I. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve revisions to the Iowa 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. Chapters with revisions 

are as follows: 

• Chapter 20—Scope of Title— 

Definitions 

• Chapter 21—Compliance 

• Chapter 22—Controlling Pollution* 

• Chapter 23—Emission Standards for 

Contaminants 

• Chapter 25—Measurement of 

Emissions 

• Chapter 26—Prevention of Emergency 

Pollution Episodes 

• Chapter 27—Certificate of Acceptance 

• Chapter 28—Ambient Air Quality 

Standards 

• Chapter 31—Nonattainment Areas 

• Chapter 33—Special Regulations and 

Construction Permit Requirements for 

Major Stationary Sources—Prevention 

of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of 

Air Quality 

* Title V Operating Permit Program 

rules are included in Chapter 22 starting 

at 22.100. 

II. What SIP revisions are being 

approved by EPA? 

EPA is approving SIP revisions 

submitted by the state of Iowa to update 

and clarify rules, and make minor 

revisions and corrections. EPA analyzed 

the SIP revisions and determined that 

air quality will not be impacted, and 

revisions are consistent with Federal 

regulations. Revisions to the SIP are as 

follows: 

The title to chapter 20 is revised to 

‘‘Scope of Title—Definitions,’’ which 

more accurately describes what is 

included in the Chapter. With the 

chapter title revision, the summaries of 

each chapter of the air quality rules are 

revised at 20.1. The definition of EPA 

reference method (20.2) is revised to 

adopt the most current Federal revisions 

to EPA methods for measuring air 

pollutant emissions. 

Subrule 21.1(4) of the SIP is 

rescinded. This subrule applied to the 

emission inventory requirements for the 

Clean Air Interstate Rule which was 

rescinded by EPA. The rescission of this 

rule does not impact air quality. 

With regard to chapter 22 which 

addresses permitting requirements for 

existing sources, a revision is made to 

22.1(1)‘‘b’’ to remove the Federal 

amendment date for the referenced 

Federal regulation, and adds language to 

refer to the state rule in which the 

Federal regulation is adopted by 

reference. This revision removes 

redundancy from the state rules. A 

revision is made to 22.1(1)‘‘c’’(2) to 

adopt the most recent changes to 

Federal air quality control strategies for 

lead. 

Subrule 22.1(2) revisions update 

exemptions from construction 

permitting in the introductory 

paragraph to clarify that facilities 

applying for plantwide applicability 

limitations as specified in rule 33.9, are 

eligible to use construction permitting 

exemptions. The fuel-burning 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES

43304 Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 

equipment exemption (22.1(2)‘‘b’’) is 

revised to add ‘‘indirect’’ cooling to be 

consistent with Federal regulations. The 

air compressors and vacuum pumps 

exemption (22.1(2)‘‘x’’) are revised to 

remove a misplaced comma; the 

production welding exemption 

(22.1(2)‘‘ff’’) is revised to correct an 

error in a technical equation, and the 

non-road diesel fuel engines with a 

brake horsepower rating of less than 

1,100 at full load exemption, 

(22.1(2)‘‘oo’’) is updated to correct 

grammar and to revise the reference to 

Federal regulations. The revisions to 

exemptions to construction permitting 

do not impact air quality. 

Revisions are being made to 22.1(3) to 

revise the number of copies of 

construction permit applications. 

Clarification with regard to new or 

modified anaerobic lagoon construction 

permits directs the reader to 567— 

chapter 65, which are regulations for 

animal feeding operating and are not 

subject to the air permitting rules in 

567—chapter 22. Paragraph 22.1(3)‘‘b’’ 

is revised to include instructions for 

submitting applications on forms 

available from the Web site. 

Subrule 23.3(1) (Specific 

contaminants—general) is revised to 

clarify that facility operations subject to 

new source performance standards are 

not subject to the emission standards 

specified in rule 23.3. 

Chapter 25—Measurement of 

Emissions—is revised at 25.1(9) to adopt 

revised Federal methods for emissions 

testing and monitoring, and adds 

language to clarify the alternative 

methodology for performance test (stack 

test) and continuous monitoring 

systems. This revision insures that only 

current Federal test methods are used to 

demonstrate compliance with permit 

conditions and that required test 

methods are no more stringent than 

Federal methods. 

Revisions to chapter 26—Prevention 

of Air Pollution Emergency Episodes— 

reflect the current Federal levels and 

terminology for air pollution emergency 

episodes for ozone and particulate 

matter that are used in making 

determinations for the declaration of an 

emergency episode condition. A 

punctuation correction is being made to 

‘‘Declarations.’’ The revisions are 

consistent with Federal regulations and 

do not impact air quality. 

Chapter 27 applies to political 

subdivisions. Revisions are being made 

to 27.1(2), to correct the reference to the 

Iowa Administrative Code (455B.139) as 

it applies to emergency orders. 

Revisions to 27.3(4)‘‘c’’ ensure the local 

programs variance procedures and rules 

are consistent with the state’s, which 

were approved in to the SIP in 1972 and 

revised through 2007. 

Revisions to chapter 28—State-wide 

standards—adopt by reference revisions 

to the National Ambient Air Quality 

Standards (NAAQS) for PM2.5. The 

PM2.5 standard was revised in 2012 to 

increase protection to public health and 

the environment. Iowa determined that 

no other changes to air quality rules are 

needed to implement the revised 

NAAQS for PM2.5. 

The general conformity rule at 31.2 is 

rescinded and reserved. The 

requirement for states to include general 

conformity requirements in any SIP 

submitted for a nonattainment area was 

eliminated in 2005. The rescission of 

this rule does not impact air quality. 

