ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is taking final action to
approve the State of Iowa’s request to
redesignate portions of Pottawattamie
County, Council Bluffs, Iowa to
attainment for the 2008 lead (Pb)
National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS). EPA’s approval of the
redesignation request is based on the
determination that the Council Bluffs
area has met the criteria for
redesignation to attainment set forth in
the Clean Air Act (CAA), including the
determination that the area has attained
the standard. Additionally, EPA is
granting final approval of the State’s
plan for maintaining the 2008 Pb
NAAQS in the Council Bluffs area for
ten years beyond redesignation.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
November 5, 2018.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID

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. Have the requirements for approval of a
SIP submission been met?
III. EPA’s Response To Comments

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What action is being addressed in this
document?
EPA is granting final approval of
Iowa’s request to redesignate the
Council Bluffs area to attainment for the
2008 Pb NAAQS. On September 18,
2017, the State submitted a request for
redesignation that demonstrates NAAQS
attainment and an associated
maintenance plan to ensure that the area
continues to attain the standard. The
basis for EPA’s final approval is that the
area met the requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA) for approval as discussed
below.
II. Have the requirements for approval
of a SIP submission been met?
On October 15, 2008, EPA
promulgated a revision to the Pb

NAAQS, lowering the standard from 1.5
micrograms per cubic meter (mg/m3) to
0.15 mg/m3 (73 FR 66963). The State
conducted ambient air monitoring for
Pb in the Council Bluffs area near Pb
emitting facilities. The 2010 through
2012 design value for Pb at the monitor
was 0.26 mg/m3, violating the 2008 Pb
NAAQS.
Effective December 31, 2011, EPA
designated a portion of Pottawattamie
County, Council Bluffs, Iowa, as
nonattainment for the 2008 Pb NAAQS
(76 FR 72097). EPA approved the State’s
SIP revision for the plan to bring the
area into attainment of the Pb NAAQS
in a Federal Register action dated
February 26, 2016 (81 FR 9770). The
area attained the 2008 Pb NAAQS by the
statutory deadline of December 31,
2016. The 2014 through 2016 design
value for the area is 0.10 mg/m3.
EPA’s proposed approval document
dated August 16, 2018, (83 FR 40728)
presents a detailed analysis of the CAA
requirements for redesignating a
nonattainment area to attainment.
Specifically, section 107(d)(3)(E) of the
CAA allows for redesignation provided
the following criteria are met: (1) The
Administrator determines that the area
has attained the applicable NAAQS; (2)
the Administrator has fully approved
the applicable implementation plan for
the area under section 110(k); (3) the
improvement in air quality is due to
permanent and enforceable reductions
in emissions resulting from
implementation of the applicable SIP
and applicable Federal air pollutant
control regulations and other permanent
and enforceable reductions; (4) the
Administrator has fully approved a
maintenance plan for the area as
meeting the requirements of section
175A; and (5) the State containing such
area has met all requirements applicable
to the area under section 110 and part
D of title I of the CAA. EPA believes the
area has met these criteria and that the

State’s maintenance plan will ensure
that the area continues to attain the
standard.
III. EPA’s Response to Comments
The public was provided an
opportunity to comment on the
proposed document from August 16,
2018, through September 17, 2018.
During this period, EPA received one
comment which is available in the
docket but outside of the scope of the
proposed rule. Therefore, EPA will not
provide a specific response to the
comment.

IV. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is granting final approval of
Iowa’s request to redesignate the
Council Bluffs area to attainment for the
2008 Pb NAAQS. Based on the detailed
analysis presented in its proposed
approval document dated August 16,
2018, (83 FR 40728), EPA believes that
the State’s September 18, 2017, request
for redesignation demonstrates NAAQS
attainment and the associated
maintenance plan will ensure that the
area continues to attain the standard.
Thus, EPA is approving the
redesignation request for the area and
associated maintenance plan.
EPA has determined that these actions
are effective immediately upon
publication under the authority of 5
U.S.C. 553(d). The purpose of the 30day waiting period prescribed in section
553(d) is to give affected parties a
reasonable time to adjust their behavior
and prepare before the final rule takes
effect. Section 553(d)(1) allows an
effective date less than 30 days after
publication if a substantive rule
‘‘relieves a restriction.’’ These actions
qualify for the exception under section
553(d)(1) because they relieve the State
of various requirements for the Area.
Furthermore, section 553(d)(3) allows
an effective date less than 30 days after
publication ‘‘as otherwise provided by
the agency for good cause found and
published with the rule.’’ EPA finds
good cause to make these actions
effective immediately pursuant to
section 553(d)(3) because they do not
create any new regulatory requirements
such that affected parties would need
time to prepare before the actions take
effect.

