I. What is being addressed in this
document?
EPA is proposing to approve a
submission from the State of Iowa to
revise the Iowa SIP and the Operating
Permits Program. The revisions to the
Iowa SIP revise the definition for EPA
reference method and volatile organic
compounds (VOCs), clarifies permit rule
exemptions and the State’s permit-byrule regulation, and revises methods
and procedures for performance test/
stack test and continuous monitoring
systems. In addition, the State has
removed its rules that implement the
CAIR. The State has also revised their
Prevention of Significant Deterioration
(PSD) regulations to incorporate the
most recent Federal requirements. Iowa
has also revised their Operating Permits
Program by revising the definition for
EPA Reference Method, clarifying
insignificant activities as applied to
internal combustion engines, revising
forms used to submit emission
inventories and due dates as well as
revising the public participation rules.
In addition, the State revised their acid
rain rules to include the most recent
EPA Reference Method.

EPA is not acting on Chapter 25.2—
Continuous emission monitoring under
the acid rain program, as these
provisions are not approved in the
operating permits program. EPA is also
not acting on the New Source
Performance Standards, emission
standards for hazardous air pollutants,
emission standards for hazardous air
pollutants for source categories, and
emission guidelines that were submitted
in this SIP revision. These will be
addressed separately.
II. What SIP revisions are being
proposed by EPA?
EPA is proposing the following
revisions to the Iowa SIP:
Chapter 20—Scope of TitleDefinitions: The State revised the
definition of ‘‘EPA reference method,’’
to adopt the most current EPA methods
for measuring air pollutant emissions
(stack testing and continuous
monitoring). EPA revised the reference
methods in 40 CFR parts 51, 60, 61 and
63 on August 30, 2016. These updates
will ensure that state reference methods
are equivalent to Federal reference
methods and are no more stringent than
Federal methods.
The State revised the definition of
‘‘volatile organic compounds’’ (VOC) to
reflect changes made to the Federal
definition of VOC on August 1, 2016.
EPA finalized a regulation on August 1,
2016, to exclude the compound 1,1,2,2tetrafluoro-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)
Ethane (HFE–347pcf2) from the Federal
definition because this compound
makes a negligible contribution to
tropospheric ozone formation. This
revision to the VOC definition ensures
consistency with the Federal definition.
Chapter 22—Controlling Pollution:
The State made three revisions under
Chapter 22, ‘‘Permits required for new
or existing stationary sources,’’ subrule
22.1(2), ‘‘Permitting exemptions.’’ The
revisions to permitting exemptions do
not relieve the owner or operator of any
source from any obligation to comply
with any other applicable requirements.
The introductory paragraph to 22.1(2)
‘‘i’’, ‘‘Initiation of construction,
installation, reconstruction, or alteration
(modification) to equipment,’’ now
cross-refers to subrule 31.3(1) in the
Iowa SIP as the previous reference no
longer exists. Subrule 31.3(1) refers to
definitions for nonattainment new
source review requirements for areas
designated nonattainment on or after
May 18, 1998.
Subparagraph 22.1(2) ‘‘r’’, applies to
the exemption for an internal
combustion engine with a brake
horsepower rating of less than 400
measured at the shaft. The added

amozie on DSK3GDR082PROD with PROPOSALS1
49510
Federal Register / Vol. 83, No. 191 / Tuesday, October 2, 2018 / Proposed Rules
language (underlined below) clarifies
that the owner or operator of an engine
that was manufactured, ordered,
modified or reconstructed after March
18, 2009, may use this exemption only
if the owner or operator, prior to
installing, modifying or reconstructing
the engine, submits to the department a
completed registration on forms
provided by the department (unless the
engine is exempted from registration, as
specified in this paragraph or on the
registration form). This revision clarifies
that an engine that meets the definition
of nonroad engine as specified in 40
CFR 1068.30,1 is exempt from
registration requirements. The engine
must be in compliance with New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for
stationary compression ignition internal
combustion engines (40 CFR part 60,
subpart IIII); NSPS for stationary spark
ignition internal combustion engines (40
CFR part 60, subpart JJJJ), and National
Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal
Combustion Engines (40 CFR part 63,
subpart ZZZZ). The State also corrected
punctuation errors in this subparagraph.
