ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IA 069-1069b; FRL-6340-4]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revisions submitted by the state of Iowa on December 11, 1998, and 
January 29, 1999. These revisions consist of updates to Iowa 
Administrative Code, Chapters 20, 22, 23, 25, and 28. 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. Approval of this SIP revision will make these 
rule revisions Federally enforceable.
    In the final rules section of the Federal Register, 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 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will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in 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. 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 
June 14, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Wayne A. 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.

    Dated: April 28, 1999.
