-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is approving, through direct final rulemaking, revisions
to the State of Iowa's State Implementation Plan (SIP), Title V
program, and Clean Air Act (CAA) section 111(d) plan. The purpose of
these revisions is to make general updates to existing state air
quality rules, approve an exemption from constructing permitting for
engines used in periodic pipeline testing, approve changes to state
rules regarding regional haze requirements, and to approve adoption of
Federal regulations including the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards (NAAQS) for 2008 Ozone, 2008 Lead, and 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide.
EPA is approving the SIP
[[Page 63888]]
provisions pursuant to section 110 of the CAA.
EPA is also taking direct final action to approve a Hospital
Medical Infectious Waste Incinerators (HMIWI) section 111(d) negative
declaration from the State of Iowa which certifies that HMIWIs, subject
to the requirements of sections 111(d) and 129 of the CAA, do not exist
in the State; and approving the rescission of its section 111(d)/129
plan and emission guidelines for HMIWI units. EPA is approving these
actions pursuant to section 111 of the CAA.
EPA is also approving two minor administrative changes to the Title
V program, pursuant to section 500 of the CAA.
DATES: This rule is effective December 24, 2013, without further
notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by November 25, 2013. If
EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely withdrawal of
the direct final rule in the Federal Register informing the public that
the rule will not take effect.

I. What is being addressed in this document?
On March 7, 2008, EPA Region 7 received a submission from the Iowa
Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) requesting revisions to Iowa's
Federally-approved SIP. These revisions made changes to Chapter 22,
``Controlling Pollution,'' of the Iowa Administrative Code (IAC),
promulgated by the Iowa Environmental Protection Commission (EPC). EPA
took action on a portion of this plan submittal on June 26, 2012; \1\
EPA is taking direct final action on remaining portions of this
submittal in today's action.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ 77 FR 38006.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
On January 11, 2010, EPA Region 7 received a submission from IDNR
requesting revisions to Iowa's Federally-approved SIP and Title V
program including changes to Chapter 20, ``Scope of Title--
Definitions--Forms--Rules of Practice,'' Chapter 22, ``Controlling
Pollution,'' Chapter 23, ``Emission Standards for Contaminants,''
Chapter 25, ``Measurement of Emissions,'' Chapter 28, ``Ambient Air
Quality Standards,'' and Chapter 33, ``Special Regulations and
Construction Permit Requirements for Major Stationary Sources--
Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality.'' EPA is
taking direct final action to approve revisions to these chapters in
today's action. Also included in the submittal were revisions to
Chapter 23, ``Emission Standards for Contaminants,'' which we are not
acting on today, and will address in a separate action.
On March 1, 2011, EPA Region 7 received a submittal from the IDNR
requesting revisions to Iowa's Federally-approved SIP and 111(d) plan,
including changes to Chapter 24, ``Excess Emissions,'' Chapter 28,
``Ambient Air Quality Standards,'' and changes to Chapter 23,
``Emission Standards.'' EPA is taking direct final action to approve
these changes in today's action.
II. What part 52 revisions are being approved by EPA?
EPA is approving changes to Chapter 22.9 related to the State's
plan for Regional Haze. EPA took final action on the State's Regional
Haze plan on June 26, 2012 (77 FR 38006), but inadvertently failed to
act on changes to the state rules. These changes include adding
definitions for Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART), deciview,
and mandatory Class I area, as well as establishing procedures for how
IDNR will notify source owners or operators about BART status, and
establishing provisions for how IDNR may request a BART analysis from
sources.
EPA is approving changes to the definitions of Volatile Organic
Compounds (VOCs) in Chapter 20 and 33. These changes update the state
rules to make them consistent with the Federal definitions as of
January 21, 2009.
EPA is approving changes to several chapters which update the zip
code for the IDNR Air Quality Bureau Offices. The offices remain in the
current location; however, a ZIP code change for the current location
took effect on July 1, 2009.
[[Page 63889]]
EPA is approving an exemption from construction permitting in
Chapter 22.1 for certain temporary diesel engines used in periodic
testing and maintenance of natural gas pipelines. The exemption
contains conditions to ensure that engine emissions will not exceed the
emission limits currently allowed under the State's small unit
exemption.
EPA is approving changes to Chapter 24 which allow for initial
reports of excess emissions to be made via electronic mail (email).
Facility owners and operators are still allowed to make initial reports
in person or by telephone. Owners or operators must still follow up
their initial report with a written, hard-copy report.
EPA is approving minor changes to IDNR's stack testing
notifications and test protocols in Chapter 25.1 which clarify IDNR's
procedures.
EPA is approving Iowa's amendments to Chapter 28, to include the
adoption by reference of the NAAQS for 2008 Ozone \2\, 2008 Lead \3\,
and 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide \4\ into Iowa's Federally-approved SIP.