Subparagraph 22.1(2)‘‘w’’(1) applies
to ‘‘small unit’’ exemptions from
construction permitting. The SIPapproved list of criteria has the word
‘‘or’’ between the last two items in the
list, which could lead affected owners
and operators to conclude that an
emission unit does not need to meet all
the criteria in the list. This proposed
revision changes the word ‘‘or’’ to ‘‘and’’
between the provision for ‘‘PM2.5’’ and
the one for ‘‘hazardous air pollutants’’
in the list of air pollutants. A spelling
error will also be corrected with this
proposed revision.
The revisions to subrule 22.8(1) ‘‘a’’,
‘‘Permit by Rule,’’ allow powder coat
material to be used in paint booths
without being considered ‘‘sprayed
material,’’ provided the powder coating
is applied in an indoor-vented spray
booth equipped with filters or an
overspray powder recovery system.
Included in this docket are justification
materials from the state that evaluates
that particulate emissions from powder
coatings specified under the conditions
in permit by rule, would not contribute
to the exceedances of the ambient air
quality standards for particulate matter.
The justification was previously
provided in support of the exemption
for powder coatings for construction
permits (22.1(2)‘‘bb’’). Owners and/or
operators using the permit by rule must
send a notification letter to the

Department and complete applicability
questions for the facility. Facilities not
eligible for permit by rule are required
to apply for a construction permit as
specified under 567 IAC subrules
22.1(1) and 22.1(3).
Chapter 25—Measurement of
Emissions: The State revised subrule
25.1(9), ‘‘Methods and Procedures,’’ to
adopt the most current EPA reference
methods for measuring air pollutant
emissions (performance test/stack test,
25.1(9)a, and continuous monitoring
systems, 25.1(9)b). EPA revised the
reference methods in 40 CFR parts 51,
60, 61 and 63 on August 30, 2016. These
proposed updates will ensure that state
reference methods are equivalent to
Federal reference methods and are no
more stringent than Federal methods.
Chapter 33—Special Regulations and
Construction Permit Requirements for
Major Stationary Sources—Prevention
of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air
Quality:
33.1—Purpose. The State revised the
applicable date to incorporate the recent
changes EPA made to the Federal
requirements of the PSD program from
August 19, 2015, to October 18, 2016.
33.1(3)—Definitions. The State
revised the definition of ‘‘volatile
organic compounds’’ (VOC) to reflect
changes made to the Federal definition
of VOC on August 1, 2016. The
compound 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-1-(2,2,2trifluoroethoxy) Ethane (HFE-347pcf2)
was excluded from the Federal
definition at 40 CFR 51.100(s) because
this compound makes a negligible
contribution to tropospheric ozone
formation. This proposed revision to the
state’s VOC definition ensures
consistency with the Federal definition.
33.3(17)—Public participation. The
State made revisions that addresses
public participation requirements for
the PSD program to reflect updates to
the Federal regulations, at 40 CFR part
51, subpart I, published October 18,
2016. The revision removes the
requirements for advertisement in a
newspaper of general circulation in each
region in which the proposed source
will be constructed, and provides for
posting of the public comment period
on a website identified by the
department.2 The electronic notice shall
be available for the duration of the
public comment period and include the
notice of public comment, the draft
permit(s), information on how to access
the administrative record for the draft
permit(s), and how to request or attend
a public hearing on the draft permits(s).
The revision also requires the

department to be consistent in the
method of providing public notice while
using other means necessary to ensure
adequate notice to the affected public.
33.3(22)—Permit rescission. This
revision allows for rescission of PSD
permits to be consistent with the
Federal changes made to 40 CFR part
51, subpart I, published October 18,
2016, with regard to public
participation. A notice of permit
rescission may be posted on a publicly
available website identified by the
department.
