPA is also removing the process weight rate emission limits for the four units. The small coil unit limit of 0.014 lb/T and the limits of 0.700 lb/T for the other three units are being deleted. III. What Is EPA’s Analysis of the Supporting Materials? The emission limit revisions to the coil manufacturing units can be modeled as volume sources. Each unit is controlled by an electrostatic precipitator that exhausts inside the plant. Rooftop vents release the air from inside the plant to the outside. Indiana stated that no modeling is needed. EPA agrees with Indiana because the PM10 emissions from all units combine in Keystone’s building prior to being released into the ambient air. The net limit reduction means the maximum impact will not increase. Indiana also provided the maximum production rates for the coil manufacturing units. The peak rate for the small coil line is 1.5 tons per hour (T/hr). The maximum production rate is 3 T/hr for the medium coil line and 5 T/hr for the large coil line. The shortterm emission limits being replaced equal the process weight rate limit at these maximum production rates. Thus, Keystone would not be able to emit up to the new limit of 1.05 lb/hr on the small coil manufacturing unit because the process weight rate limit would restrict emissions to only 0.02 lb/hr. The lower short-term limits on medium and large coil manufacturing units are more restrictive than the process weight rate limits for these two units. The net decrease in short-term PM10 emission limits will reduce the overall maximum emissions from this facility. VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:30 May 22, 2006 Jkt 208001 29589 period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. If we do not receive any comments, this action will be effective July 24, 2006. IV. What Are the Environmental Effects of These Actions? Scientists have correlated exposure to PM10 with increased hospitalizations for asthma attacks, worsening of lung disease, chronic bronchitis, and heart damage. Particulate exposure can increase respiratory symptoms such as irritation of the airways, coughing, and difficulty breathing. In addition to these human health effects, particulate matter is the main cause of haze which decreases visibility. Particulate eventually settles on land or water which can acidify lakes, deplete the nutrients in soil, and damage sensitive forests and agricultural crops. No adverse impact from PM10 emissions are anticipated from the Keystone revisions because of a net decrease in PM10 emission limits. VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews V. What Action Is EPA Taking Today? EPA is approving revisions to the PM10 limits for sources at a Lake County, Indiana steel coil manufacturer. The revisions result in a net reduction in the PM10 emission limits. The limit for the small coil manufacturing unit is increased while the limits for the medium and large coil units are decreased. The emission limits for the miscellaneous coil manufacturing are removed because the unit was eliminated. EPA also removed the process weight rate emission limits for all four units. The PM10 emissions from the units are vented inside the Keystone plant. No adverse impact on ambient air is expected because the revisions cause a net reduction in PM10 emission limits. We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse written comments are filed. This rule will be effective July 24, 2006 without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written comments by June 22, 2006. If we receive such comments, we will withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed action. The EPA will not institute a second comment PO 00000 Frm 00025 Fmt 4700 Sfmt 4700 Executive Order 12866; Regulatory Planning and Review Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this action is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and therefore is not subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget. Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use Because it is not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ under Executive Order 12866 or a ‘‘significant energy action,’’ this action is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, ‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). Regulatory Flexibility Act This action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Unfunded Mandates Reform Act Because this rule approves preexisting requirements under state law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that required by state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4). Executive Order 13175 Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal Governments This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (59 FR 22951, November 9, 2000). Executive Order 13132 Federalism This action also does not have Federalism implications because it does E:\FR\FM\23MYR1.SGM 23MYR1 29590 Federal Register / Vol. 71, No. 99 / Tuesday, May 23, 2006 / Rules and Regulations not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship between the national government and the states, or on the distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). This action merely approves a state rule implementing a federal standard, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act. Executive Order 13045 Protection of Children From Environmental Health and Safety Risks This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 ‘‘Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant. National Technology Transfer Advancement Act In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s role is to approve state choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the state to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. dsatterwhite on PROD1PC76 with RULES Paperwork Reduction Act This rule does not impose an information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Congressional Review Act The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot take effect until 60 days after it VerDate Aug<31>2005 19:30 May 22, 2006 Jkt 208001 is published in the Federal Register. This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by July 24, 2006. Filing a petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).) Requirements, Section 4: ASF Keystone, Inc.-Hammond.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Indiana

