The State of Iowa implements an operating permits program applicable to certain sources of air pollution in the state. One EPA requirement for a Title V program is that the permitting state must establish a fee structure sufficient to cover the costs of the program (40 CFR 70.9(b)). Due to decreased emissions, and therefore, decreased Title V emission fees, Iowa analyzed program costs and determined that a new fee structure was necessary. The State increased the fixed dollar amount of $56 per ton to $70 per ton as the maximum Title V Operating Permit fee established on the first 4,000 tons of E:\FR\FM\09SER1.SGM 09SER1 62388 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 175 / Friday, September 9, 2016 / Rules and Regulations ehiers on DSK5VPTVN1PROD with RULES actual emissions for each regulated pollutant emitted from a source subject to the Title V operating permit program. The state determined the fee cap in order to accommodate greater flexibility in setting future Title V fees by estimating program expenses associated with projected actual emissions for fiscal year 2017. The submission package demonstrated compliance with 40 CFR 70.9(c), Fee Demonstration, and 40 CFR 70.9(d), Use of Required Fee Revenue. The new fee structure prompted the State of Iowa to add a new Chapter to the Iowa Administrative Code (IAC), 567–IAC Chapter 30, ‘‘Fees’’.1 Revisions with regard to fees in the Title V Operating Permits Program in 567–IAC Chapter 22, makes reference to 567–IAC Chapter 30, ‘‘Fees’’ in the following rules: • 22.100 ‘‘Definitions for Title V Permits’’; • 22.101 ‘‘Applicability of Title V Operating Permit Requirements’’; • 22.103 ‘‘Insignificant Activities’’; • 22.105 ‘‘Title V Permit Applications’’; • 22.106 ‘‘Title V Permit Fees’’; • 22.108 ‘‘Permit Content’’.

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. V. What action is EPA taking? EPA is approving the request to amend the Iowa Title V Operating Permits Program, the State Implementation Plan and the 112(l) plan. As noted previously in this document, the revision is consistent with applicable EPA requirements. The revision meets the requirements of the CAA, and implementing regulations. This revision is consistent with applicable EPA requirements in Title V of the CAA, 40 CFR part 70, and 40 CFR part 52. EPA is processing this action as a direct final action because the revisions make routine changes to the existing rules which are noncontroversial. Therefore, we do not anticipate any adverse comments. 2 62 PO 00000 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews Under the Clean Air Act (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 E:\FR\FM\09SER1.SGM 09SER1 62389 Federal Register / Vol. 81, No. 175 / Friday, September 9, 2016 / Rules and Regulations 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 November 8, 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).) Dated: August 24, 2016. Mark Hague, Regional Administrator, Region 7.

EPA determined that the Louisville area has attained the 1997 annual standard, and proposed on July 11, 2013, with a supplemental proposal on June 23, 2016, to approve Indiana’s request to redesignate the area. EPA is taking final action today on the proposal and supplemental proposal. EPA is also taking final action in this rulemaking on several related proposals. Along with granting the change in the area’s designation status, EPA is also approving Indiana’s PM2.5 maintenance plan for the Louisville area as a revision to the Indiana state implementation plan (SIP) as meeting the requirements of section 175A of the CAA. EPA is approving the 2008 emissions inventory for primary PM2.5, nitrogen oxides (NOX), sulfur dioxide (SO2), volatile organic compounds (VOC) and ammonia as satisfying the requirement of the CAA for a comprehensive, current emission inventory. Finally, EPA finds adequate and is approving 2015 and 2025 primary PM2.5 and NOX motor vehicle emissions budgets (MVEBs) for the Louisville area. These MVEBs will be used in future transportation conformity analyses for the area. These actions were proposed for approval in EPA’s initial action on July 11, 2013.

I. What is being addressed in this document?

This direct final action approves revisions to the Iowa Title V
Operating Permits Program, the State Implementation Plan (SIP), and the
112(l) plan. The submission revises the Title V Operating Permits
Program to include a new chapter to address fees for services by the
air quality program. Administrative revisions made with this rulemaking

Additional information for this rulemaking can be found in the
Technical Support Document located in this docket.

