Approval and Incorporation of Employee Commute Option Program in the State Implementation Plan; Indiana

On August 18, 1994, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) approved the Employee Commute Options (ECO) regulation for Lake and Porter Counties, Indiana. On the same day (August 18, 1994), a proposed rule was also published which established a 30-day public comment period noting that, if adverse comments were received regarding the direct final rule, the USEPA would withdraw the direct final rule and publish an additional final rule to address the public comments. Adverse comments were received during the public comment period from the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, the Northwest Indiana Forum, three affected employers, three motorcycle associations, and three individuals. This final rule summarizes these comments and USEPA's responses and finalizes the approval of the ECO program for Lake and Porter Counties.
