Region 7] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Iowa; 

Update to Materials Incorporated by 

Reference 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; notice of 

administrative change.

Agency (EPA) is updating the materials 

submitted by Iowa that are incorporated 

by reference (IBR) into the state 

implementation plan (SIP). EPA is also 

notifying the public of the correction of 

certain typographical errors within the 

IBR table. The regulations affected by 

this update have been previously 

submitted by the state agency and 

approved by EPA. This update affects 

the SIP materials that are available for 

public inspection at the National 

Archives and Records Administration 

(NARA), and the Regional Office. 

DATES: This rule is effective on August 

14, 2015. 

ADDRESSES: SIP materials which are 

incorporated by reference into 40 CFR 

part 52 are available for inspection at 

the following locations: Environmental 

Protection Agency, Region 7, 11201 

Renner Boulevard, Lenexa, Kansas 

66219; or at http://www.epa.gov/

region07/air/rules/fedapprv.htm; For 

information on the availability of this 

material at NARA, call (202) 741–6030,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

The SIP is a living document which 

the state revises as necessary to address 

the unique air pollution problems in the 

state. Therefore, EPA from time to time 

must take action on SIP revisions 

containing new and/or revised 

regulations to make them part of the 

SIP. On May 22, 1997 (62 FR 27968), 

EPA revised the procedures for 

incorporating by reference Federallyapproved SIPs, as a result of 

consultations between EPA and the 

Office of Federal Register. The 

description of the revised SIP 

document, IBR procedures and 

‘‘Identification of plan’’ format are 

discussed in further detail in the May 

22, 1997, Federal Register document. 

On February 12, 1999, EPA published 

a document in the Federal Register (64 

FR 7091) beginning the new IBR 

procedure for Iowa. On September 23, 

2004 (69 FR 56942), and on July 29, 

2009, (74 FR 37556) EPA published an 

update to the IBR material for Iowa. 

In this document, EPA is publishing 

an updated set of tables listing the 

regulatory (i.e., IBR) materials in the 

Iowa SIP taking into account the 

additions, deletions, and revisions to 

those materials previously submitted by 

the state agency and approved by EPA. 

We are removing the EPA Headquarters 

Library from paragraph (b)(3), as IBR 

materials are no longer available at this 

location. In addition, EPA has found 

errors in certain entries listed in 40 CFR 

52.820(c), as amended in the published 

IBR update actions listed above, and is 

correcting them in this document. Table 

(c) revisions include: 

• Adding the inadvertent omission of 

the following explanation to the 

explanation column for 567.22.1 

(Permits Required for New or Existing 

Stationary Sources): In 22.1(3) the 

following sentence regarding electronic 

submission is not SIP approved. The 

sentence is ‘‘Alternatively, the owner or 

operator may apply for a construction 

permit for a new or modified stationary 

source through the electronic submittal 

format specified by the department’’. 

• Adding the inadvertent omission of 

the following explanation to the 

explanation column for 567–22.3 

(Issuing Permits): Subrule 22.3(6) has 

not been approved as part of the SIP. 

Subrule 22.3(6), Limits on Hazardous 

Air Pollutants, has been approved under 

Title V and section 112(l). The 

remainder of the rule has not been 

approved pursuant to Title V and 

section 112(l). 

• 567.22.105 (Title V Permit 

Applications): Correcting the state 

effective date, correcting the EPA 

approval date column to the correct date 

and Federal Register citation, and 

adding the inadvertent omission of the 

following explanation to the 

explanation column: In 22.105(1) Duty 

to apply the last sentence 

‘‘Alternatively, an owner or operator 

may submit a complete and timely 

application through the electronic 

submittal format specified by the 

department.’’ is not approved. In 

22.105(1) ‘‘a’’ new subparagraph (9) is 

not approved. 

• Adding the inadvertent omission of 

the following explanation to the 

explanation column for 567–23.1 

(Emission Standards): Sections 23.1(2)– 

(5) are not approved in the SIP. Section 

23.1(5) is approved as part of the 111(d) 

plan. 

Table (e) revisions include: 

• Adding text in the explanation 

column for (4)–(39). 

II. EPA Action 

In this action, EPA is doing the 

following: 

A. Announcing the update to the IBR 

material as of December 31, 2014; 

B. Revising the entry in paragraph 

52.820(b) to reflect the update and 

corrections; 

C. Revising certain entries in 

paragraph 52.820 (c) as described above; 

D. Correcting the date format in the 

‘‘State effective date’’ or ‘‘State 

submittal date’’ and ‘‘EPA approval 

date’’ columns in paragraphs 52.820 (c), 

(d) and (e). Dates are numerical month/ 

day/year without additional zeros; 

E. Modifying the Federal Register 

citation in paragraphs 52.820 (c), (d) and 

(e) to reflect the beginning page of the 

preamble as opposed to the page 

number of the regulatory text. 

