I. What is being addressed in this
document?
The State has revised Chapter 22 of
the State air pollution control rules
promulgated by the State’s
Environmental Protection Commission.
EPA is approving the revisions
described below for the reasons
discussed in this document.
II. What revisions is EPA approving?
The State made revisions to Chapter
22, ‘‘Controlling Pollution,’’ to clarify the
terms and conditions of permit
exemptions for certain internal
combustion engines and spray booths.
Those revisions are described in this
document.
The State added a requirement to
Iowa Rule 567–22.1(2)‘‘r’’ that the owner
or operator of an internal combustion
engine with a brake horsepower of less
than 400, measured at the shaft, must
submit a certification to the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources that
the engine is in compliance with
Federal New Source Performance
Standards listed at 40 CFR Part 60,
Subpart IIII or Subpart JJJJ and Federal
National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS)
listed at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ.
The State amended Iowa Rule 567–
22.8(1) to add clarification that the
facilities, which spray one gallon per
day or less of sprayed material on a
facility-wide basis, are exempt from all
other requirements of Iowa Rule 567–22
with the exception that the owner or
operator must adhere to record keeping
requirements specified in the rule for
the sprayed material. The revision also
requires that the owner or operator must
certify that the facility is in compliance
with or otherwise exempt from the
Federal regulations specified in Iowa
Rule 567–22.8(1)‘‘e’’ (the NESHAPS for
paint stripping and surface coating at
area sources, and the NESHAPS for
metal fabricating and finishing at area
sources).
The State added amendments to the
same rule clarifying that facilities,
which spray more than one gallon per
day but never more than three gallons
per day on a facility-wide basis, are
exempt from all other requirements of
Iowa State Rule 567–22 except the
owner or operator must adhere to
certification, recordkeeping and
emissions venting requirements as
identified in the rule. The State added
a requirement that the owner or operator
must certify that the facility is in
compliance with or otherwise exempt
from the Federal regulations specified in
Iowa Rule 567–22.8(1)‘‘e’’ (described
above).

