Approval and Promulgation of Air Implementation Plans; Indiana; Rules To Control Particulate Matter and Carbon Monoxide Emissions From Incinerators

The EPA is proposing to approve, through direct final procedure, a revision to a plan submitted by Indiana concerning emissions of carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) from existing incinerators. The revision was submitted on October 30, 2002, and on January 10, 2003, following required public process. The rules being amended and re-adopted apply to incinerators in the State for which there are no presently applicable Federal rules or guidelines. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the changes to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for CO and PM as a direct final rule without prior proposal because we view this action as noncontroversial and anticipate no adverse comments. If no written adverse comments are received in response to the direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives meaningful written adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. If no adverse written comments are received, the direct final rule will take effect on the date stated in that document and no further activity will be taken on this proposed rule. Any party interested in commenting on this action should do so within the timeframe noted below.