States are not required to adopt ambient air quality standards, but are
required to implement the standards adopted by EPA pursuant to section
110 of the CAA. Iowa has adopted standards which are consistent with
the EPA standards, and therefore this revision to update the state
standards is approvable.

III. What part 62 revisions are being approved by EPA?
Section 111(d) of the CAA requires states to submit plans to
control certain pollutants (designated pollutants) at existing
facilities (designated facilities) whenever standards of performance
have been established under section 111(b) for new sources of the same
type, and EPA has established emission guidelines for such existing
sources. A designated pollutant is any pollutant for which no air
quality criteria have been issued, and which is not included on a list
published under section 108(a) or section 112(b)(1)(A) of the CAA, but
emissions of which are subject to a standard of performance for new
stationary sources.
EPA originally promulgated emission guidelines for existing HMIWI
in 1997, in accordance with sections 111 and 129 of the Act. EPA
codified revised regulations at 40 CFR part 60, subpart Ce. A HMIWI
unit as defined in 40 CFR 60.51c is any device that combusts any amount
of hospital waste and/or medical/infectious waste. Under section
129(b)(2) of the Act and the revised guidelines at subpart Ce, states
with subject sources must submit to EPA plans that implement the
Emission Guidelines.
Subpart B of 40 CFR part 60 establishes procedures to be followed
and requirements to be met in the development and submission of state
plans for controlling designated pollutants. 40 CFR part 62 provides
the procedural framework for the submission of these plans. As
aforementioned, when designated facilities are located in a state, a
state must develop and submit a plan for the control of the designated
pollutant.
However, 40 CFR 62.06 provides that if there are no existing
sources of the designated pollutant in the state, the state may submit
a letter of certification to that effect, or negative declaration, in
lieu of a plan. The negative declaration exempts the state from the
requirement to develop a plan meeting the requirements of subpart Ce.
The State of Iowa HMIWI plan and related state rule were approved
by EPA on June 17, 1999, and codified in 40 CFR Part 62, subpart Q. (64
FR 32427) Since that time, the two designated incinerator facilities in
Iowa subject to the plan have been dismantled, according to
documentation submitted by IDNR.
Therefore, on March 1, 2011, EPA received a submittal from IDNR
requesting EPA approval of a negative declaration for HMIWI and
requesting EPA to approve Iowa's revocation of the prior 111(d) plan
for HMIWI units in Iowa. The state submittal included supplemental
documentation about the dismantling and removal of the previously-
affected HMIWI, the name of each designated facility that has been
permanently shutdown, and the year it was dismantled.
Pursuant to the authority of Iowa Code section 455B.133, the Iowa
Environmental Protection Commission amended the 111(d) plan to remove
the emission guidelines for existing HMIWI in Chapter 23, ``Emission
Standards for Contaminants,'' paragraph 23.1 (5) ``b'' of the Iowa
Administrative Code. EPA requested that Iowa verify that amendments to
EPA's original 1997 HMIWI requirements finalized in 2009 and 2011 did
not affect Iowa's negative declaration (74 FR 51367 and 76 FR 18407).
IDNR submitted documentation on May 28, 2013, reaffirming that these
amendments to the rule did not impact their negative declaration that
determined no units within the state are subject to the emissions
guidelines of HMIWI. EPA is approving the rescission of the emission
guidelines and 111 (d) plan for existing HMIWI.
IV. What part 70 revisions are being approved by EPA?
EPA is approving two changes to IDNR's Title V program. One change
is the updating of the Air Quality Bureau's zip code, as previously
stated; the other is to approve a change to the requirements for
submitting a Title V operating permit application. Facility owners or
operators submitting electronic applications are no longer required to
also submit a hard copy application to EPA Region 7, as EPA now has
access to IDNR's Title V database, which allows EPA to review
electronic copies of applications.
For clarification, the revision to remove the requirement that
facilities submit a hard copy application to EPA does not pertain or
otherwise interfere with the independent obligations the state is
responsible for under the Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Rule
(CROMERR) found at 40 CFR Part 3. As stated in 74 FR 68692, EPA is not
acting on the revision to Iowa Administrative Code 567-22.105(1) that
allows facility owners or operators to submit an electronic Title V
operating permit application until the State obtains approval from EPA
that its electronic document receiving system is consistent with
CROMERR.
V. What final action is EPA taking?
EPA is taking final action to approve changes to Chapter 22.9
related to the State's plan for Regional Haze.
EPA is taking final action to approve changes to the definitions of
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in Chapter 20 and 33.
EPA is taking final action to approve changes to several chapters
which update the zip code for the IDNR Air Quality Bureau Offices.
EPA is taking final action to approve an exemption from
construction permitting in Chapter 22.1 for certain temporary diesel
engines used in periodic testing and maintenance of natural gas
pipelines.
