27546 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 93 / Wednesday, May 14, 2014 / Proposed Rules 

County, Idaho portion of the cross 

border Logan, Utah-Idaho 

nonattainment area. The EPA has 

determined that this action is consistent 

with sections 110 and 172(c)(3) of the 

CAA. 

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 proposes to approve state law as 

meeting federal requirements and does 

not impose additional requirements 

beyond those imposed by State law. For 

that reason, this proposed 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 the 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). 

In addition, this rule does not have 

tribal implications as specified by 

Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, 

November 9, 2000), because the SIP is 

not approved to apply in Indian country 

located in the state, and the EPA notes 

that it will not impose substantial direct 

costs on tribal governments or preempt 

tribal law.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the State Implementation 

Plan (SIP) for the state of Iowa. These 

revisions will amend the SIP to include 

revisions to Iowa air quality rules 

necessary to allow for implementation 

of revised National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) for fine particulate 

matter (PM2.5), lead, and sulfur dioxide 

(SO2) as they apply to construction 

permit exemptions. The spray booth 

‘‘permit by rule’’ proposed revision will 

add content limits for lead-containing 

spray materials. The updated Federal 

references for the revised NAAQS are 

also included in this revision. 

EPA is also proposing to approve 

revisions to the Iowa Title V Operating 

Permits Program to modify requirements 

for insignificant activities. The changes 

will correspond to the revisions to the 

construction permit exemptions 

amended with this SIP revision. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

June 13, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07–

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of the Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the state’s 

SIP revision as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal because the 

Agency views this as a noncontroversial 

revision amendment and anticipates no 

relevant adverse comments to this 

action. A detailed rationale for the 

approval is set forth in the direct final 

rule. If no relevant adverse comments 

are received in response to this action, 

no further activity is contemplated in 

relation to this action. If EPA receives 

relevant adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed action. EPA will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this action. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. Please note that if EPA 

receives adverse comment on part of 

this rule and if that part can be severed 

from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 

adopt as final those parts of the rule that 

are not the subject of an adverse 

comment. For additional information, 

see the direct final rule which is located 

in the rules section of this Federal 

Register.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On October 16, 2012, the U.S. Fish 

and Wildlife Service published a 

proposed rule in the Federal Register 

(77 FR 63440) to list the Neosho mucket 

(Lampsilis rafinesqueana) as an 

endangered species and the rabbitsfoot 

(Quadrula cylindrica cylindrica) as a 

threatened species and to designate 

critical habitat for these two mussels 

under the Endangered Species Act of 

1973, as amended (16 U.S.C. 1531 et 

seq.) (Act). We proposed to designate 

approximately 779.1 river kilometers 

(rkm) (484.1 river miles (rmi)) of critical 

habitat for the Neosho mucket in the 

Cottonwood, Elk, Fall, Illinois, Neosho, 

Shoal, Spring, North Fork Spring, and 

Verdigris Rivers in Arkansas, Kansas, 

Missouri, and Oklahoma. 

We proposed to designate 2,664 rkm 

(1,655 rmi) of critical habitat for the 

rabbitsfoot in the Neosho, Spring 

(Arkansas River system), Verdigris, 

Black, Buffalo, Little, Ouachita, Saline, 

Middle Fork Little Red, Spring (White 

River system), South Fork Spring, 

Strawberry, White, St. Francis, Big 

Sunflower, Big Black, Paint Rock, Duck, 

Tennessee, Red, Ohio, Allegheny, 

Green, Tippecanoe, Walhonding, 

Middle Branch North Fork Vermilion, 

and North Fork Vermilion Rivers and 

Bear, French, Muddy, Little Darby and 

Fish Creeks in Alabama, Arkansas, 

Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, 

Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, 

Pennsylvania, and Tennessee. That 

proposal had a 60-day comment period, 

ending December 17, 2012. 

On May 9, 2013, we announced the 

reopening of the comment period for the 

proposed listing of Neosho mucket and
