Summary

The EPA is proposing to approve Indiana's February 10, 2004, and April 12, 2004, submittal of a revision to its existing emission reporting rule to be consistent with the emission statement program requirements for stationary sources in the Clean Air Act (CAA). On April 12, 2004, Indiana submitted its final rule as published in the Indiana Register. Indiana held a public hearing on the submittal on December 3, 2003. EPA is approving the revision to the emission reporting rule to satisfy the emission statement program requirements in the CAA. 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 anticipate 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 activity 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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 November 29, 2004.