Chapter 34—Provisions for Air
Quality Emissions Trading Programs.
Due to the regulations being phased out
and replaced with the Cross-State Air
Pollution Rule published in the Federal
Register on August 8, 2011 at 76 FR
48208, Iowa is implementing the CrossState Air Pollution Rule through a
Federal Implementation Plan, and
removing its regulations that implement
CAIR. Because the State CAIR trading
programs created by these rules are no
longer being implemented, and because
the rules serve no other purpose,
removal of the rules from the SIP does
not interfere with any applicable
requirement concerning attainment or
any other requirement of the CAA.
EPA is proposing to approve the
rescission of the following chapters in
the Iowa SIP:
34.201, CAIR NOX Annual Trading
Program Provisions;
34.202, CAIR Designated
Representative for CAIR NOX sources;
34.203, Permits;

III. What operating permits plan
revisions are being proposed by EPA?
EPA is proposing to approve the
following revisions to Iowa’s Operating
Permits Program (Title V) as follows:
Chapter 22.100—Definitions for Title
V Operating Permits: The State revised
the definition of ‘‘EPA reference
method,’’ to adopt the most current EPA
methods for measuring air pollutant
emissions (stack testing and continuous
monitoring). EPA revised the reference
methods in 40 CFR parts 51, 60, 61 and
63 on August 30, 2016. These updates
will ensure that state reference methods
are equivalent to Federal reference
methods and are no more stringent than
Federal methods.
Chapter 22.103—Insignificant
activities:
Subparagraph 22.103(2)‘‘b’’(6) applies
to the exemption for internal
combustion engines that are used for
emergency response purpose with a
brake horsepower rating of less than 400
measured at the shaft. The revision adds
that emergency engines that are subject
to the following rules are not to be
considered insignificant: New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS), 40 CFR
part 60 subpart IIII (stationary
compression ignition internal
combustion engines); NSPS 40 CFR part
60, subpart JJJJ (stationary spark ignition
internal combustion engines), and
National Emission Standards for
hazardous air pollutants, 40 CFR part
63, subpart ZZZZ (reciprocating internal
combustion engines).
Chapter 22.106, Title V permit fees:
The revision to 22.106(2) applies to
emission inventories and
documentation due dates. The revision
specifies that emissions inventories will
be submitted with forms specified by
the department. For emissions in Polk
and Linn Counties, three copies of forms
should be submitted that document
actual emissions for the previous
calendar year annually by March 31.
Emissions in other counties are required
to submit two copies of forms
documenting actual emissions for the
previous calendar year annually by
March 31. With this revision, the
following forms have been removed:
Form 1.0, ‘‘Facility Identification’’;
Form 4.0, ‘‘Emission Unit—Actual
Operations and Emissions’’ for each
emission unit; Form 5.0, ‘‘Title V
Annual Emissions Summary/Fee’’, and
Part 3, ‘‘Application Certification.’’
Chapter 22.107, Title V permit
processing procedures:
The revision to subrule 22.107(6),
‘‘Public notice and public
participation,’’ updates the Title V
program to reflect the changes made to
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:46 Oct 01, 2018
Jkt 247001
Federal regulations at 40 CFR 70.7(h),
published October 18, 2016. The
revision removes the requirements for
advertisement in a newspaper of general
circulation and adds that posting of the
notice, including the draft permit, for
the duration of the public comment
period on a public website identified by
the permitting authority.3
Chapter 22.120: This chapter applies
to the acid rain program. In Iowa, all
provisions of the acid rain program are
approved under the Title V Operating
Permits Program. Therefore, the test
methods as applied in Chapter 22.100
apply to Chapter 22.120 to include the
most recent EPA reference method
revision to 40 CFR part 75 (August 30,
2016).
Chapter 30—Fees: The revision to
‘‘Fees Associated with Title V Operating
Permits’’ at 30.4(2) ‘‘b’’ removes the
following forms: Form 1.0, ‘‘Facility
Identification’’; Form 5.0, ‘‘Title V
Annual Emissions Summary/Fee’’, and
Part 3, ‘‘Application Certification.’’ The
revision also adds the language ‘‘with
forms specified by the department.’’
