40 CFR Part 52

[IA 187-1187; FRL-7569-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Iowa

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve a revision to the State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) submitted by the state of Iowa. The purpose of this revision 
is to approve the 1998 and 2000 updates to the Polk County Board of 
Health Rules and Regulations, Air Pollution, Chapter V. These revisions 
will help to ensure consistency between the applicable local agency 
rules and Federally-approved rules, and ensure Federal enforceability 
of the applicable parts of the local agency air programs.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
November 7, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted either by mail or electronically. 
Written comments should be mailed to Heather Hamilton, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Electronic comments should be sent 
either to Heather Hamilton at [email protected] or to http://www.regulations.gov, which is an alternative method for submitting 
electronic comments to EPA. To submit comments, please follow the 
detailed instructions described in ``What action is EPA taking'' in the 
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of the direct final rule which is 
located in the rules section of the Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Heather Hamilton at (913) 551-7039, or 
by e-mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. For additional 
information, see the direct final rule which is located in the rules 
section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: September 25, 2003.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 7.
