Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving revisions to the volatile organic compound (VOC) requirements for Keystone Automotives Industries dba Saturn Wheel (Keystone) of Huntington County, Indiana. Keystone owns and operates an aluminum alloy wheel refurbishing and distribution facility at which it performs cold cleaner degreasing operations and is subject to the VOC rules under article 8 of the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC). On February 26, 2025, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM) submitted a Commissioner's Order containing the revised requirements and requested that the EPA approved it as an amendment to the Indiana State Implementation Plan (SIP). IDEM is seeking the EPA approval of an equivalent control device and site specific Reasonably Available Control Technology (RACT) for Keystone's degreasing operations, as provided in IAC article 8. The EPA proposed to approve this action on February 27, 2026, and received no adverse comments.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
revisions to the volatile organic compound (VOC) requirements for
Keystone Automotives Industries dba Saturn Wheel (Keystone) of
Huntington County, Indiana. Keystone owns and operates an aluminum
alloy wheel refurbishing and distribution facility at which it performs
cold cleaner degreasing operations and is subject to the VOC rules
under article 8 of the Indiana Administrative Code (IAC). On February
26, 2025, the Indiana Department of Environmental Management (IDEM)
submitted a Commissioner's Order containing the revised requirements
and requested that the EPA approved it as an amendment to the Indiana
State Implementation Plan (SIP). IDEM is seeking the EPA approval of an
equivalent control device and site specific Reasonably Available
Control Technology (RACT) for Keystone's degreasing operations, as
provided in IAC article 8. The EPA proposed to approve this action on
February 27, 2026, and received no adverse comments.
DATES: This final rule is effective on June 29, 2026.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,''
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean the EPA.
I. Background Information
On February 27, 2026 (91 FR 9798), the EPA proposed to approve a
revision to Indiana's VOC SIP for Keystone. The company requested that
it be permitted to use an oil cover as an equivalent control device for
its cold cleaner degreaser, as provided in 326 IAC 8-1-5 and 326 IAC 8-
3-2. The oil cover, Aquastrip Fume Seal, is a layer of mineral oil at
least one-inch thick floating over the cleaning solvent in a dip tank.
The solvent is a mixture of two water miscible compounds, n-Methyl
[[Page 31940]]
Pyrrolidone and monoethanolamine. The oil cover controls VOC emissions
from the dip tank by reducing solvent evaporation. An explanation of
the Clean Air Act (CAA) requirements, a detailed analysis of the
revisions, and the EPA's reasons for proposing approval were provided
in the notice of proposed rulemaking, and will not be restated here.
The public comment period for this proposed rule ended on March 30,
2026. The EPA received no comments on the proposal.
II. Final Action
The EPA is approving revisions to VOC emissions regulations for the
Keystone aluminum alloy wheel refurbishing and distribution facility in
Huntington County, Indiana. More specifically, the EPA is approving
Commissioner's Order 2025-Air-01, signed February 19, 2025, into the
Indiana SIP. The revision provides for the use of an oil cover as an
equivalent VOC emission control system under 326 IAC 8-1-5 and 326 IAC
8-3-2 for its cold cleaner degreaser.
III. Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, the EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the
Indiana Commissioner's Order 2025-Air-01 described in section II of
this preamble and set forth in the amendments to 40 CFR part 52 below.
The EPA has made, and will continue to make, these documents generally
available through <a href="https://www.regulations.gov">https://www.regulations.gov</a>, and at the EPA Region 5
Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more information).
Therefore, these materials have been approved by the EPA for inclusion
in the SIP, have been incorporated by reference by the EPA into that
plan, are fully federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the
CAA as of the effective date of the final rulemaking of the EPA's
approval, and will be incorporated by reference in the next update to
the SIP compilation.\1\

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the CAA and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve State choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves State law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by State
law. For that reason, this action:
<bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
<bullet> Is not an Executive Order 14192 (90 FR 9065, February 6,
2025) regulatory action because this action is not significant under
Executive Order 12866;
<bullet> Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
<bullet> Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
<bullet> Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
<bullet> Does not have federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
<bullet> Is not subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885,
April 23, 1997) because it approves a State program;
<bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001); and
<bullet> Is not subject to requirements of section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA.
In addition, the SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian
reservation land or in any other area where the EPA or an Indian Tribe
has demonstrated that a Tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of
Indian country, the rule does not have Tribal implications and will not
impose substantial direct costs on Tribal governments or preempt Tribal
law as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9,
2000).
This rule is exempt from the Congressional Review Act because it is
a rule of particular applicability.
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by July 28, 2026. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2) of the CAA.)