IV. Have the requirements for approval
of a SIP and the Operating Permits
Program revisions been met?
The submission met the public notice
requirements for SIP submissions in
accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The
State held a public comment period
from December 20, 2017 to January 22,
2018, with a public hearing on January
22, 2018. No comments were received.
The submissions also satisfied the
completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51,
appendix V. In addition, these revisions
meet the substantive SIP requirements
of the CAA, including section 110 and
implementing regulations. These
revisions are also consistent with
applicable EPA requirements of Title V
of the CAA and 40 CFR part 70.
V. What actions are proposed?
EPA is proposing to approve revisions
to the Iowa SIP and the Operating
Permits Program. The proposed
revisions clarify rules, makes revisions
and corrections, and rescinds rules no
longer relevant to the air program. EPA
has determined that approval of these
revisions will not impact air quality and
will ensure consistency between the
state and federally-approved rules, and
ensure Federal enforceability of the
state’s revised air program rules.
VI. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, EPA is proposing to
include regulatory text in an EPA final
rule that includes incorporation by

reference. In accordance with
requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is
proposing to incorporate by reference
the Iowa Regulations described in the
proposed amendments to 40 CFR part
52 set forth below. EPA has made, and
will continue to make, these materials
generally available through
www.regulations.gov and at the EPA
Region 7 Office (please contact the
person identified in the FOR FURTHER
INFORMATION CONTACT section of this
preamble for more information).
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);
• Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82
FR 9339, February 2, 2017) regulatory
action because SIP approvals are
exempted under Executive Order 12866.
• 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
E:\FR\FM\02OCP1.SGM

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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' refer to EPA. This section provides additional information by
addressing the following:
I. What is being addressed in this document?
II. What SIP revisions are being proposed by EPA?
III. What Operating Permit Plan revisions are being proposed by EPA?
IV. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP and the Operating
Permits Program revisions been met?
V. What actions are proposed?
VI. Incorporation by Reference
VII. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What is being addressed in this document?
EPA is proposing to approve a submission from the State of Iowa to
revise the Iowa SIP and the Operating Permits Program. The revisions to
the Iowa SIP revise the definition for EPA reference method and
volatile organic compounds (VOCs), clarifies permit rule exemptions and
the State's permit-by-rule regulation, and revises methods and
procedures for performance test/stack test and continuous monitoring
systems. In addition, the State has removed its rules that implement
the CAIR. The State has also revised their Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) regulations to incorporate the most recent Federal
requirements. Iowa has also revised their Operating Permits Program by
revising the definition for EPA Reference Method, clarifying
insignificant activities as applied to internal combustion engines,
revising forms used to submit emission inventories and due dates as
well as revising the public participation rules. In addition, the State
revised their acid rain rules to include the most recent EPA Reference
Method.
EPA is not acting on Chapter 25.2--Continuous emission monitoring
under the acid rain program, as these provisions are not approved in
the operating permits program. EPA is also not acting on the New Source
Performance Standards, emission standards for hazardous air pollutants,
emission standards for hazardous air pollutants for source categories,
and emission guidelines that were submitted in this SIP revision. These
will be addressed separately.
II. What SIP revisions are being proposed by EPA?
EPA is proposing the following revisions to the Iowa SIP:
Chapter 20--Scope of Title-Definitions: The State revised the
definition of ``EPA reference method,'' to adopt the most current EPA
methods for measuring air pollutant emissions (stack testing and
continuous monitoring). EPA revised the reference methods in 40 CFR
parts 51, 60, 61 and 63 on August 30, 2016. These updates will ensure
that state reference methods are equivalent to Federal reference
methods and are no more stringent than Federal methods.