EPA has determined that today’s rule 

falls under the ‘‘good cause’’ exemption 

in section 553(b)(3)(B) of the 

Administrative Procedures Act (APA) 

which, upon finding ‘‘good cause,’’ 

authorizes agencies to dispense with 

public participation and section 

553(d)(3), which allows an agency to 

make a rule effective immediately 

(thereby avoiding the 30-day delayed 

effective date otherwise provided for in 

the APA). Today’s rule simply codifies 

provisions which are already in effect as 

a matter of law in Federal and approved 

State programs. Under section 553 of the 

APA, an agency may find good cause 

where procedures are ‘‘impractical, 

unnecessary, or contrary to the public 

interest.’’ Public comment is 

‘‘unnecessary’’ and ‘‘contrary to the 

public interest’’ since the codification 

only reflects existing law. Immediate 

notice in the CFR benefits the public by 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 157 / Friday, August 14, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 48719 

providing notice of the updated Iowa 

SIP compilation. 

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 the Iowa regulations 

described in the 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 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’’ under the terms of Executive 

Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 

1993) and is therefore not subject to 

review under Executive Orders 12866 

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 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). 

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 

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). 

EPA has also determined that the 

provisions of section 307(b)(1) of the 

CAA pertaining to petitions for judicial 

review are not applicable to this action. 

Prior EPA rulemaking actions for each 

individual component of the Iowa SIP 

compilations previously afforded 

interested parties the opportunity to file 

a petition for judicial review in the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit within 60 days of 

such rulemaking action. Thus, EPA sees 

no need in this action to reopen the 60- 

day period for filing such petitions for 

judicial review for this ‘‘Identification of 

plan’’ reorganization update action for 

the State of Iowa.

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action to approve revisions to the 

Virginia State Implementation Plan 

(SIP). The revisions move the localities 

(Counties of Arlington, Fairfax, Loudon, 

and Prince William; Cities of 

Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, 

Manassas, and Manassas Park) of 

Northern Virginia from Virginia’s list of 

nonattainment areas to its list of 

maintenance areas for fine particulate 

matter (PM2.5). EPA is approving these 

revisions in accordance with the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). 

DATES: This rule is effective on October 

13, 2015 without further notice, unless 

EPA receives adverse written comment 

by September 14, 2015. If EPA receives 

such comments, it will publish a timely 

withdrawal of the direct final rule in the 

Federal Register and inform the public 

that the rule will not take effect. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID Number EPA–

0454. EPA’s policy is that all comments 

received will be included in the public 

docket without change, and may be 

made available online at 

www.regulations.gov, including any 

personal information provided, unless 

the comment includes information 

claimed to be Confidential Business 

Information (CBI) or other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 

Do not submit information that you 

consider to be CBI, or otherwise 

protected, through www.regulations.gov 

or email. The www.regulations.gov Web 

site is an ‘‘anonymous access’’ system, 

which means EPA will not know your 

identity or contact information unless 

you provide it in the body of your 

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to EPA without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your 

email address will be automatically 

captured and included as part of the 

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM 

you submit. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the 

electronic docket are listed in the 

www.regulations.gov index. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket 

materials are available either 

electronically in www.regulations.gov or 

in hard copy during normal business 

hours at the Air Protection Division,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

Particle pollution, or particulate 

matter, is a mixture of solid particles 

and liquid droplets found in the air. 

Particle pollution includes ‘‘inhalable 

coarse particles,’’ with diameters larger 

than 2.5 micrometers and smaller than 

10 micrometers and ‘‘fine particles,’’ 

with diameters that are 2.5 micrometers 

and smaller. Due to their small size, 

these particles often contribute to 

adverse health effects. EPA is required 

to set National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) under the authority 

of the CAA, for the purpose of 

controlling particle pollution. The first 

NAAQS for PM2.5 were established on 

July 16, 1997 (62 FR 38652). EPA 

promulgated an annual standard at a 

level of 15 micrograms per cubic meter 

(mg/m3), based on a three-year average of 

annual mean PM2.5 concentrations (the 

1997 annual PM2.5 standard). In the 

same rulemaking action, EPA 

promulgated a 24-hour standard of 65 

mg/m3, based on a three-year average of 

the 98th percentile of 24-hour 

concentrations. 

EPA published air quality area 

designations for the 1997 PM2.5

standards on January 5, 2005. In its 

rulemaking action, EPA designated the 

Washington, DC–MD–VA Area as 

nonattainment for the 1997 annual 

PM2.5 standard. The Washington, DC– 

MD–VA area (Washington Area) is 

composed of the District of Columbia; 

Arlington, Fairfax, Loudoun, and Prince 

William Counties and the cities of 

Alexandria, Fairfax, Falls Church, 

Manassas, and Manassas Park in 

Virginia (the Northern Virginia area); 

and Charles, Frederick, Montgomery,
