ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 70
[IA 183-1183; FRL-7559-7]
Approval and Promulgation of Operating Permits Program; State of
Iowa
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve revisions to the Iowa Operating
Permits Program for air pollution control submitted to EPA on March 11,
2002, and July 17, 2002. This action proposes approval of numerous
rules adopted by the state in 2002. Iowa rule revisions addressed in
this action pertain to the deadlines for which an application for a
significant modification is due, and Title V insignificant activities,
and insignificant emission levels. Approval of these revisions will
ensure consistency between the state and federally-approved rules.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
October 16, 2003.
ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted either by mail or electronically.
Written comments should be mailed to Judith Robinson, Environmental
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Electronic comments should be sent
either to robinson.judith@epa.gov or to 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: Judith Robinson at (913) 551-7825, or
by e-mail at robinson.judith@epa.gov.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's operating permits program
revisions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision amendment and
anticipates no relevant adverse
[[Page 54196]]
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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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. See the
information provided in the direct final rule which is located in the
rules section of the Federal Register.
Dated: September 4, 2003.
William W. Rice,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 7.