Chapter 33 applies to special 

regulations and construction permit 

requirements for major stationary 

sources—prevention of significant 

deterioration (PSD) of air quality. The 

introductory paragraph to 33.1, the 

definition of ‘‘subject to regulation’’ 

(33.3(1)), ‘‘exemptions’’ (33.3(9)), and 

‘‘source impact analysis’’ (33.3(11)) are 

revised to reflect Federal revisions to 

the PSD program. ‘‘Subject to 

regulation’’ (33.3(1)) is also revised to 

remove thresholds as related to 

greenhouse gases. This revision is 

identical to the changes EPA made to 

Federal PSD regulations on August 19, 

2015. An inaccurate table title is 

removed at 33.3(20), (‘‘Conditions for 

permit issuance’’). 

Subrule 33.3(22)—Permit 

Rescission—is revised to allow for 

rescission of PSD permits that are no 

longer required for a source classified as 

a major for PSD solely because of the 

source’s greenhouse gas emissions, or 

for a source emitting major levels of 

other pollutants that underwent a 

modification resulting in an increase of 

only greenhouse gas emissions above 

the levels specified for a major 

modification. This revision is consistent 

with Federal revisions to the PSD 

program in 40 CFR 52.21(w) published 

on May 7, 2015 and August 19, 2015. 

III. What 111(d) plan revisions are 

being approved by EPA? 

EPA is approving a revision to Iowa’s 

111(d) plan for municipal solid waste 

landfill emissions to correct an error in 

the emission guidelines to clarify that 

landfills must meet both the size and 

weight requirements indicated in 

23.1(5)‘‘a’’(3)‘‘1’’. 

IV. What operating permit plan 

revisions are being approved by EPA? 

EPA is approving revisions to Iowa’s 

operating permits program submitted by 

the state of Iowa to update and clarify 

rules, and make minor revisions and 

corrections. 

The following definitions (22.100) are 

revised to update references to current 

Federal regulations: ‘‘Designated 

representative,’’ ‘‘EPA reference 

method,’’ and ‘‘Subject to regulation.’’ 

In addition to revising the updated 

reference to Federal regulations, 

‘‘Existing hazardous air pollutant 

source,’’ and ‘‘High-risk pollutant’’ are 

revised to remove the Federal 

amendment dates and add crossreferences to state rules that are adopted 

by reference. ‘‘Major source’’ is revised 

to add ‘‘or treated as classified’’ to major 

stationary sources in nonattainment 

areas. 

Subrule 22.103(2)‘‘b’’ which refers to 

insignificant activities under the 

operating permits program, is revised to 

add indirect cooling to the description 

of fuel-burning equipment that may be 

classified as an insignificant activity, 

and updates the references to Federal 

regulations for burning used oil. 

Rule 22.105—Title V permit 

applications—is revised to update the 

address of the EPA Region 7 regional 

office, and adds that facilities that 

submitted a Title V application with a 

previously-submitted annual emissions 

inventory need not resubmit the 

emissions inventory. 

Rule 22.108—Permit content—is 

revised to include the most recent 

reference to Federal regulations. 

V. Have the requirements for approval 

of the SIP, 111(d) plan, and operating 

permit plan revisions been met? 

The state submittal has met the public 

notice requirements for SIP submissions 

in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The 

submittal also satisfied the 

completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, 

appendix V. In addition, as explained 

previously and in more detail in the 

TSD which is part of this docket, these 

revisions meet the substantive SIP 

requirements of the CAA, including 

section 110 and implementing 

regulations. These revisions are also 

consistent with applicable EPA 

requirements of the 111(d) plan 

submission and Title V of the CAA and 

40 CFR part 70. 

VI. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve revisions to the Iowa State 

Implementation Plan (SIP), the 111(d) 

plan, and the Operating Permits 

Program. These revisions update and 

clarify rules and makes minor revisions 

and corrections. Approval of these 

revisions will ensure consistency 

between the state and Federallyapproved rules, and ensure Federal 

mstockstill on DSK30JT082PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 82, No. 178 / Friday, September 15, 2017 / Rules and Regulations 43305

enforceability of the state’s revised air 

program rules. 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 TSD that is included with this 

docket. 

However, in the ‘‘Proposed Rules’’ 

section of this Federal Register, we are 

publishing a separate document that 

will serve as the proposed rule to 

approve the SIP revision if adverse 

comments are received on this direct 

final rule. We will not institute a second 

comment period on this action. Any 

parties interested in commenting must 

do so at this time. For further 

information about commenting on this 

rule, see the ADDRESSES section of this 

document. If EPA receives adverse 

comment, we will publish a timely 

withdrawal in the Federal Register 

informing the public that this direct 

final rule will not take effect. We will 

address all public comments in any 

subsequent final rule based on the 

proposed rule. 

VII. Incorporation by Reference 

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 direct final 

amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 

below. Therefore, these materials have 

been approved by EPA for inclusion in 

the SIP, have been incorporated by 

reference by EPA into that plan, are 

fully Federally enforceable under 

sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of 

the effective date of the final rulemaking 

of EPA’s approval, and will be 

incorporated by reference by the 

Director of the Federal Register in the 

next update to the SIP compilation.1

EPA has made, and will continue to 

make, these materials generally 

available through https://

www.regulations.gov and/or at the EPA 

Region 7 Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT; section of this 

preamble for more information). 

VIII. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

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 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 

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). 

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 November 14, 2017. 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)).
