ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State
of Iowa to include modified permits for Muscatine County, Iowa. The SIP
revision addresses modifications to construction permits that were
included in the 2006 24-hour particulate matter less than 2.5
micrometers (PM2.5) National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS) control strategy proposed on August 11, 2014, and published as
a final rule in the Federal Register on December 1, 2014, with the
effective date of December 31, 2014. The state's submission of modified
permits includes a revised air dispersion modeling analysis that
demonstrated continued attainment of the 2006 24-hour PM2.5
NAAQS. This action will also make an administrative correction to
permit numbers.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
May 4, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's revision to the SIP 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. The detailed rationale for the approval is set
forth in the technical support document that can be found in Docket ID
No. EPA-R07-OAR-2015-0159. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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 rules 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 comments 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.