The State revised the definition of ``volatile organic compounds''
(VOC) to reflect changes made to the Federal definition of VOC on
August 1, 2016. EPA finalized a regulation on August 1, 2016, to
exclude the compound 1,1,2,2-tetrafluoro-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy)
Ethane (HFE-347pcf2) from the Federal definition because this compound
makes a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. This
revision to the VOC definition ensures consistency with the Federal
definition.
Chapter 22--Controlling Pollution: The State made three revisions
under Chapter 22, ``Permits required for new or existing stationary
sources,'' subrule 22.1(2), ``Permitting exemptions.'' The revisions to
permitting exemptions do not relieve the owner or operator of any
source from any obligation to comply with any other applicable
requirements.
The introductory paragraph to 22.1(2) ``i'', ``Initiation of
construction, installation, reconstruction, or alteration
(modification) to equipment,'' now cross-refers to subrule 31.3(1) in
the Iowa SIP as the previous reference no longer exists. Subrule
31.3(1) refers to definitions for nonattainment new source review
requirements for areas designated nonattainment on or after May 18,
1998.
Subparagraph 22.1(2) ``r'', applies to the exemption for an
internal combustion engine with a brake horsepower rating of less than
400 measured at the shaft. The added
[[Page 49510]]
language (underlined below) clarifies that the owner or operator of an
engine that was manufactured, ordered, modified or reconstructed after
March 18, 2009, may use this exemption only if the owner or operator,
prior to installing, modifying or reconstructing the engine, submits to
the department a completed registration on forms provided by the
department (unless the engine is exempted from registration, as
specified in this paragraph or on the registration form). This revision
clarifies that an engine that meets the definition of nonroad engine as
specified in 40 CFR 1068.30,\1\ is exempt from registration
requirements. The engine must be in compliance with New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS) for stationary compression ignition
internal combustion engines (40 CFR part 60, subpart IIII); NSPS for
stationary spark ignition internal combustion engines (40 CFR part 60,
subpart JJJJ), and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air
Pollutants for Reciprocating Internal Combustion Engines (40 CFR part
63, subpart ZZZZ). The State also corrected punctuation errors in this
subparagraph.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ https://www.ecfr.gov/cgi-bin/text-idx?SID=db4b0eb8f69070dfa866091c274c941c&mc=true&node=se40.37.1068_130&rgn=div8.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Subparagraph 22.1(2)``w''(1) applies to ``small unit'' exemptions
from construction permitting. The SIP-approved list of criteria has the
word ``or'' between the last two items in the list, which could lead
affected owners and operators to conclude that an emission unit does
not need to meet all the criteria in the list. This proposed revision
changes the word ``or'' to ``and'' between the provision for
``PM2.5'' and the one for ``hazardous air pollutants'' in
the list of air pollutants. A spelling error will also be corrected
with this proposed revision.
The revisions to subrule 22.8(1) ``a'', ``Permit by Rule,'' allow
powder coat material to be used in paint booths without being
considered ``sprayed material,'' provided the powder coating is applied
in an indoor-vented spray booth equipped with filters or an overspray
powder recovery system. Included in this docket are justification
materials from the state that evaluates that particulate emissions from
powder coatings specified under the conditions in permit by rule, would
not contribute to the exceedances of the ambient air quality standards
for particulate matter. The justification was previously provided in
support of the exemption for powder coatings for construction permits
(22.1(2)``bb''). Owners and/or operators using the permit by rule must
send a notification letter to the Department and complete applicability
questions for the facility. Facilities not eligible for permit by rule
are required to apply for a construction permit as specified under 567
IAC subrules 22.1(1) and 22.1(3).
Chapter 25--Measurement of Emissions: The State revised subrule
25.1(9), ``Methods and Procedures,'' to adopt the most current EPA
reference methods for measuring air pollutant emissions (performance
test/stack test, 25.1(9)a, and continuous monitoring systems,
25.1(9)b). EPA revised the reference methods in 40 CFR parts 51, 60, 61
and 63 on August 30, 2016. These proposed updates will ensure that
state reference methods are equivalent to Federal reference methods and
are no more stringent than Federal methods.
