40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R05-OAR-2006-0276; FRL-8408-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Indiana; Amendments to Lead Rules, Quemetco
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revised lead (Pb) emission limits
for Quemetco, Incorporated, in Marion County, Indiana. On February 7,
2002, Indiana submitted revisions to its State Implementation Plan
(SIP) for lead as part of the State's incorporation of a Federal
standard for secondary lead smelters. On October 3, 2006, and November
27, 2007, Indiana supplemented its request as it pertained to Quemetco,
Incorporated, in Marion County. The requested SIP revision replaces the
Pb emission limits for Quemetco, Incorporated with similarly stringent
limits. The new limits were found to be protective of the national
ambient air quality standards.

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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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.
Dated: December 7, 2007.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