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the Indiana particulate matter 
(PM10) State Implementation Plan (SIP). These revisions are 
for sources at the ASF Keystone, Inc. (Keystone) coil spring 
manufacturing facility in Lake County, Indiana. On December 15, 2005, 
Indiana requested revisions that will increase the PM10 
emission limit for one unit and reduce the limits for two units. The 
changes result in a net decrease of 1.77 pounds PM10 per 
hour (lb/hr) in the allowable emissions. The emission limits for a 
fourth unit that has shut down were also removed. Indiana also 
requested removing the process weight rate limits and using lb/hr as 
the short-term emission limit. The maximum permissible PM10 
emissions will not increase after removing the process weight rate 
limits because of the net decrease in short-term emission limits.

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective July 24, 2006, unless 
EPA receives adverse comments by June 22, 2006. If adverse comments are 
received, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule 
in the Federal Register informing the public that the rule will not 
take effect.

II. What Is EPA Approving?

    EPA is approving PM10 emission limit revisions for four 
units at the Keystone facility. The limit on the small coil 
manufacturing unit increases from 0.02 to 1.05 lb/hr. The limits on the 
medium and large coil lines are cut in half. The medium coil unit limit 
drops from 2.10 to 1.05 lb/hr. The limit on the large coil unit is 
reduced from 3.50 to 1.75 lb/hr. A net PM10 limit decrease 
of 1.77 lb/hr results from these revisions. The limit on the 
miscellaneous coil manufacturing unit, 1.05 lb/hr, is also removed 
because the unit no longer operates. The revised PM10 
emission limits better reflect the actual emissions from these units. 
EPA is also removing the process weight rate emission limits for the 
four units. The small coil unit limit of 0.014 lb/T and the limits of 
0.700 lb/T for the other three units are being deleted.

III. What Is EPA's Analysis of the Supporting Materials?

    The emission limit revisions to the coil manufacturing units can be 
modeled as volume sources. Each unit is controlled by an electrostatic 
precipitator that exhausts inside the plant. Rooftop vents release the 
air from inside the plant to the outside. Indiana stated that no 
modeling is needed. EPA agrees with Indiana because the PM10 
emissions from all units combine in Keystone's building prior to being 
released into the ambient air. The net limit reduction means the 
maximum impact will not increase.
    Indiana also provided the maximum production rates for the coil 
manufacturing units. The peak rate for the small coil line is 1.5 tons 
per hour (T/hr). The maximum production rate is 3 T/hr for the medium 
coil line and 5 T/hr for the large coil line. The short-term emission 
limits being replaced equal the process weight rate limit at these 
maximum production rates. Thus, Keystone would not be able to emit up 
to the new limit of 1.05 lb/hr on the small coil manufacturing unit 
because the process weight rate limit would restrict emissions to only 
0.02 lb/hr. The lower short-term limits on medium and large coil 
manufacturing units are more restrictive than the process weight rate 
limits for these two units. The net decrease in short-term 
PM10 emission limits will reduce the overall maximum 
emissions from this facility.
    Indiana held public hearings on June 1, 2005 and on August 3, 2005. 
No public comments were received during the comment periods including 
at the public hearings.

IV. What Are the Environmental Effects of These Actions?

    Scientists have correlated exposure to PM10 with 
increased hospitalizations for asthma attacks, worsening of lung 
disease, chronic bronchitis, and heart damage. Particulate exposure can 
increase respiratory symptoms such as irritation of the airways, 
coughing, and difficulty breathing. In addition to these human health 
effects, particulate matter is the main cause of haze which decreases 
visibility. Particulate eventually settles on land or water which can 
acidify lakes, deplete the nutrients in soil, and damage sensitive 
forests and agricultural crops. No adverse impact from PM10 
emissions are anticipated from the Keystone revisions because of a net 
decrease in PM10 emission limits.