Chapter 33--Special Regulations and Construction Permit
Requirements for Major Stationary Sources--Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality:
33.1--Purpose. The State revised the applicable date to incorporate
the recent changes EPA made to the Federal requirements of the PSD
program from August 19, 2015, to October 18, 2016.
33.1(3)--Definitions. The State revised the definition of
``volatile organic compounds'' (VOC) to reflect changes made to the
Federal definition of VOC on August 1, 2016. The compound 1,1,2,2-
tetrafluoro-1-(2,2,2-trifluoroethoxy) Ethane (HFE-347pcf2) was excluded
from the Federal definition at 40 CFR 51.100(s) because this compound
makes a negligible contribution to tropospheric ozone formation. This
proposed revision to the state's VOC definition ensures consistency
with the Federal definition.
33.3(17)--Public participation. The State made revisions that
addresses public participation requirements for the PSD program to
reflect updates to the Federal regulations, at 40 CFR part 51, subpart
I, published October 18, 2016. The revision removes the requirements
for advertisement in a newspaper of general circulation in each region
in which the proposed source will be constructed, and provides for
posting of the public comment period on a website identified by the
department.\2\ The electronic notice shall be available for the
duration of the public comment period and include the notice of public
comment, the draft permit(s), information on how to access the
administrative record for the draft permit(s), and how to request or
attend a public hearing on the draft permits(s). The revision also
requires the department to be consistent in the method of providing
public notice while using other means necessary to ensure adequate
notice to the affected public.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\2\ The ``department'' is the Iowa Department of Natural
Resources and the permitting authority.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
33.3(22)--Permit rescission. This revision allows for rescission of
PSD permits to be consistent with the Federal changes made to 40 CFR
part 51, subpart I, published October 18, 2016, with regard to public
participation. A notice of permit rescission may be posted on a
publicly available website identified by the department.
Chapter 34--Provisions for Air Quality Emissions Trading Programs.
Due to the regulations being phased out and replaced with the Cross-
State Air Pollution Rule published in the Federal Register on August 8,
2011 at 76 FR 48208, Iowa is implementing the Cross-State Air Pollution
Rule through a Federal Implementation Plan, and removing its
regulations that implement CAIR. Because the State CAIR trading
programs created by these rules are no longer being implemented, and
because the rules serve no other purpose, removal of the rules from the
SIP does not interfere with any applicable requirement concerning
attainment or any other requirement of the CAA.
EPA is proposing to approve the rescission of the following
chapters in the Iowa SIP:
34.201, CAIR NOX Annual Trading Program Provisions;
34.202, CAIR Designated Representative for CAIR NOX
sources;
34.203, Permits;
34.204, Reserved;
34.205, CAIR NOX Allowance Allocations;
34.206, CAIR NOX Allowance Tracking System;
34.207, CAIR NOX Allowance Transfers;
34.208, Monitoring and Reporting;
34.209, CAIR NOX Opt-in Units;
34.210, CAIR SO2 Trading Program;
34.211-34.219, Reserved;
34.220, CAIR NOX Ozone Season Trading Program;
34.221, CAIR NOX Ozone Season Trading Program General
Provisions;
34.222, CAIR Designated Representative for CAIR NOX
Ozone Season Sources;
34.223, CAIR NOX Ozone Season Permits;
34.224, Reserved;
34.225, CAIR NOX Ozone Season Allowance Allocations;
34.226, CAIR NOX Ozone Season Allowance Tracking System;
34.227, CAIR NOX Ozone Season Allowance Transfers;
34.228, CAIR NOX Ozone Season Monitoring and Reporting,
and 34.229, CAIR NOX Ozone Season Opt-in Units.
