ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IA 154-1154; FRL-7392-7]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Iowa

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the state of Iowa. The SIP revisions, regarding 
the State's construction permitting rules as they pertain to industrial 
anaerobic lagoons and anaerobic lagoons for animal feeding operations 
in Iowa, will help ensure Federal enforceability of the state's air 
program. In the final rules section of the Federal Register, EPA is 
approving the state's SIP revision as a direct final rule without prior 
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision 
amendment and anticipates no relevant adverse comments to this action. 
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 
action, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this action. 
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be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 action. EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. 
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on part of this rule 
and if that part can be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 
adopt as final those parts of the rule that are not the subject of an 
adverse comment.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
November 8, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Lynn Slugantz, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lynn Slugantz at (913) 551-7883.

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

    Dated: June 3, 2002.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 7.
