ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action to
approve a revision submitted by the
State of Iowa. The purpose of these
revisions is to update the Polk County
Board of Health Rules and Regulations,
Chapter V, Air Pollution. This final
action will reflect updates to the Iowa’s
statewide rules previously approved by
EPA and will ensure consistency
between applicable local agency rules
and Federally-approved rules.

SUMMARY:
VerDate Sep<11>2014
13:54 Jul 08, 2016
Jkt 238001
The State of Iowa requested EPA
approval of revisions to the local
agency’s rules and regulations, Chapter
V, Air Pollution, as a revision to the
State Implementation Plan (SIP). In
order for the local program’s Air
Pollution rules to be incorporated into
the Federally-enforceable SIP, on behalf
of the local agency, the state must
submit the formally adopted regulations
and control strategies, which are
consistent with the state and Federal
requirements, to EPA for inclusion in
the SIP. The regulation adoption process
generally includes public notice, a
public comment period and a public
hearing, and formal adoption of the rule
by the state authorized rulemaking
body. In this case, that rulemaking body
is the local agency. After the local
agency formally adopts the rule, the
local agency submits the rulemaking to
the state, and then the state submits the
rulemaking to EPA for consideration for
formal action (inclusion of the
PO 00000
Frm 00037
Fmt 4700

44795
rulemaking into the SIP). EPA must
provide public notice and seek
additional public comment regarding
the proposed Federal action on the
state’s submission.
EPA received the request from the
state to adopt revisions to the local air
agency rules into the SIP on December
8, 2015. The revisions were adopted by
the local agency on October 6, 2015, and
became effective on October 12, 2015.
EPA is approving the requested
revisions to the Iowa SIP relating to the
following:
• Article I. In General, Section 5–1.
Purpose and Ambient Air Quality
Standards;
• Article I. In General, Section 5–2.
Definitions;
• Article X. Permits, Division 1.
Construction Permits, Section 5–33.
Exemptions from Permit Requirements;
• Article X. Permits, Division 2.
Operating Permits, Section 5–39.
Exemptions from Permit Requirement.
EPA’s action does not cover revisions
to:
• Article VI. Emission of Air
Contaminants from Industrial Processes,
New Source Performance Standards,
Section 5–16(n),
• Article VIII. National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Source Categories, Section 5–16(p),
and,
• Article VIII. National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
for Source Categories, Section 5–20.
EPA is also approving the definition
of Maximum Achievable Control
Technology (MACT) that was
inadvertently omitted from the January
12, 2015, Federal Register notice that
approved the September 2013 revisions
to the Polk County Board of Health
Rules and Regulations, Chapter V, Air
Pollution. 80 FR 1471. The definition of
MACT is not referenced elsewhere in
Polk County’s Federally approved
rules.1
II. Have the requirements for approval
of a SIP revision been met?
The state submission has met the
public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR
51.102. The submission also satisfied
the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part
51, appendix V. In addition, as
explained above and in more detail in
the technical support document which
is part of this docket, the revision meets
the substantive SIP requirements of the
CAA, including section 110 and
implementing regulations.
1 Chapter V, Subchapter 5–20 National Emission
Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP)
for Source Categories is not Federally approved.

III. EPA’s Response to Comments
The public comment period on EPA’s
proposed regulation opened February
16, 2016, the date of its publication in
the Federal Register, and closed on
March 18, 2016. (81 FR 8030). During
this period, EPA received one comment,
with two separate issues, that are
addressed as follows:
Comment: First, the commenter stated
that it was not clear if the Polk County
local air agency issues Prevention of
Significant (PSD) permits for Polk
County or if the state agency issues PSD
permits. Second, the commenter stated
that the SIP submission contained an
illegal startup, shutdown, malfunction
(SSM) exemption and that EPA could
not approve the SIP submission until
the SSM exemption was removed.
Response to comment: First, Iowa has
a delegated PSD program that is not
delegated to local air agencies. 72 FR
27056, May 14, 2007. PSD permits are
only issued by the Iowa Department of
Natural Resources. No changes will be
made in response to this comment.
Second, in response to the
commenter’s concern that the SIP
contains an illegal SSM exemption in
Article VI, Section 5–17(a) of the Polk
County Board of Health Rules and
Regulations, the revisions to the Iowa
SIP that EPA is approving are
definitions and construction permitting
exemptions that do not relate to
automatic exemptions from otherwise
applicable SIP emissions limitations
during periods of startup, shutdown or
malfunction. In addition, in response to
the commenter’s concern, Iowa
requested that the EPA not act on a
reference in the Polk County Board of
Health Rules and Regulations to 567
Iowa Administrative Code (IAC) Chapter
24, as a subsection of that provision is
subject to EPA’s June 12, 2015 SSM SIP
Call. 80 FR 33839.
IV. What action is EPA taking?
ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES
EPA is taking final action to approve
this SIP revision to update the Polk
County board of Health Rules and
Regulations, Chapter V, Air Pollution.
This final action will reflect updates to
the Iowa’s statewide rules previously
approved by EPA and will ensure
consistency between applicable local
agency rules and Federally-approved
rules.
Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing
regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In
accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation
by reference of the Iowa Regulations

described in the direct final
amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth
below. EPA has made, and will continue
to make, these documents generally
available electronically through https://
www.regulations.gov and at the
appropriate EPA office (see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble for
more information).
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, 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 CAA. 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 Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735,
October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821,
January 21, 2011);
• 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 CAA; 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).