II. What part 70 revision is EPA approving?

The State of Iowa implements an operating permits program
applicable to certain sources of air pollution in the state. One EPA
requirement for a Title V program is that the permitting state must
establish a fee structure sufficient to cover the costs of the program
(40 CFR 70.9(b)). Due to decreased emissions, and therefore, decreased
Title V emission fees, Iowa analyzed program costs and determined that
a new fee structure was necessary. The State increased the fixed dollar
amount of $56 per ton to $70 per ton as the maximum Title V Operating
Permit fee established on the first 4,000 tons of

[[Page 62388]]

actual emissions for each regulated pollutant emitted from a source
subject to the Title V operating permit program. The state determined
the fee cap in order to accommodate greater flexibility in setting
future Title V fees by estimating program expenses associated with
projected actual emissions for fiscal year 2017. The submission package
demonstrated compliance with 40 CFR 70.9(c), Fee Demonstration, and 40
CFR 70.9(d), Use of Required Fee Revenue.
The new fee structure prompted the State of Iowa to add a new
Chapter to the Iowa Administrative Code (IAC), 567-IAC Chapter 30,
``Fees''.\1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

\1\ Iowa has requested approval of 567-IAC Subrule 30.4(2),
``Payment of Title V annual emission fee,'' as part of its Part 70
Operating Permits program. The remainder of Chapter 30 has not been
submitted to EPA for approval.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revisions with regard to fees in the Title V Operating Permits
Program in 567-IAC Chapter 22, makes reference to 567-IAC Chapter 30,
``Fees'' in the following rules:
22.100 ``Definitions for Title V Permits'';
22.101 ``Applicability of Title V Operating Permit
Requirements'';
22.103 ``Insignificant Activities'';
22.105 ``Title V Permit Applications'';
22.106 ``Title V Permit Fees'';
22.108 ``Permit Content''.
Subrule 30.4(2), ``Payment of Title V annual emission fee,'' was
added to Iowa's Title V Operating Program, and addresses fees required,
documentation due dates, Phase I acid rain sources, exempted stationary
sources and insignificant activities.
Details of Iowa's Title V Operating Program revisions can be found
in the Technical Support Document located in this docket.

III. What part 52 revision is EPA approving?

As previously stated, the new chapter in the Iowa Administrative
Code that addresses the revised fee structure initiated administrative
revisions to the Iowa State Implementation Plan (SIP) and 112(l) Plan.
Revisions in the SIP amends the following rules to make reference
to 567-IAC Chapter 30, ``Fees'' as follows:
Chapter 20--Scope of Title--Definitions--Forms--Rules of
Practice;
Chapter 22--Controlling Pollution;
Chapter 31--Nonattainment Areas;
Chapter 33--Special Regulations and Construction Permit
Requirements for Major Stationary Sources--Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality. The state's 112(l) plan is revised
to include, Chapter 22, subrule 22.8(1) that applies to permit-by-rule
for spray booths.
Details of Iowa's SIP and 112(l) revisions can be found in the
Technical Support Document located in this docket.

IV. 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.

V. What action is EPA taking?

EPA is approving the request to amend the Iowa Title V Operating
Permits Program, the State Implementation Plan and the 112(l) plan. As
noted previously in this document, the revision is consistent with
applicable EPA requirements. The revision meets the requirements of the
CAA, and implementing regulations. This revision is consistent with
applicable EPA requirements in Title V of the CAA, 40 CFR part 70, and
40 CFR part 52.
EPA is processing this action as a direct final action because the
revisions make routine changes to the existing rules which are
noncontroversial. Therefore, we do not anticipate any adverse comments.

VI. 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 EPA-
Approved Iowa Regulations described in the direct final amendments to
40 CFR part 52 set forth below. Therefore, these materials have been
approved by EPA for inclusion in the State implementation plan, have
been incorporated by reference by EPA into that plan, are fully
Federally enforceable under sections 110 and 113 of the CAA as of the
effective date of the final rulemaking of EPA's approval, and will be
incorporated by reference by the Director of the Federal Register in
the next update to the SIP compilation.\2\ EPA has made, and will
continue to make, these documents generally available electronically
through www.regulations.gov and at the appropriate EPA office (see the
ADDRESSES section of this preamble for more information).

\2\ 62 FR 27968 (May 22, 1997).

VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Under the Clean Air Act (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

[[Page 62389]]

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 November 8, 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).)
