Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 112 / Thursday, June 11, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 33193 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. This section 

provides additional information by 

addressing the following: 

I. What is being addressed in this document? 

II. Have the requirements for approval of a 

SIP revision been met? 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

The State of Iowa requested EPA 

approval of revisions to the SIP to 

amend Best Management Practices 

(BMPs) for grain vacuuming operations 

at Group 1 grain elevators. Additional 

revisions to the SIP include revised 

definitions, revised requirements for 

Department forms, and rescinding rule 

requirements and references for 

conditional permits. 

These revisions were submitted in 

two separate requests. The amendment 

to the BMPs was effective on September 

10, 2014, and received by EPA on 

November 20, 2014. The second request 

for additional revisions was effective on 

April 22, 2015, and received by EPA on 

May 4, 2015. Details with regard both 

submittals are included in the technical 

support document which is part of this 

docket. 

II. Have the requirements for approval 

of a SIP revision been met? 

The state submission has met the 

public notice requirements for SIP 

submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 

51.102. The submission also satisfied 

the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 

51, appendix V. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve revisions to State of Iowa State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). Chapter 22, 

‘‘Controlling Pollution,’’ is amended to 

revise the Best Management Practices 

(BMPs) for Group 1 grain elevators to 

include grain vacuuming operations. 

Group 1 grain elevators are country 

grain elevators, country grain terminal 

elevators, or grain terminal elevators 

with the potential to emit less than 15 

tons of PM10 per year. Existing Group 1 

facilities are those that commenced 

construction or reconstruction before 

February 6, 2008; new facilities are 

those that commenced construction 

after February 6, 2008. Revised BMPs 

were included with the SIP submission. 

Additional revisions made to the Iowa 

SIP include revising the definition of 

volatile organic compounds with the 

most recent Federally-approved date; 

removing all references to conditional 

permits throughout the SIP, and 

rescinding the air quality forms section. 

Conditional permits were added to 

the Iowa Code in the 1970s to facilitate 

electric utility rate setting. The Iowa 

Utilities Board changed the rate setting 

requirements so that conditional 

permits were not needed. There is no 

record of issuing a conditional permit to 

an electric facility; therefore, references 

to conditional permits are being 

removed with this action. 

References to obsolete and duplicative 

air quality forms are being removed 

from the SIP. 

We are publishing this direct final 

rule without a prior proposed rule 

because we view this as a 

noncontroversial action and anticipate 

no adverse comment. The revised BMPs 

were developed through a stakeholder 

workgroup that was jointly organized by 

IDNR, and grain elevator operators and 

grain vacuum vendors. One comment 

was received during the public 

comment period in support of the 

revised BMPs. The remaining revisions 

are largely administrative, and 

consistent with Federal regulations. 

However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ 

section of this Federal Register, we are 

publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposed rule to 

approve the SIP revisions. If adverse 

comments are received on this direct 

final rule we will not institute a second 

comment period on this action. Any 

parties interested in commenting must 

do so at this time. For further 

information about commenting on this 

rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. 

IV. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

In this rule, EPA is finalizing 

regulatory text that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation 

by reference of Iowa Regulations in 

chapters 20, 22, 31, and 33 described in 

the direct final amendments to 40 CFR 

part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, 

and will continue to make, these 

documents generally available 

electronically through 

www.regulations.gov and/or in hard 

copy at the appropriate EPA office (see 

the ADDRESSES section of this preamble 

for more information). 

Under the Clean Air Act, the 

Administrator is required to approve a 

SIP submission that complies with the 

provisions of the Act and applicable 

Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 

40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP 

submissions, EPA’s role is to approve 

state choices, provided that they meet 

the criteria of the Clean Air Act. 

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: 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• 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.); 

• 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); 

• does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• 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 Clean Air Act; 

and 

• does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

The SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where 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). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 


Lhorne on DSK2VPTVN1PROD with RULES
33194 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 112 / Thursday, June 11, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by August 10, 2015. 

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).)
