SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Throughout this document whenever
‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean
EPA.
I. Background Information
On June 24, 2024 (89 FR 52413), EPA
proposed to approve revisions to Title
326 of the Indiana Administrative Code
(326 IAC), Article 7–4.1–16 (Sulfur
Dioxide Emission Limitations, Lake
County Sulfur Dioxide Limitations,
Safety-Kleen Oil Recovery Company
sulfur dioxide emission limitations) as
contained in Indiana’s September 11,
2023, submittal and clarified through a
March 11, 2024, letter to EPA. 326 IAC
7–4.1–16 was revised to codify
provisions of an October 20, 2021,
Agreed Order into the Indiana SIP.
IDEM also revised 326 IAC 7–4.1–16 to
reflect equipment changes at the facility
in its title V operating permit. An
explanation of the Clean Air Act (CAA)
requirements, a detailed analysis of the
revisions, and EPA’s reasons for
proposing approval were provided in
the notice of proposed rulemaking and
will not be restated here. The public
comment period for this proposed rule
ended on July 24, 2024. EPA received
no comments on the proposal.
Therefore, we are finalizing our action
as proposed.
lotter on DSK11XQN23PROD with RULES1
II. Final Action
EPA is approving into the Indiana SIP
revisions to 326 IAC 7–4.1–16, effective
August 11, 2023, as contained in
Indiana’s September 11, 2023, submittal
and clarified through a March 11, 2024,
letter to EPA.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation
by reference of the Indiana Regulations
described in section II of this preamble
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:12 Sep 13, 2024
Jkt 262001
and set forth in the amendments to 40
CFR part 52 below. EPA has made, and
will continue to make, these documents
generally available through https://
www.regulations.gov, and at the EPA
Region 5 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
Therefore, these materials have been
approved by EPA for inclusion in the
SIP, have been incorporated by
reference by EPA into that plan, are
fully federally enforceable under
sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of
the effective date of the final rulemaking
of EPA’s approval, and will be
incorporated by reference in the next
update to the SIP compilation.1
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is
required to approve a SIP submission
that complies with the provisions of the
CAA and applicable Federal regulations.
42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions,
EPA’s role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of
the CAA. Accordingly, this action
merely approves state law as meeting
Federal requirements and does not
impose additional requirements beyond
those imposed by state law. For that
reason, this action:
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to review by the Office of
Management and Budget under
Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993), and 14094 (88 FR
21879, April 11, 2023);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• 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);
• Does not have federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997)
because it approves a state program;
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001); and
1 62
PO 00000
FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).
Frm 00059
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
75503
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the CAA.
In addition, the SIP is not approved
to apply on any Indian reservation land
or in any other area where EPA or an
Indian Tribe has demonstrated that a
Tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have
Tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on Tribal
governments or preempt Tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
Executive Order 12898 (Federal
Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and
Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal
agencies to identify and address
‘‘disproportionately high and adverse
human health or environmental effects’’
of their actions on communities with
environmental justice (EJ) concerns to
the greatest extent practicable and
permitted by law. EPA defines EJ as
‘‘the fair treatment and meaningful
involvement of all people regardless of
race, color, national origin, or income
with respect to the development,
implementation, and enforcement of
environmental laws, regulations, and
policies.’’ EPA further defines the term
fair treatment to mean that ‘‘no group of
people should bear a disproportionate
burden of environmental harms and
risks, including those resulting from the
negative environmental consequences of
industrial, governmental, and
commercial operations or programs and
policies.’’
The Indiana Department of
Environmental Management did not
evaluate EJ considerations as part of its
SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable
implementing regulations neither
prohibit nor require such an evaluation.
EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and
did not consider EJ in this action. Due
to the nature of the action being taken
here, this action is expected to have a
neutral to positive impact on the air
quality of the affected area.
Consideration of EJ is not required as
part of this action, and there is no
information in the record inconsistent
with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of
achieving environmental justice for
communities with EJ concerns.
This action is subject to the
Congressional Review Act, and EPA will
submit a rule report to each House of
the Congress and to the Comptroller
General of the United States. This action
is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5
U.S.C. 804(2).

