Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; State of Iowa: 

Regional Haze 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is finalizing a limited 

approval of a revision to the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) for Iowa, 

submitted by the Iowa Department of 

Natural Resources on March 25, 2008, 

that addresses Regional Haze for the 

first implementation period. 

Specifically, these revisions address the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA 

or Act) and EPA’s rules that required 

States to prevent any future and remedy 

any existing anthropogenic impairment 

of visibility in Class I areas (national 

parks and wilderness areas) caused by 

emissions of air pollutants located over 

a wide geographic area (also known as 

the ‘‘regional haze’’ program). EPA 

proposed to approve these revisions on 

February 28, 2012. In a separate 

rulemaking action, EPA finalized the 

limited disapproval of Iowa’s regional 

haze SIP and imposed a Federal 

Implementation Plan (FIP) for Iowa 

which was signed on May 30, 2012, and 

published in the Federal Register on 

June 7, 2012. 

DATES: This rule will become effective 

July 26, 2012, except that the 

amendment to § 52.842 is effective 

August 6, 2012. 

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a 

docket for this action under Docket 

Identification No. EPA–R07–OAR– 

2012–0150. All documents in the docket 

are listed on the www.regulations.gov 

Web site. Although listed in the index,

I. Background 

On February 28, 2012 (77 FR 11974), 

EPA published a notice of proposed 

rulemaking (NPR) for the State of Iowa, 

proposing limited approval of Iowa’s 

regional haze plan for the first 

implementation period (through 2018). 

A detailed explanation of the CAA’s 

visibility requirements and the regional 

haze rule as it applies to Iowa was 

provided in the NPR and will not be 

restated here. EPA’s rationale for 

proposing limited approval of the Iowa 

SIP was also described in detail in the 

proposal. 

II. Public Comments and EPA 

Responses 

The publication of EPA’s proposed 

rule on February 28, 2012, initiated a 30 

day public comment period that ended 

on March 29, 2012. During the public 

comment period we received no written 

comments. 

III. Technical Corrections 

Table 2, ‘‘Iowa’s Absolute 

Contribution to Visibility Impairment, 

Northern Midwest Class I Areas’’ 

contained one numerical error. Iowa’s 

2002 contribution to Voyagers should 

read 2.16 rather than 2.60. 

In Table 7, ‘‘2002 Iowa Emissions 

Summary,’’ the NH3 area source 

inventory should read 6,560 rather than 

6.560.

IV. Final Action 

EPA is finalizing its limited approval 

of the State of Iowa’s Regional Haze SIP, 

submitted on March 25, 2008, as 

meeting some of the applicable regional 

haze requirements set forth in section 

169A and 169B of the CAA and in the 

Federal regulations codified at 40 CFR 

51.308, and the requirements of 40 CFR 

part 51, subpart F and appendix V. In 

a separate rulemaking action, EPA 

finalized the limited disapproval of 

Iowa’s Regional Haze SIP and imposed 

a FIP for Iowa. 77 FR 33642. 

V. Statutory and Executive Order 

Requirements 

Under the CAA, 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 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: 

• 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); 

• 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 CAA; 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). 

Executive Order 13175, entitled 

‘‘Consultation and Coordination with 

Indian Tribal Governments’’ (65 FR 

67249, November 9, 2000), requires EPA 

to develop an accountable process to 

ensure ‘‘meaningful and timely input by 

tribal officials in the development of 

regulatory policies that have tribal 

implications.’’ This rule does not have 

tribal implications, as specified in 

Executive Order 13175. It will not have 

substantial direct effects on tribal 

governments. Thus, Executive Order 

13175 does not apply to this rule.

■ 3. Section 52.842 is amended by 

revising paragraph (a) to read as follows: 

§ 52.842 Visibility protection. 

(a) Regional Haze. The requirements 

of section 169A of the Clean Air Act are 

not met because the regional haze plan 

submitted by Iowa on March 25, 2008, 

does not include fully approvable 

measures for meeting the requirements 

of 40 CFR 51.308(d)(3) and 51.308(e) 

with respect to emissions of NOX and 

SO2 from electric generating units. EPA 

has given limited approval and limited 

disapproval to the plan provisions 

addressing these requirements.
