I. Background and Purpose 

II. Final Action 

III. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

I. Background and Purpose 

On February 22, 2022, EPA published 

a notice of proposed rulemaking 

(NPRM) for the State of Iowa. See 87 FR 

9477. The NPRM proposed approval of 

an Iowa SIP revision that addresses the 

CAA requirement prohibiting emissions 

from the State that significantly 

contribute to nonattainment or interfere 

with maintenance of the 2015 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS in other states. See CAA 

section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) (the ‘‘good 

neighbor provision’’). The SIP revision 

was submitted to EPA by Iowa on 

November 30, 2018. The rationale for 

EPA’s proposed action is given in the 

NPRM and will not be repeated here. 

The EPA solicited comments on the 

proposed revision to Iowa’s SIP and 

received no comments. 

II. Final Action 

EPA is approving an Iowa SIP 

revision, which was submitted on 

November 30, 2018. This submission is 

approved as meeting CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) requirements that 

Iowa’s SIP includes adequate provisions 

prohibiting any source or other type of 

emissions activity within the State from 

emitting any air pollutant in amounts 

that will contribute significantly to 

nonattainment or interfere with 

maintenance of the 2015 ozone NAAQS 

in any other state. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under the Clean Air Act (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 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 the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTA) because this 

rulemaking does not involve technical 

standards; 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). 

• 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 action is subject to the 

Congressional Review Act, and the EPA 

will submit a rule report to each House 

of the Congress and to the Comptroller 

General of the United States. This action 

is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as defined by 5 

U.S.C. 804(2). 

• 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 June 14, 2022. 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)).

Pesticide Product Performance Data 

Requirements for Products Claiming 

Efficacy Against Certain Invertebrate 

Pests 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is codifying product 

performance data requirements to 

support registration of pesticidal 

products claiming efficacy against three 

categories of invertebrate pests: Those 

identified to be of significant public 

health importance (e.g., ticks, 

mosquitoes, cockroaches, etc.), wooddestroying insects (e.g., termites), and 

certain invasive invertebrate species 

(e.g., Asian longhorned beetle). The 

latter two categories are pests 

considered to be of significant economic 

or ecological importance. Product 

performance data (efficacy studies) 

document how well the pesticide 

performs the intended function, such as 

killing or repelling, against an 

invertebrate pest. 

DATES: This final rule is effective on 

June 14, 2022. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a 

docket for this action under docket 

identification (ID) number EPA–HQ– 

OPP–2020–0124. All documents in the 

docket are listed on the https://

www.regulations.gov website. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, e.g., 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 electronically 

through https://www.regulations.gov.
