ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IA 048-1048b; FRL-6113-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Approval 
Under Section 112(l); State of Iowa

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revisions submitted by the state of Iowa. These revisions are 
necessary to meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act (Act) and the 
Code of Federal Regulations and to improve the state's permitting 
program. These revisions will strengthen the SIP with respect to 
attainment and maintenance of established air quality standards and 
with respect to control of hazardous air pollutants.
    In the final rules section of the Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the state's SIP revisions as a direct final rule without 
prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial 
revision amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse comments. A 
detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final 
rule. If no relevant adverse comments are received in response to this 
proposed rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this 
rule. If the EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final 
rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this 
time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by 
July 27, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Wayne Kaiser, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 726 Minnesota 
Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Kaiser at (913) 551-7603.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.

    Dated: May 26, 1998.
