[R07-OAR-2004-IA-0002; FRL-7793-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Operating Permits Program; State of 
Iowa

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing approval of a revision to the Iowa Operating 
Permits Program for the purpose of revising the definition of 
stationary source categories in the state rule. The revised definition 
will be consistent with the Federally-approved rules, including the 
provisions of the New Source Review Program and with EPA's major source 
definition.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
August 30, 2004.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Heather Hamilton, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Comments may also be submitted 
electronically or through hand delivery/courier; please follow the 
detailed instructions in the Addresses section of the direct final rule 
which is located in the rules section of this 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 state's revision to the operating 
permits program 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,

[[Page 45301]]

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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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: July 14, 2004.