action must be filed in the United States

categories, per the allocations
established in the 2006 Consolidated
HMS FMP and its amendments. NMFS
is required under the Magnuson-Stevens
Act at 16 U.S.C. 1854(g)(1)(D) to provide
U.S. fishing vessels with a reasonable
opportunity to harvest quotas under
relevant international fishery
agreements such as the ICCAT
Convention, which is implemented
domestically pursuant to ATCA.
Under § 635.28(a)(1), NMFS files a
closure action with the Office of the
Federal Register for publication when a
BFT quota (or subquota) is reached or is
projected to be reached. Retaining,
possessing, or landing BFT under that
quota category is prohibited on or after
the effective date and time of a closure
action for that category until the
opening of the relevant subsequent
quota period or until such date as
specified.
As described in § 635.27(a), the
current baseline U.S. BFT quota is
1,316.14 metric tons (mt) (not including
the 25 mt ICCAT allocated to the United
States to account for bycatch of BFT in
pelagic longline fisheries in the
Northeast Distant Gear Restricted Area
per § 635.27(a)(3)). The General category
baseline quota is 710.7 mt. The General
category baseline quota is suballocated
to time periods. Relevant to this action,
the baseline subquota for the September
time period is 188.3 mt.

I. Background Information
On June 24, 2024 (89 FR 52413), EPA proposed to approve revisions
to Title 326 of the Indiana Administrative Code (326 IAC), Article 7-
4.1-16 (Sulfur Dioxide Emission Limitations, Lake County Sulfur Dioxide
Limitations, Safety-Kleen Oil Recovery Company sulfur dioxide emission
limitations) as contained in Indiana's September 11, 2023, submittal
and clarified through a March 11, 2024, letter to EPA. 326 IAC 7-4.1-16
was revised to codify provisions of an October 20, 2021, Agreed Order
into the Indiana SIP. IDEM also revised 326 IAC 7-4.1-16 to reflect
equipment changes at the facility in its title V operating permit. An
explanation of the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements, a detailed
analysis of the revisions, and EPA's reasons for proposing approval
were provided in the notice of proposed rulemaking and will not be
restated here. The public comment period for this proposed rule ended
on July 24, 2024. EPA received no comments on the proposal. Therefore,
we are finalizing our action as proposed.
II. Final Action
EPA is approving into the Indiana SIP revisions to 326 IAC 7-4.1-
16, effective August 11, 2023, as contained in Indiana's September 11,
2023, submittal and clarified through a March 11, 2024, letter to EPA.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR

Regulations described in section II of this preamble and set forth in
the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 below. EPA has made, and will continue
to make, these documents generally available through https://www.regulations.gov, and at the EPA Region 5 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of
this preamble for more information). Therefore, these materials have
been approved by EPA for inclusion in the SIP, have been incorporated
by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully federally enforceable
under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the effective date of the
final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be incorporated by
reference in the next update to the SIP compilation.\1\

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993), and 14094 (88 FR 21879, April 11, 2023);
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
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);
Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a state program;
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA.
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where EPA or an Indian Tribe has
demonstrated that a Tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have Tribal implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
Executive Order 12898 (Federal Actions To Address Environmental
Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations, 59 FR 7629,
February 16, 1994) directs Federal agencies to identify and address
``disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental
effects'' of their actions on communities with environmental justice
(EJ) concerns to the greatest extent practicable and permitted by law.
EPA defines EJ as ``the fair treatment and meaningful involvement of
all people regardless of race, color, national origin, or income with
respect to the development, implementation, and enforcement of
environmental laws, regulations, and policies.'' EPA further defines
the term fair treatment to mean that ``no group of people should bear a
disproportionate burden of environmental harms and risks, including
those resulting from the negative environmental consequences of
industrial, governmental, and commercial operations or programs and
policies.''
The Indiana Department of Environmental Management did not evaluate
EJ considerations as part of its SIP submittal; the CAA and applicable
implementing regulations neither prohibit nor require such an
evaluation. EPA did not perform an EJ analysis and did not consider EJ
in this action. Due to the nature of the action being taken here, this
action is expected to have a neutral to positive impact on the air
quality of the affected area. Consideration of EJ is not required as
part of this action, and there is no information in the record
inconsistent with the stated goal of E.O. 12898 of achieving
environmental justice for communities with EJ concerns.
This action is subject to the Congressional Review Act, and EPA
will submit a rule report to each House of the Congress and to the
Comptroller General of the United States. This action is not a ``major
rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by November 15, 2024. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action 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).)
