Air Plan Approval; Indiana; Emissions Reporting Rule Environmental Protection Agency EPA.
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:

The Environmental Protection Agency EPA is approving a revision to the Indiana State Implementation Plan SIP submitted on July 16, 2020, by the Indiana Department of Environmental Management IDEM. The revision incorporates changes to Indianas existing emission reporting rule to be consistent with the emissions statement requirements in the Clean Air Act CAA. The CAA requires stationary sources in ozone nonattainment areas to submit annual emissions statements.
The revision to the rule extends the requirements in Indianas emission reporting rule to Clark and Floyd counties, which were designated nonattainment under the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard NAAQS in 2018, and removes the requirement for Lawrenceburg Township in Dearborn County and to LaPorte County, because these areas are currently designated attainment for the 1997, 2008 and 2015 ozone standards.
DATES: This final rule is effective on July 16, 2021.

reporting rule, 326 IAC 26. An explanation of the CAA requirements, a detailed analysis of the revisions, and EPAs reasons for proposing approval were provided in EPAs notice of proposed rulemaking NPRM, dated February 11, 2021 86 FR 9036, and will not be restated here.
II. What comments did we receive on the proposed rule?
In the NPRM, EPA provided a 30-day review and comment period for the proposed rule. The comment period ended on March 15, 2021. We received three comments during the comment period. The full comments are in the rulemaking docket, see Addresses for details on accessing the docket.
Two of the comments received were supportive of EPAs action. Comments from a third individual expressed several issues of concern not addressed in EPAs proposed rulemaking. Those comments are summarized and addressed below.
Comment: The commenter asserted that the decision to remove reporting requirements for Lawrenceburg Township and LaPorte County could have permanent impacts on Indianas citizens. IDEM should reconsider removing the two areas from attainment.
Response: Because Lawrenceburg Township and LaPorte County have demonstrated attainment with the ozone NAAQS, EPA designated them as attainment areas under Section 107d of the CAA on June 4, 2018 83 FR 25776.
Consequently, section 182a3B of the CAA authorizes IDEM to remove the emissions reporting requirements for those two areas. The commenters suggestion that IDEM should remove the ozone attainment designation status for LaPorte County and Lawrenceburg
