ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R07-OAR-2006-0086; FRL-8037-8]
 
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 establishing 
exemptions for indoor sources of air pollution that are not directly 
vented to the outside but have emissions that leave the building 
through doors, vents or other means. This revision also clarifies that 
the permitting exemptions do not relieve the owner or operator of any 
source from any obligation to comply with any other applicable 
requirements. The state has determined that air pollution emissions 
from this equipment are negligible and these exemptions are likely to 
result in no significant impact on human health or the environment.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
March 30, 2006.

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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 that is located in the rules 
section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: February 17, 2006.
