ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52 and 70
[R07-OAR-2005-IA-0002; FRL-7906-8]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Operating
Permits Program; State of Iowa
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by the state of Iowa for the purpose of clarifying
that only untreated wood, seeds, pellets and other vegetative matter
may be burned in fuel burning equipment and residential heating units;
to remove a reference to a boiler that was removed at a power and water
facility, and to clarify the language with regard to continuous
emissions monitoring. One administrative correction to the operating
permit program is also included in this revision. Approval of these
revisions will ensure consistency between the state and Federally-
approved rules, and ensure Federal enforceability of the state's
revised air program rules.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
June 1, 2005.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Heather Hamilton, Environmental
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Comments may also be submitted
electronically or through hand delivery/courier; please follow the
detailed instructions in the Addresses section of the direct final rule
which is located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Heather Hamilton at (913) 551-7039, or
by e-mail at [email protected].
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 rule
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 comment 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.
Dated: April 22, 2005.
