ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[R05-OAR-2004-IN-0004; FRL-7820-5]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Indiana
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to volatile organic
compound (VOC) requirements for Eli Lilly and Company (Eli Lilly). This
facility is in Marion County, Indiana. The Indiana Department of
Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted a Commissioner's Order
requesting the revision on February 11, 2004 as an amendment to the
Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP).
Eli Lilly operates a synthesized pharmaceutical manufacturing
facility in Marion County. This SIP revision covers new and existing
sources in Eli Lilly's Building 110 pilot plant. Eli Lilly is seeking
an exemption from 326 Indiana Administrative Code (IAC) 8-5-3, control
requirements for synthesized pharmaceutical manufacturing, under the
site-specific reasonably available control technology (RACT) rule, 326
IAC 8-1-5. Eli Lilly is seeking this exemption for reactors, filters,
centrifuges, and vacuum dryers. Other Building 110 sources such as air
dryers, in-process tanks, and storage tanks comply with 326 IAC 8-5-3.
The total VOC annual emissions from Building 110 are limited to less
than 10 tons per year (TPY).
DATES: The EPA must receive written comments by December 8, 2004.

I. What Actions Are the EPA Taking Today?
EPA is proposing to approve revisions to VOC requirements for the
Eli Lilly pharmaceutical manufacturing facility in Marion County,
Indiana. The revisions include an exemption from the control
requirements of 326 IAC 8-5-3 for reactors, centrifuges, filters, and
vacuum dryers in Building 110, the pilot plant for Eli Lilly. This
exemption can be approved under Indiana's site-specific RACT rule, 326
IAC 8-1-5. Another revision is that Eli Lilly can now add research and
development equipment to Building 110 without a new SIP revision. Eli
Lilly will follow the appropriate RACT plan for any new equipment and
keep the total annual VOC limit for Building 110 to less than 10 TPY.
II. General Information
What Should I Consider as I Prepare My Comments for EPA?
1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit this information to EPA through
EDOCKET, regulations.gov, or e-mail. Clearly mark the part or all of
the information that you claim to be CBI. For CBI information in a disk
or CD ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the outside of the disk or CD ROM
as CBI and then identify electronically within the disk or CD ROM the
specific information that is claimed as CBI. In addition to one
complete version of the comment that includes information claimed as
CBI, a copy of the comment that does not contain the information
claimed as CBI must be submitted for inclusion in the public docket.
Information so marked will not be disclosed except in accordance with
procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2.
