ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Iowa the State 

Implementation Plan (SIP), the 111(d) 

plan, and the Operating Permits 

Program. These revisions update and 

clarify rules and make minor revisions 

and corrections. Approval of these 

revisions will ensure consistency 

between the state and Federallyapproved rules, and ensure Federal 

enforceability of the state’s revised air 

program rules. In the ‘‘Rules and 

Regulations’’ section of this Federal 

Register, we are approving the state’s 

SIP revisions as a direct final rule 

without a prior proposed rule. EPA is 

taking direct final action because we 

view this as a noncontroversial action 

and anticipate no relevant adverse 

comment. We have explained our 

reasons for these actions in the 

Technical Support Document that is 

included with this docket. If we receive 

no adverse comment, we will not take 

further action on this proposed rule. 

DATES: Comments must be received by 

October 16, 2017. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– 

OAR–2017–0470, to https://

instructions for submitting comments. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be 

edited or removed from Regulations.gov. 

The EPA may publish any comment 

received to its public docket. Do not 

submit electronically any information 

you consider to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Multimedia 

submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be 

accompanied by a written comment. 

The written comment is considered the 

official comment and should include 

discussion of all points you wish to 

make. EPA will generally not consider 

comments or comment contents located 

outside of the primary submission (i.e. 

on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 

system). For additional submission 

methods, the full EPA public comment 

policy, information about CBI or
