SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State 
of Iowa. The purpose of these revisions is to update the Linn County 
Air Quality Ordinance, chapter 10. These proposed revisions reflect 
updates to the Iowa statewide rules previously approved by EPA and will 
ensure consistency between the applicable local agency rules and 
Federally-approved rules.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
August 27, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2015-0357, by mail to Heather Hamilton, Environmental Protection 
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Boulevard,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules and Regulations section of this 
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 technical support document that is included in the 
rulemaking docket. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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 and Regulations section 
of this Federal Register.
