Section 1  -  Introduction

Mapes Panels, LLC (hereinafter referred to as `Mapes' or `the source') operates an existing architectural panel manufacturing facility located at 2929 Cornhusker Highway in Lincoln, Nebraska. Mapes is submitting this construction permit application as a request to classify the existing panel production facility as an area source of hazardous air pollutants (HAP) emissions and a no permit required source under the operating permit program.  The construction permit application has been deemed to be complete and accurate by the Department.
This facility will continue to produce laminated architectural panels consisting of various substrates, including but not limited to metal, plastic, wood, and glass.  The lamination process involves application of adhesive via spraying. Emissions from the spray coat applicator are controlled by a thermal oxidizer (TO).

Section 2  -  Permitting History
   2.1  -  Class I Operating Permit
      On January 28, 2008, Mapes Industries submitted an application to renew the Class I operating permit.  The emission calculations in the permit were based on an estimated maximum potential throughput rate of 76,672 gallons of adhesive.  The owner/operator elected to accept an adhesive throughput limit of 73,724 gallons of adhesive per year.
      In early August, 2008, while drafting the proposed operating permit, the LLCHD determined that 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart MMMM may apply to the source, as the panel laminating operation involved the spray coating of metal with adhesive.  The LLCHD contacted the EPA's Region 7 office to confirm that spray coating of adhesive was covered by Subpart MMMM, which the EPA confirmed to be true.  Though the permit was scheduled for renewal on September 10, 2008, issuance of the renewal permit was delayed indefinitely so LLCHD and Mapes personnel could determine the compliance status of Mapes.  Mapes was asked to obtain specific information regarding the adhesive used in their panel lamination process so the LLCHD could determine whether the adhesive would be considered a `compliant material' in accordance with the requirements of Subpart MMMM.  After several months of unsuccessful attempts to obtain the information, Mapes asked the LLCHD for assistance in obtaining the information form the material manufacturer.  June 1, 2009, the material manufacturer supplied the requested information to the Department.  It was determined in mid-August 2009 that the adhesive may or may not be a compliant material, depending on how it would be classified.
      In November of 2009, after investigating how the material would be classified under the rule, the LLCHD sought guidance from EPA Region 7 as to whether the adhesive would be considered a `general use' coating, or a `high performance architectural coating'.  Through multiple conversations with EPA Region 7, it was determined that the adhesive was not a `high performance architectural coating', and was considered a `general use' coating.  Because of the level of organic HAP in the adhesive, and the organic HAP emission limit set forth in Subpart MMMM, it was determined that the adhesive did not qualify as a compliant material, and that Mapes was in violation of the Subpart MMMM emission limit.
      Further investigation into the matter from the LLCHD and EPA Region 7 revealed that Mapes was also subject to 40 CFR Part 63 Subparts QQQQ and PPPP, as the same adhesive that is spray-coated onto metal is also applied to plastic and wood substrates.  On October 28, 2010, a Complaint and Order (Notice of Violation) was issued to Mapes Industries, Inc. for violating the emission limits set forth in Subparts MMMM, PPPP, and QQQQ.  Mapes Industries sought adhesive formulations that would qualify for the `compliant material' compliance option, but were unable to find a suitable adhesive formulation to replace the one already in use.  As such, the LLCHD determined that Mapes would have to meet compliance with the rules by utilizing the `emission rate with add-on controls' compliance option.  In late 2010, Mapes installed and began operating a regenerative thermal oxidizer to control organic HAP emissions from their panel laminating process.  On August 4, 2011, Mapes conducted emission testing on the regenerative thermal oxidizer to demonstrate the destruction/removal efficiency of the regenerative thermal oxidizer, and to demonstrate that the emission capture system qualifies as a `permanent total enclosure' as described in EPA Test Method 204.
   2.2  -  Class I (Title V) `Major Source' Operating Permit Renewal  -  January 1, 2013
      The operating permit renewal incorporated the applicable federal regulations set forth in 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts MMMM, PPPP, and QQQQ.  The permit also contained requirements designed to ensure compliance with the most stringent emission limit set forth under those rules, including a minimum destruction/removal efficiency of 98.1% for the `regenerative thermal oxidizer' (RTO) and to maintain the emission capture system as a `permanent total enclosure'.
  -  Class I (Title V) `Major Source' Operating Permit  -  Proposed Modification
      In September of 2013, Mapes notified the LLCHD that the `regenerative thermal oxidizer' (RTO) temperature being maintained on a 3-hour block average did not meet the minimum requirement of 1,715 °F as required in the January 1, 2013 operating permit renewal.  Mapes indicated that, when running lower adhesive application rates for certain substrates, the thermal oxidizer temperature would regularly fall below the minimum required temperature, which was the result of less `fuel' in form of VOCs being consumed in the RTO.  Mapes performed a subsequent performance test on November 20, 2013 to determine the destruction/removal efficiency of VOCs when running the oxidizer at a lower VOC load, and therefore a lower temperature.  The result of that performance test indicated that at a minimum 3-hour block average temperature of 1,620 °F, the RTO achieved a destruction/removal efficiency of 95.9%.  Even at this lower destruction/removal efficiency, Mapes will be well within compliance of their emission limits, using the current adhesive and adhesive formulation.
   2.4  -  Proposed Issuance of Construction Permit #199
      This document serves as the factual and legal basis for the proposed issuance of Construction Permit #199 to Mapes.
 On April 1, 2014, the Lincoln‐Lancaster County Health Department (LLCHD) issued Mapes a Title V permit to operate a Class I air contaminant source, which included requirements for applicable major source national emission standards for hazardous air pollutants (NESHAPs) Subparts MMMM, PPPP, and QQQQ. On June 28, 2017 Mapes submitted a timely and complete operating permit renewal application to the LLCHD.
 On January 25, 2018, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) retracted the previous `Once‐In‐Always‐In' (OIAI) policy as it pertained to the NESHAPs and Title V. The OIAI policy was established in a memo issued in 1995, and required that any source that operated as a major HAP emitter after the `first compliance date' of applicable MACT/NESHAP standards would always be considered a major HAP source under the applicable MACT/NESHAPs. The OIAI policy has prevented Mapes from avoiding the major source NESHAP Subparts MMMM, PPPP, and QQQQ requirements, despite having installed control equipment which greatly reduces emissions of HAPs and results in actual HAP emissions well below major source thresholds.  Rescission of the OIAI policy allows Mapes to become an area source of HAPs.  Because area sources of HAPs are not subject to the major source MACT standards in Subparts MMMM, PPPP, and QQQQ, Mapes would no longer be subject to these subparts upon issuance of a construction permit that establishes the facility as an area source of HAPs.
 On May 21[st], 2018, Mapes submitted a minor source construction permit application requesting that the LLCHD withdraw the June 28, 2017 operating permit renewal application concurrent with issuance of a construction permit to establish the facility as an area source of HAPs, as Mapes will no longer have potential emissions above either the Class I or Class II operating permit thresholds. Additionally, Mapes will no longer be subject to any of the major source NESHAPs, including Subparts MMMM, PPPP, and QQQQ.
         The sections that follow provide more information on the source, the nature of emissions from the source, evaluation of the potential to emit, and a discussion of conditions set forth in the draft permit.
Section 3  -  Source Characterization
   3.01  -  Source Description
      Mapes' previous operating permit identifies the spray coat applicator process as subject to NESHAPs Subparts MMMM, PPPP, and QQQQ. NESHAP Subparts MMMM, PPPP, and QQQQ pertain to surface coating of metal, wood, and plastic at major HAP facilities. Mapes became subject to these major source NESHAP requirements because the facility did not request enforceable minor source permit limitations on HAP emissions as of the applicable compliance dates for each of the rules.
      Based on the applicable NESHAPs, Mapes installed a TO to control emissions associated with the spray coat applicator. The TO has been tested and is shown to reduce HAP emissions by over 95%. The general operating schedule of the plant has resulted in actual HAP emissions well below the major source thresholds for many years.
      In order to ensure that Mapes remains a minor source of HAPs and a no-permit-required source under the operating permit program, the facility‐wide HAP emissions shall be limited to less than 2.5 tons per year for any individual HAP and less than 10 tons per year for combined HAPs. This construction permit does not pertain to a new, modified, or reconstructed source of HAPs.  Therefore, the T‐BACT requirements in Article 2, Section 27, paragraph (B) of the LLCAPCPRS do not apply to this permitting action.
      Mapes has calculated potential‐to‐emit (PTE) for the adhesive application process using a TO destruction efficiency of 95%, the VOC and HAP contents from the most recent Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for the adhesive currently used, and the adhesive throughput value that reaches just below the Class II threshold for single HAP (2.5 tpy). This adhesive throughput value is approximately twice the actual throughput in recent years.
      Since the NESHAPs are no longer applicable, this construction permit requires the use of a thermal oxidizer (TO) as a federally enforceable permit requirement and the maintenance of the average combustion chamber temperature at or above the level established during a manufacturer performance test, or at the level recorded during the most recent valid performance test. This will require Mapes to maintain the TO combustion chamber temperature at a level that ensures adequate control to remain a minor HAP source.
      The emissions unit(s) set forth in Section 3.02 (below) will be subject to the requirements of the proposed construction permit.

