Clean Air Act Final Approval of Operating Permit Program Revisions; Indiana

EPA is taking final action to approve revisions to the operating permit program of the State of Indiana. Indiana submitted its operating permit program in response to the directive in the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments that states develop, and submit to EPA, programs for issuing operating permits to all major stationary sources and to certain other sources within the states' jurisdiction. EPA granted full approval to Indiana's operating permit program effective November 30, 2001. At that time, EPA also issued a notice of program deficiency (NOD) in which EPA identified problems with Indiana's program and a timeframe within which Indiana had to correct the problems. Indiana submitted revisions to its operating permit program on February 7, 2002. These program revisions include regulatory changes which resolve deficiencies that EPA identified in the NOD. This action also includes other changes to the state's title V regulations. One of the deficiencies EPA identified in the NOD is not included in this submittal because it is part of a separate State Implementation Plan (SIP) submittal. EPA will take action on that submittal in a separate Federal Register document.