V. What Action Is EPA Taking Today?

    EPA is approving revisions to the PM10 limits for 
sources at a Lake County, Indiana steel coil manufacturer. The 
revisions result in a net reduction in the PM10 emission 
limits. The limit for the small coil manufacturing unit is increased 
while the limits for the medium and large coil units are decreased. The 
emission limits for the miscellaneous coil manufacturing are removed 
because the unit was eliminated. EPA also removed the process weight 
rate emission limits for all four units. The PM10 emissions 
from the units are vented inside the Keystone plant. No adverse impact 
on ambient air is expected because the revisions cause a net reduction 
in PM10 emission limits.
    We are publishing this action without prior proposal because we 
view this as a noncontroversial amendment and anticipate no adverse 
comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this Federal 
Register publication, we are publishing a separate document that will 
serve as the proposal to approve the state plan if relevant adverse 
written comments are filed. This rule will be effective July 24, 2006 
without further notice unless we receive relevant adverse written 
comments by June 22, 2006. If we receive such comments, we will 
withdraw this action before the effective date by publishing a 
subsequent document that will withdraw the final action. All public 
comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule 
based on the proposed action. The EPA will not institute a second 
comment period. Any parties interested in commenting on this action 
should do so at this time. If we do not receive any comments, this 
action will be effective July 24, 2006.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Executive Order 12866; Regulatory Planning and Review

    Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993), this 
action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' and therefore is not 
subject to review by the Office of Management and Budget.

Executive Order 13211: Actions That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 
Distribution, or Use

    Because it is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under 
Executive Order 12866 or a ``significant energy action,'' this action 
is also not subject to Executive Order 13211, ``Actions Concerning 
Regulations That Significantly Affect Energy Supply, Distribution, or 
Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001).

Regulatory Flexibility Act

    This action merely approves state law as meeting Federal 
requirements and imposes no additional requirements beyond those 
imposed by state law. Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that 
this rule will not have a significant economic impact on a substantial 
number of small entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 
601 et seq.).

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act

    Because this rule approves pre-existing requirements under state 
law and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that 
required by state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or 
significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).

Executive Order 13175 Consultation and Coordination With Indian Tribal 
Governments

    This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will 
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on 
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or 
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal 
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (59 
FR 22951, November 9, 2000).

Executive Order 13132 Federalism

    This action also does not have Federalism implications because it 
does

[[Page 29590]]

not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the relationship 
between the national government and the states, or on the distribution 
of power and responsibilities among the various levels of government, 
as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999). 
This action merely approves a state rule implementing a federal 
standard, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of 
power and responsibilities established in the Clean Air Act.

Executive Order 13045 Protection of Children From Environmental Health 
and Safety Risks

    This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045 ``Protection 
of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety Risks'' (62 FR 
19885, April 23, 1997), because it is not economically significant.

National Technology Transfer Advancement Act

    In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state 
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act. In 
this context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the 
state to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 
to disapprove a SIP submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be 
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a SIP 
submission, to use VCS in place of a SIP submission that otherwise 
satisfies the provisions of the Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements 
of section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement 
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply.

Paperwork Reduction Act

    This rule does not impose an information collection burden under 
the provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 
et seq.).

Congressional Review Act

    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the 
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally 
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating 
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule, 
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the 
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other 
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of 
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior 
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot 
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal 
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for 
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court 
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by July 24, 2006. Filing a 
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule 
does not affect the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial 
review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial 
review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such 
rule or action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings 
to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

    (c) * * *
    (175) On December 15, 2005, Indiana submitted revised particulate 
matter (PM10) regulations for ASF Keystone, Inc. in Lake 
County. The emission limit for the small coil manufacturing unit is 
increased while the limits for the medium and large coil manufacturing 
units are decreased. The result of these revisions is a net decrease in 
PM10 emission limits. The emission limits for miscellaneous 
coil manufacturing are removed because the unit no longer operates. EPA 
also removed the process weight rate emission limits for the four 
units.
