82 FR 21748 - Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Commissioner's Orders for SABIC Innovative Plastics

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

Federal Register Volume 82, Issue 89 (May 10, 2017)

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve as a revision to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) a submittal from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) to EPA, dated December 5, 2016. The submittal consists of an order issued by the Commissioner of IDEM that establishes permanent and enforceable sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) emission limits for SABIC Innovative Plastics (SABIC). IDEM submitted this order so the area near SABIC can be designated ``attainment'' of the 2010 primary SO<INF>2</INF> National Ambient Air Quality Standards, a matter that will be addressed in a separate future rulemaking. EPA's approval of this order would make these SO<INF>2</INF> emission limits and applicable reporting, recordkeeping, and compliance demonstration requirements part of the federally enforceable Indiana SIP.

Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Commissioner's Orders for SABIC 
Innovative Plastics

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve as a revision to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP) a 
submittal from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management 
(IDEM) to EPA, dated December 5, 2016. The submittal consists of an 
order issued by the Commissioner of IDEM that establishes permanent and 
enforceable sulfur dioxide (SO2) emission limits for SABIC 
Innovative Plastics (SABIC). IDEM submitted this order so the area near 
SABIC can be designated ``attainment'' of the 2010 primary 
SO2 National Ambient Air Quality Standards, a matter that 
will be addressed in a separate future rulemaking. EPA's approval of 
this order would make these SO2 emission limits and 
applicable reporting, recordkeeping, and compliance demonstration 
requirements part of the federally enforceable Indiana SIP.

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.