EPA is taking final action to approve changes to Chapter 24 which
allow for initial reports of excess emissions to be made via email.
EPA is taking final action to approve minor changes to IDNR's stack
testing notifications and test protocols in Chapter 25.1.
EPA is taking final action to approve amendments to Chapter 28, to
include the adoption by reference of the NAAQS for 2008 Ozone, 2008
Lead, and 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide into Iowa's Federally-approved SIP.
[[Page 63890]]
EPA is taking final action to amend Iowa's 111(d) plan for HMIWI
units to: (1) approve Iowa's negative declaration and (2) approve
Iowa's revocation of the 111(d) plan for HMIWI units in Iowa. However,
if an affected Iowa HMIWI unit is discovered in the State of Iowa in
the future, all the requirements of the Federal plan (including
revisions or amendments), part 62, subpart HHH, will be applicable to
the affected unit, until Iowa adopts and EPA approves a new plan to
address such unit.
EPA is taking final action to approve two changes to IDNR's Title V
program, updating of the Air Quality Bureau's zip code, and removing
the requirement to submit a hard-copy application to EPA Region 7.
EPA is processing these actions in a direct final action because
the revisions make routine changes to the existing rules which are
noncontroversial. Therefore, we do not anticipate any adverse comments.
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.
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
Under the CAA, the Administrator is required to approve a SIP
submission that complies with the provisions of the Act and applicable
Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). Thus, in
reviewing SIP submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
does not impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state
law.
This action is not a ``significant regulatory action'' under the
terms of Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and is
therefore not subject to review under Executive Orders 12866 and 13563
(76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011).
For this reason, this action is also not subject to Executive Order
13211, ``Actions Concerning Regulations That Significantly Affect
Energy Supply, Distribution, or Use'' (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001). This
action merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and
imposes no additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law.
This action also merely approves a state negative declaration as
meeting Federal requirements and imposes no additional requirements.
The State's negative determination is a determination that there are no
sources in the State subject to the emission guidelines; therefore, a
111(d) plan is not needed.
Accordingly, the Administrator certifies that this rule will not
have a significant economic impact on a substantial number of small
entities under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).
Because this rule approves a state negative declaration, withdrawal of
prior 111(d) plan, and approves pre-existing requirements under state
law, and does not impose any additional enforceable duty beyond that
required by state law, it does not contain any unfunded mandate or
significantly or uniquely affect small governments, as described in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4).
This rule also does not have tribal implications because it will
not have a substantial direct effect on one or more Indian tribes, on
the relationship between the Federal Government and Indian tribes, or
on the distribution of power and responsibilities between the Federal
Government and Indian tribes, as specified by Executive Order 13175 (65
FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
This action also does not have Federalism implications because it
does not have substantial direct effects on the states, on the
relationship between the national government and the states, or on the
distribution of power and responsibilities among the various levels of
government, as specified in Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August
10, 1999). This action merely approves a state rule implementing a
Federal standard, and approves a negative declaration and 111(d) plan
revocation, and does not alter the relationship or the distribution of
power and responsibilities established in the CAA.
In reviewing state submissions, EPA's role is to approve state
choices, provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. In this
context, in the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State
to use voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to
disapprove a state submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA when it reviews a state
submission, to use VCS in place of a state submission that otherwise
satisfies the provisions of the CAA. Thus, the requirements of section
12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995
(15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply. Additionally, in reviewing section
111(d)/129 plan submissions, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. In this context, in
the absence of a prior existing requirement for the State to use
voluntary consensus standards (VCS), EPA has no authority to disapprove
a 111(d)/129 plan submission for failure to use VCS. It would thus be
inconsistent with applicable law for EPA, when it reviews a 111(d)/129
plan submission, to use VCS in place of a 111(d)/129 plan submission
that otherwise satisfies the provisions of the CAA. The requirements of
section 12(d) of the National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act
of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not apply.
This rule also is not subject to Executive Order 13045,
``Protection of Children from Environmental Health Risks and Safety
Risks'' (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997) because it approves state rules
implementing Federal standards and a state negative declaration as
required by Federal regulations. This rule does not impose an
information collection burden under the provisions of the Paperwork
Reduction Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). Burden is defined at 5
CFR 1320.3(b).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this rule and other
required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by December 24, 2013. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this rule for the purposes of judicial review nor does
it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may be
filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or action.
Parties with objections to this direct final rule are encouraged to
file a comment in response to the parallel notice of proposed
rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules section of
today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate petition for
judicial review of this direct final
[[Page 63891]]
rule, so that EPA can withdraw this direct final rule and address the
comment in the final rulemaking.
This action, including the SIP revisions and approval of the State
of Iowa section 111(d)/129 negative declaration and rescission of the
HMIWI plan may not be challenged later in proceedings to enforce its
requirements (See section 307(b)(2).)
