Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans and 
Operating Permits Program; State of Iowa

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Iowa State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) and Operating Permits Program submitted by 
the state of Iowa. These revisions update and clarify various rules and 
makes minor revisions and corrections. Approval of these revisions will 
ensure consistency between the state and Federally-approved rules, and 
ensure Federal enforceability of the State's revised air program rules.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
November 15, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision and Title V 
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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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: October 5, 2007.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 7.
