[R07-OAR-2005-IA-0003; FRL-7953-6]


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 for the purpose of approving 
the 2001 and 2004 updates to the Linn County Air Quality Ordinance, 
Chapter 10, Air Quality. 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 
September 15, 2005.

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 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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: August 3, 2005.