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);
• 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 the
National Technology Transfer and
Advancement Act (NTTA) because this
rulemaking does not involve technical
standards; and
• Does not provide EPA with the
discretionary authority to address, as
PO 00000

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve the State of Iowa's request to redesignate portions
of Pottawattamie County, Council Bluffs, Iowa to attainment for the
2008 lead (Pb) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). EPA's
approval of the redesignation request is based on the determination
that the Council Bluffs area has met the criteria for redesignation to
attainment set forth in the Clean Air Act (CAA), including the
determination that the area has attained the standard. Additionally,
EPA is granting final approval of the State's plan for maintaining the
2008 Pb NAAQS in the Council Bluffs area for ten years beyond
redesignation.
DATES: This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018.

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. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP submission been met?
III. EPA's Response To Comments
IV. What action is EPA taking?
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. What action is being addressed in this document?
EPA is granting final approval of Iowa's request to redesignate the
Council Bluffs area to attainment for the 2008 Pb NAAQS. On September
18, 2017, the State submitted a request for redesignation that
demonstrates NAAQS attainment and an associated maintenance plan to
ensure that the area continues to attain the standard. The basis for
EPA's final approval is that the area met the requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA) for approval as discussed below.
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP submission been met?
On October 15, 2008, EPA promulgated a revision to the Pb NAAQS,
lowering the standard from 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter ([micro]g/
m\3\) to 0.15 [micro]g/m\3\ (73 FR 66963). The State conducted ambient
air monitoring for Pb in the Council Bluffs area near Pb emitting
facilities. The 2010 through 2012 design value for Pb at the monitor
was 0.26 [micro]g/m\3\, violating the 2008 Pb NAAQS.
Effective December 31, 2011, EPA designated a portion of
Pottawattamie County, Council Bluffs, Iowa, as nonattainment for the
2008 Pb NAAQS (76 FR 72097). EPA approved the State's SIP revision for
the plan to bring the area into attainment of the Pb NAAQS in a Federal
Register action dated February 26, 2016 (81 FR 9770). The area attained
the 2008 Pb NAAQS by the statutory deadline of December 31, 2016. The
2014 through 2016 design value for the area is 0.10 [micro]g/m\3\.
EPA's proposed approval document dated August 16, 2018, (83 FR
40728) presents a detailed analysis of the CAA requirements for
redesignating a nonattainment area to attainment. Specifically, section
107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA allows for redesignation provided the following
criteria are met: (1) The Administrator determines that the area has
attained the applicable NAAQS; (2) the Administrator has fully approved
the applicable implementation plan for the area under section 110(k);
(3) the improvement in air quality is due to permanent and enforceable
reductions in emissions resulting from implementation of the applicable
SIP and applicable Federal air pollutant control regulations and other
permanent and enforceable reductions; (4) the Administrator has fully
approved a maintenance plan for the area as meeting the requirements of
section 175A; and (5) the State containing such area has met all
requirements applicable to the area under section 110 and part D of
title I of the CAA. EPA believes the area has met these criteria and
that the
[[Page 50025]]
State's maintenance plan will ensure that the area continues to attain
the standard.
III. EPA's Response to Comments
The public was provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed
document from August 16, 2018, through September 17, 2018. During this
period, EPA received one comment which is available in the docket but
outside of the scope of the proposed rule. Therefore, EPA will not
provide a specific response to the comment.
IV. What action is EPA taking?
EPA is granting final approval of Iowa's request to redesignate the
Council Bluffs area to attainment for the 2008 Pb NAAQS. Based on the
detailed analysis presented in its proposed approval document dated
August 16, 2018, (83 FR 40728), EPA believes that the State's September
18, 2017, request for redesignation demonstrates NAAQS attainment and
the associated maintenance plan will ensure that the area continues to
attain the standard. Thus, EPA is approving the redesignation request
for the area and associated maintenance plan.
EPA has determined that these actions are effective immediately
upon publication under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 553(d). The purpose of
the 30-day waiting period prescribed in section 553(d) is to give
affected parties a reasonable time to adjust their behavior and prepare
before the final rule takes effect. Section 553(d)(1) allows an
effective date less than 30 days after publication if a substantive
rule ``relieves a restriction.'' These actions qualify for the
exception under section 553(d)(1) because they relieve the State of
various requirements for the Area. Furthermore, section 553(d)(3)
allows an effective date less than 30 days after publication ``as
otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found and published
with the rule.'' EPA finds good cause to make these actions effective
immediately pursuant to section 553(d)(3) because they do not create
any new regulatory requirements such that affected parties would need
time to prepare before the actions take effect.
V. 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);
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 the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTA) because this rulemaking does not
involve technical standards; 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).