[[Page 49511]]
III. What operating permits plan revisions are being proposed by EPA?
EPA is proposing to approve the following revisions to Iowa's
Operating Permits Program (Title V) as follows:
Chapter 22.100--Definitions for Title V Operating Permits: The
State revised the definition of ``EPA reference method,'' to adopt the
most current EPA methods for measuring air pollutant emissions (stack
testing and continuous monitoring). EPA revised the reference methods
in 40 CFR parts 51, 60, 61 and 63 on August 30, 2016. These updates
will ensure that state reference methods are equivalent to Federal
reference methods and are no more stringent than Federal methods.
Chapter 22.103--Insignificant activities:
Subparagraph 22.103(2)``b''(6) applies to the exemption for
internal combustion engines that are used for emergency response
purpose with a brake horsepower rating of less than 400 measured at the
shaft. The revision adds that emergency engines that are subject to the
following rules are not to be considered insignificant: New Source
Performance Standards (NSPS), 40 CFR part 60 subpart IIII (stationary
compression ignition internal combustion engines); NSPS 40 CFR part 60,
subpart JJJJ (stationary spark ignition internal combustion engines),
and National Emission Standards for hazardous air pollutants, 40 CFR
part 63, subpart ZZZZ (reciprocating internal combustion engines).
Chapter 22.106, Title V permit fees:
The revision to 22.106(2) applies to emission inventories and
documentation due dates. The revision specifies that emissions
inventories will be submitted with forms specified by the department.
For emissions in Polk and Linn Counties, three copies of forms should
be submitted that document actual emissions for the previous calendar
year annually by March 31. Emissions in other counties are required to
submit two copies of forms documenting actual emissions for the
previous calendar year annually by March 31. With this revision, the
following forms have been removed: Form 1.0, ``Facility
Identification''; Form 4.0, ``Emission Unit--Actual Operations and
Emissions'' for each emission unit; Form 5.0, ``Title V Annual
Emissions Summary/Fee'', and Part 3, ``Application Certification.''
Chapter 22.107, Title V permit processing procedures:
The revision to subrule 22.107(6), ``Public notice and public
participation,'' updates the Title V program to reflect the changes
made to Federal regulations at 40 CFR 70.7(h), published October 18,
2016. The revision removes the requirements for advertisement in a
newspaper of general circulation and adds that posting of the notice,
including the draft permit, for the duration of the public comment
period on a public website identified by the permitting authority.\3\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Iowa Department of Natural Resources.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Chapter 22.120: This chapter applies to the acid rain program. In
Iowa, all provisions of the acid rain program are approved under the
Title V Operating Permits Program. Therefore, the test methods as
applied in Chapter 22.100 apply to Chapter 22.120 to include the most
recent EPA reference method revision to 40 CFR part 75 (August 30,
2016).
Chapter 30--Fees: The revision to ``Fees Associated with Title V
Operating Permits'' at 30.4(2) ``b'' removes the following forms: Form
1.0, ``Facility Identification''; Form 5.0, ``Title V Annual Emissions
Summary/Fee'', and Part 3, ``Application Certification.'' The revision
also adds the language ``with forms specified by the department.''
IV. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP and the Operating
Permits Program revisions been met?
The submission met the public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The State held a public
comment period from December 20, 2017 to January 22, 2018, with a
public hearing on January 22, 2018. No comments were received. The
submissions also satisfied the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51,
appendix V. In addition, these revisions meet the substantive SIP
requirements of the CAA, including section 110 and implementing
regulations. These revisions are also consistent with applicable EPA
requirements of Title V of the CAA and 40 CFR part 70.
V. What actions are proposed?
EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Iowa SIP and the
Operating Permits Program. The proposed revisions clarify rules, makes
revisions and corrections, and rescinds rules no longer relevant to the
air program. EPA has determined that approval of these revisions will
not impact air quality and will ensure consistency between the state
and federally-approved rules, and ensure Federal enforceability of the
state's revised air program rules.
VI. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, EPA is proposing to include regulatory text in an
EPA final rule that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the Iowa Regulations described in the proposed amendments to
40 CFR part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to
make, these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov
and at the EPA Region 7 Office (please contact the person identified in
the For Further Information Contact section of this preamble for more
information).
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);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
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
[[Page 49512]]
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).
