ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[R05-OAR-2005-IN-0001; FRL-7894-9]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Indiana
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to volatile organic
compound (VOC) requirements for Transwheel Corporation (Transwheel) of
Huntington County, Indiana. Transwheel owns and operates an aluminum
wheel reprocessing plant at which it performs cold cleaner degreasing
operations. On December 22, 2004, the Indiana Department of
Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted a Commissioner's Order
containing the revised requirements, and requested that EPA approve it
as an amendment to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP). The
December 22, 2004, submission supplements a November 8, 2001,
submission. IDEM is seeking EPA approval of an ``equivalent control
device'' for Transwheel's degreasing operations, under 326 Indiana
Administrative Code (IAC) 8-3-5 (a)(5)(C).

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part or section number.
c. Explain why you agree or disagree; suggest alternatives and
substitute language for your requested changes.
d. Describe any assumptions and provide any technical information
and/or data that you used.
e. If you estimate potential costs or burdens, explain how you
arrived at your estimate in sufficient detail to allow for it to be
reproduced.

profanity or personal threats.
h. Make sure to submit your comments by the comment period deadline
identified.
II. What Action Is EPA Taking Today?
The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to Indiana's VOC SIP for
Transwheel. The company has requested that it be permitted to use an
oil cover as an equivalent control device for its cold cleaner
degreaser, under 326 IAC 8-3-5(a)(5)(C). The oil cover is a layer of
mineral oil several inches thick floating over the cleaning solvent in
a dip tank. The solvent is a mixture of two water miscible compounds,
NMP and MEA. The oil cover controls VOC emissions from the dip tank by
reducing solvent evaporation.
III. Where Can I Find More Information About This Proposal and the
Corresponding Direct Final Rule?
For additional information, see the Direct Final Rule which is

request and the EPA's analysis are available electronically at RME or
