[R07-OAR-2005-IA-0005; FRL-7967-6]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; 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 establishing 
guidelines to identify stationary sources of air pollution potentially 
subject to Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) emission control 
requirements. Owners and operators of stationary sources meeting the 
eligibility criteria will be required to submit source identification 
and emission unit description information to the state by September 1, 
2005. BART-eligibility information is to be submitted on Iowa 
Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) form 542-8125 that lists 
facility information and emission unit identification and description. 
Annual emission totals in tons-per-year (potential) for 
PM10, NOX, SO2 and VOCs are also 
required.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
October 13, 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

[[Page 53975]]

final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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: August 30, 2005.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 7.