05MRR1
Federal Register / Vol. 75, No. 43 / Friday, March 5, 2010 / Rules and Regulations
erowe on DSK5CLS3C1PROD with RULES
The State added language clarifying
that facilities, which spray more than
three gallons per day on a facility-wide
basis, are not eligible to use the permit
by rule for spray booths and must apply
for a construction permit as required by
subrules 567–22.1(1) and 567–22.1(3)
unless otherwise exempt.
The State added language explaining
its requirements for the ‘‘Notification
Letter.’’ Facilities which claim to be
permitted by provisions of the rule must
submit a notification letter, on forms
provided by the State, certifying that the
facility meets the following
requirements:
(1) All paint booths and associated
equipment are in compliance with the
provisions of Iowa Rule 567–22.8(1);
(2) All paint booths and associated
equipment are in compliance with all
applicable requirements, including but
not limited to, the allowable particulate
emission rate for painting and surface
coating operations of 0.01 gr/scf of
exhaust gas as specified in Iowa Rule
567–23.4(13); and
(3) All paint booths and associated
equipment are in compliance with or
otherwise exempt from the Federal
NESHAPS at 40 CFR Part 63, subpart
HHHHHH.
This revision also amends the
numbering system of Iowa Rule 567–
22.8(1)‘‘e’’ to allow for the addition of
the requirements of the notification
letter.
III. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is taking final action to approve
the revisions to the Iowa SIP. The
revisions submitted pertain to
corrections, clarifications and
improvements as listed previously in
this document. These modifications
either clarify existing requirements or
add additional requirements for sources
to qualify for permit exemptions.
Therefore, EPA has determined that the
revisions will not adversely affect the
air quality in the State of Iowa and will
not relax the SIP.
The state submittal has met the public
notice requirements for SIP submissions
in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The
submittal also satisfied the
completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51,
appendix V. The revisions meet the
substantive SIP requirements of the
CAA, including section 110 and
implementing regulations.
EPA is processing this action as a
direct final action because the revisions
make changes to the existing rules
which are noncontroversial. Therefore,
we do not anticipate any adverse
comments. Please note that if EPA
receives adverse comment on part of
this rule and if that part can be severed
VerDate Nov<24>2008
14:25 Mar 04, 2010
Jkt 220001
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.
IV. Statutory and Executive Order
Reviews
Under the Clean Air Act, the
Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the
provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k);
40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in reviewing SIP
submissions, EPA’s role is to approve
state choices, provided that they meet
the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely
approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose
additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason,
this action:
• Is not a ‘‘significant regulatory
action’’ subject to review by the Office
of Management and Budget under
Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993);
• Does not impose an information
collection burden under the provisions
of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44
U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
• Is certified as not having a
significant economic impact on a
substantial number of small entities
under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5
U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
• Does not contain any unfunded
mandate or significantly or uniquely
affect small governments, as described
in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act
of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4);
• Does not have Federalism
implications as specified in Executive
Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10,
1999);
• Is not an economically significant
regulatory action based on health or
safety risks subject to Executive Order
13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997);
• Is not a significant regulatory action
subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR
28355, May 22, 2001);
• Is not subject to requirements of
Section 12(d) of the National
Technology Transfer and Advancement
Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because
application of those requirements would
be inconsistent with the Clean Air Act;
and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
appropriate, disproportionate human
health or environmental effects, using
practicable and legally permissible
methods, under Executive Order 12898
(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have
tribal implications as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249,
PO 00000
Frm 00019
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
10183
November 9, 2000), because the SIP is
not approved to apply in Indian country
located in the state, and EPA notes that
it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt
tribal law.
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean
Air Act, petitions for judicial review of
this action must be filed in the United
States Court of Appeals for the
appropriate circuit by May 4, 2010.
Filing a petition for reconsideration by
the Administrator of this final rule does
not affect the finality of this action for
the purposes of judicial review nor does
it extend the time within which a
petition for judicial review may be filed,
and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. Parties with
objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in
response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action
published in the proposed rules section
of today’s Federal Register, rather than
file an immediate petition for judicial
review of this direct final rule, so that
EPA can withdraw this direct final rule
and address the comment in the
proposed rulemaking. This action may
not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What is being addressed in this document?
The State has revised Chapter 22 of the State air pollution control
rules promulgated by the State's Environmental Protection Commission.
EPA is approving the revisions described below for the reasons
discussed in this document.
II. What revisions is EPA approving?
The State made revisions to Chapter 22, ``Controlling Pollution,''
to clarify the terms and conditions of permit exemptions for certain
internal combustion engines and spray booths. Those revisions are
described in this document.
The State added a requirement to Iowa Rule 567-22.1(2)``r'' that
the owner or operator of an internal combustion engine with a brake
horsepower of less than 400, measured at the shaft, must submit a
certification to the Iowa Department of Natural Resources that the
engine is in compliance with Federal New Source Performance Standards
listed at 40 CFR Part 60, Subpart IIII or Subpart JJJJ and Federal
National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAPS)
listed at 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart ZZZZ.
The State amended Iowa Rule 567-22.8(1) to add clarification that
the facilities, which spray one gallon per day or less of sprayed
material on a facility-wide basis, are exempt from all other
requirements of Iowa Rule 567-22 with the exception that the owner or
operator must adhere to record keeping requirements specified in the
rule for the sprayed material. The revision also requires that the
owner or operator must certify that the facility is in compliance with
or otherwise exempt from the Federal regulations specified in Iowa Rule
567-22.8(1)``e'' (the NESHAPS for paint stripping and surface coating
at area sources, and the NESHAPS for metal fabricating and finishing at
area sources).
The State added amendments to the same rule clarifying that
facilities, which spray more than one gallon per day but never more
than three gallons per day on a facility-wide basis, are exempt from
all other requirements of Iowa State Rule 567-22 except the owner or
operator must adhere to certification, recordkeeping and emissions
venting requirements as identified in the rule. The State added a
requirement that the owner or operator must certify that the facility
is in compliance with or otherwise exempt from the Federal regulations
specified in Iowa Rule 567-22.8(1)``e'' (described above).
[[Page 10183]]
The State added language clarifying that facilities, which spray
more than three gallons per day on a facility-wide basis, are not
eligible to use the permit by rule for spray booths and must apply for
a construction permit as required by subrules 567-22.1(1) and 567-
22.1(3) unless otherwise exempt.
The State added language explaining its requirements for the
``Notification Letter.'' Facilities which claim to be permitted by
provisions of the rule must submit a notification letter, on forms
provided by the State, certifying that the facility meets the following
requirements:
(1) All paint booths and associated equipment are in compliance
with the provisions of Iowa Rule 567-22.8(1);
(2) All paint booths and associated equipment are in compliance
with all applicable requirements, including but not limited to, the
allowable particulate emission rate for painting and surface coating
operations of 0.01 gr/scf of exhaust gas as specified in Iowa Rule 567-
23.4(13); and
(3) All paint booths and associated equipment are in compliance
with or otherwise exempt from the Federal NESHAPS at 40 CFR Part 63,
subpart HHHHHH.
This revision also amends the numbering system of Iowa Rule 567-
22.8(1)``e'' to allow for the addition of the requirements of the
notification letter.
III. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is taking final action to approve the revisions to the Iowa
SIP. The revisions submitted pertain to corrections, clarifications and
improvements as listed previously in this document. These modifications
either clarify existing requirements or add additional requirements for
sources to qualify for permit exemptions. Therefore, EPA has determined
that the revisions will not adversely affect the air quality in the
State of Iowa and will not relax the SIP.
The state submittal has met the public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The submittal also

revisions meet the substantive SIP requirements of the CAA, including
section 110 and implementing regulations.

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.

Under the Clean Air Act, the Administrator is required to approve a
SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and
applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a).
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the Clean Air Act.
Accordingly, this action merely approves state law as meeting Federal
requirements and does not impose additional requirements beyond those
imposed by state law. For that reason, this action:
Is not a ``significant regulatory action'' subject to
review by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or
uniquely affect small governments, as described in the Unfunded
Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
Is not subject to requirements of Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the Clean Air Act; and
Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, petitions for
judicial review of this action must be filed in the United States Court
of Appeals for the appropriate circuit by May 4, 2010. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule
does not affect the finality of this action for the purposes of
judicial review nor does it extend the time within which a petition for
judicial review may be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness
of such rule or action. Parties with objections to this direct final
rule are encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel
notice of proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed
rules section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an
immediate petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so
that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in
the proposed rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in
proceedings to enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