The SIP is not approved to apply on
any Indian reservation land or in any
other area where EPA or an Indian tribe
has demonstrated that a tribe has
jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian
country, the rule does not have tribal
implications and will not impose
substantial direct costs on tribal
governments or preempt tribal law as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
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 CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by September 9, 2016. 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. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2).)

I. What is being addressed in this document?
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
III. EPA's Response to Comments
IV. What action is EPA taking?
I. What is being addressed in this document?
The State of Iowa requested EPA approval of revisions to the local
agency's rules and regulations, Chapter V, Air Pollution, as a revision
to the State Implementation Plan (SIP). In order for the local
program's Air Pollution rules to be incorporated into the Federally-
enforceable SIP, on behalf of the local agency, the state must submit
the formally adopted regulations and control strategies, which are
consistent with the state and Federal requirements, to EPA for
inclusion in the SIP. The regulation adoption process generally
includes public notice, a public comment period and a public hearing,
and formal adoption of the rule by the state authorized rulemaking
body. In this case, that rulemaking body is the local agency. After the
local agency formally adopts the rule, the local agency submits the
rulemaking to the state, and then the state submits the rulemaking to
EPA for consideration for formal action (inclusion of the rulemaking
into the SIP). EPA must provide public notice and seek additional
public comment regarding the proposed Federal action on the state's
submission.
EPA received the request from the state to adopt revisions to the
local air agency rules into the SIP on December 8, 2015. The revisions
were adopted by the local agency on October 6, 2015, and became
effective on October 12, 2015. EPA is approving the requested revisions
to the Iowa SIP relating to the following:
Article I. In General, Section 5-1. Purpose and Ambient
Air Quality Standards;
Article I. In General, Section 5-2. Definitions;
Article X. Permits, Division 1. Construction Permits,
Section 5-33. Exemptions from Permit Requirements;
Article X. Permits, Division 2. Operating Permits, Section
5-39. Exemptions from Permit Requirement.
EPA's action does not cover revisions to:
Article VI. Emission of Air Contaminants from Industrial
Processes, New Source Performance Standards, Section 5-16(n),
Article VIII. National Emission Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants for Source Categories, Section 5-16(p), and,
Article VIII. National Emission Standards for Hazardous
Air Pollutants for Source Categories, Section 5-20.
EPA is also approving the definition of Maximum Achievable Control
Technology (MACT) that was inadvertently omitted from the January 12,
2015, Federal Register notice that approved the September 2013
revisions to the Polk County Board of Health Rules and Regulations,
Chapter V, Air Pollution. 80 FR 1471. The definition of MACT is not
referenced elsewhere in Polk County's Federally approved rules.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ Chapter V, Subchapter 5-20 National Emission Standards for
Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) for Source Categories is not
Federally approved.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
The state submission has met the public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The submission also
satisfied the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. In
addition, as explained above and in more detail in the technical
support document which is part of this docket, the revision meets the
substantive SIP requirements of the CAA, including section 110 and
implementing regulations.

III. EPA's Response to Comments
The public comment period on EPA's proposed regulation opened
February 16, 2016, the date of its publication in the Federal Register,
and closed on March 18, 2016. (81 FR 8030). During this period, EPA
received one comment, with two separate issues, that are addressed as
follows:
Comment: First, the commenter stated that it was not clear if the
Polk County local air agency issues Prevention of Significant (PSD)
permits for Polk County or if the state agency issues PSD permits.
Second, the commenter stated that the SIP submission contained an
illegal startup, shutdown, malfunction (SSM) exemption and that EPA
could not approve the SIP submission until the SSM exemption was
removed.
Response to comment: First, Iowa has a delegated PSD program that
is not delegated to local air agencies. 72 FR 27056, May 14, 2007. PSD
permits are only issued by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources. No
changes will be made in response to this comment.
Second, in response to the commenter's concern that the SIP
contains an illegal SSM exemption in Article VI, Section 5-17(a) of the
Polk County Board of Health Rules and Regulations, the revisions to the
Iowa SIP that EPA is approving are definitions and construction
permitting exemptions that do not relate to automatic exemptions from
otherwise applicable SIP emissions limitations during periods of
startup, shutdown or malfunction. In addition, in response to the
commenter's concern, Iowa requested that the EPA not act on a reference
in the Polk County Board of Health Rules and Regulations to 567 Iowa
Administrative Code (IAC) Chapter 24, as a subsection of that provision
is subject to EPA's June 12, 2015 SSM SIP Call. 80 FR 33839.
IV. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is taking final action to approve this SIP revision to update
the Polk County board of Health Rules and Regulations, Chapter V, Air
Pollution. This final action will reflect updates to the Iowa's
statewide rules previously approved by EPA and will ensure consistency
between applicable local agency rules and Federally-approved rules.
Incorporation by Reference
In this rule, EPA is finalizing regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. In accordance with requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, EPA is finalizing the incorporation by reference of the Iowa
Regulations described in the direct final amendments to 40 CFR part 52
set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
documents generally available electronically through https://www.regulations.gov and at the appropriate EPA office (see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more information).
Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, 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 CAA. 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 Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
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 CAA; 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).
The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
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 CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by September 9, 2016. 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. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)
