Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve
certain elements of a State
Implementation Plan (SIP) submission
from the State of Iowa addressing the
applicable requirements of section 110
of the Clean Air Act (CAA) for the 2015
Ozone (O3) National Ambient Air
Quality Standard (NAAQS). Section 110
requires that each state adopt and
submit a SIP revision to support the
implementation, maintenance, and
enforcement of each new or revised
NAAQS promulgated by the EPA. These
SIPs are commonly referred to as
‘‘infrastructure’’ SIPs. The infrastructure
requirements are designed to ensure that
the structural components of each
state’s air quality management program
are adequate to meet the state’s
responsibilities under the CAA.
DATES: Comments must be received on
or before July 29, 2021.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments,
identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07–

Once submitted, comments cannot be
edited or removed from Regulations.gov.
The EPA may publish any comment
received to its public docket. Do not
submit electronically any information
you consider to be Confidential
Business Information (CBI) or other
information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Multimedia
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be
accompanied by a written comment.
The written comment is considered the
official comment and should include
discussion of all points you wish to
make. The EPA will generally not
consider comments or comment
contents located outside of the primary
submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or
other file sharing system). For
additional submission methods, the full
EPA public comment policy,
information about CBI or multimedia
submissions, and general guidance on
making effective comments, please visit
https://www.epa.gov/dockets/
commenting-epa-dockets.
II. What is being addressed in this
document?
The EPA is proposing to approve the
infrastructure SIP submission received
from the state on November 30, 2018 in
accordance with section 110(a)(1) of the
CAA. Specifically, the EPA is proposing
to approve the following infrastructure
elements of section 110(a)(2) of the
CAA: (A) through (C), (D)(i)(II)—
prevention of significant deterioration of
air quality (prong 3) and protection of
visibility (prong 4), (D)(ii), (E) through
(H), and (J) through (M). Elements of
section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)—significant
contribution to nonattainment (prong 1)
and interfering with maintenance of the
NAAQS (prong 2) will be addressed in
a separate action.
Section 110(a)(2)(I) was discussed in
the submission, however, the EPA does
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:40 Jun 28, 2021
Jkt 253001
not expect infrastructure SIP
submissions to address element (I).
Section 110(a)(2)(I) requires states to
meet the applicable SIP requirements of
part D of the CAA relating to designated
nonattainment areas. The specific part D
submissions for designated
nonattainment areas are subject to
different submission schedules than
those for section 110 infrastructure
elements. The EPA will act on part D
attainment plan SIP submissions
through a separate rulemaking governed
by the requirements for nonattainment
areas, as described in part D.
A TSD is included as part of the
docket to discuss the details of this
proposed action, including an analysis
of how the SIP meets the applicable 110
requirements for infrastructure SIPs.
III. 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. The state provided a
public comment period for this SIP
revision from September 18, 2018 to
October 19, 2018, and received two
comments related to a request for more
stringent ozone requirements and an
increase in ozone monitors. The state
provided an adequate response to these
comments. In addition, as explained in
more detail in the TSD which is part of
this docket, the revision meets the
substantive SIP requirements of the
CAA, including section 110 and
implementing regulations.
IV. What action is EPA taking?
The EPA is proposing to approve
elements of the November 30, 2018,
submission addressing the
infrastructure elements for the 2015 O3
NAAQS. Specifically, the EPA is
proposing to approve the following
infrastructure elements of section
110(a)(2): (A) through(C), (D)(i)(II) prong
3 and prong 4, (D)(ii), (E) through (H),
(J) through (M). The EPA is not acting
on the elements of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)—prong 1 and prong 2
at this time. Section 110(a)(2)(I) was
discussed in the submission as not
being an applicable element and the
EPA does not expect section 110(a)(2)(I)
to be addressed in an infrastructure SIP
submission. The EPA’s analysis of the
submission is addressed in a TSD which
is part of this docket.
We are processing this as a proposed
action because we are soliciting
comments on this proposed action.
Final rulemaking will occur after
consideration of any comments.

V. 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 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

II. What is being addressed in this document?
The EPA is proposing to approve the infrastructure SIP submission
received from the state on November 30, 2018 in accordance with section
110(a)(1) of the CAA. Specifically, the EPA is proposing to approve the
following infrastructure elements of section 110(a)(2) of the CAA: (A)
through (C), (D)(i)(II)--prevention of significant deterioration of air
quality (prong 3) and protection of visibility (prong 4), (D)(ii), (E)
through (H), and (J) through (M). Elements of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)--significant contribution to nonattainment (prong 1)
and interfering with maintenance of the NAAQS (prong 2) will be
addressed in a separate action.
Section 110(a)(2)(I) was discussed in the submission, however, the
EPA does not expect infrastructure SIP submissions to address element
(I). Section 110(a)(2)(I) requires states to meet the applicable SIP
requirements of part D of the CAA relating to designated nonattainment
areas. The specific part D submissions for designated nonattainment
areas are subject to different submission schedules than those for
section 110 infrastructure elements. The EPA will act on part D
attainment plan SIP submissions through a separate rulemaking governed
by the requirements for nonattainment areas, as described in part D.
A TSD is included as part of the docket to discuss the details of
this proposed action, including an analysis of how the SIP meets the
applicable 110 requirements for infrastructure SIPs.
III. 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. The
state provided a public comment period for this SIP revision from
September 18, 2018 to October 19, 2018, and received two comments
related to a request for more stringent ozone requirements and an
increase in ozone monitors. The state provided an adequate response to
these comments. In addition, as explained in more detail in the TSD
which is part of this docket, the revision meets the substantive SIP
requirements of the CAA, including section 110 and implementing
regulations.
IV. What action is EPA taking?
The EPA is proposing to approve elements of the November 30, 2018,
submission addressing the infrastructure elements for the 2015
O3 NAAQS. Specifically, the EPA is proposing to approve the
following infrastructure elements of section 110(a)(2): (A) through(C),
(D)(i)(II) prong 3 and prong 4, (D)(ii), (E) through (H), (J) through
(M). The EPA is not acting on the elements of section
110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I)--prong 1 and prong 2 at this time. Section
110(a)(2)(I) was discussed in the submission as not being an applicable
element and the EPA does not expect section 110(a)(2)(I) to be
addressed in an infrastructure SIP submission. The EPA's analysis of
the submission is addressed in a TSD which is part of this docket.
We are processing this as a proposed action because we are
soliciting comments on this proposed action. Final rulemaking will
occur after consideration of any comments.
V. 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 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).
