ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[IA 187-1187; FRL-7569-8]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Iowa
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve a revision to the State Implementation
Plan (SIP) submitted by the state of Iowa. The purpose of this revision
is to approve the 1998 and 2000 updates to the Polk County Board of
Health Rules and Regulations, Air Pollution, Chapter V. These revisions
will help to ensure consistency between the applicable local agency
rules and Federally-approved rules, and ensure Federal enforceability
of the applicable parts of the local agency air programs.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
November 7, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted either by mail or electronically.
Written comments should be mailed to Heather Hamilton, Environmental
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th
http://www.regulations.gov, which is an alternative method for submitting
electronic comments to EPA. To submit comments, please follow the
detailed instructions described in ``What action is EPA taking'' in the
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the direct final rule which is
located in the rules section of the Federal Register.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Heather Hamilton at (913) 551-7039, or by e-mail at hamilton.heather@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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: September 25, 2003.
