40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2013-0483; FRL-9905-20-Region 7]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Title V 
Operating Permit Program; State of Iowa

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 Iowa air quality rules to 
eliminate state-only emissions testing procedures and adopt Federal 
methods; to reduce notification time for portable plant relocations, 
and allow electronic submittals of notifications; to update air quality 
definitions to be consistent with Federal definitions, and to place 
into rule the specific procedures for conducting emissions testing.
    EPA is also proposing to approve revisions to the Iowa Title V 
Operating Permits Program to revise the definition of ``EPA Reference 
Method,'' and to adopt by reference the revised Title V Periodic 
Monitoring Guidance.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
February 18, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the state's revision to the SIP 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 rules 
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 comments 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.