Because the potential to emit is limited by the permit to levels that are lower than the Class II operating permit thresholds set forth in Article 2, Section 5, paragraph (A)(2) of the LLCAPCPRS, this source will no longer require a Class I (Title V) operating permit, and also will not require a Class II operating permit.

   5.06  -  Non-Applicable Requirements  -  Narrative Discussion
      Many of the Specific Conditions of this permit, explained in greater detail in the following section, have been established based on self-imposed conditions agreed upon by the owner/operator to establish this source as an `area source' of hazardous air pollutants, and also to avoid applicability of `maximum achievable control technology' standards for hazardous air pollutants (also referred to as `MACT') set forth in 40 CFR Part 63, Subparts MMMM, PPPP, and QQQQ.  The combination of an adhesive use limit and a minimum destruction/removal efficiency (DRE) for the thermal oxidizer will maintain facility-wide emissions at levels that are lower than the Class II operating permit thresholds of >=2.5 tons of any individual HAP, and/or >=10.0 tons of total combined HAPs.
Section 6  -  Discussion of Proposed Permit Conditions, Monitoring, Reporting, Notification and Record Keeping Requirements
      The following conditions of the proposed permit contain monitoring, reporting, and record keeping requirements, a brief description of the condition is provided:
   6.01  -  General Conditions
      Conditions II through XXVIII are general conditions that are applicable to all sources receiving a construction permit.  There will not be an in-depth discussion of these requirements, except to note the following General Conditions specifically related to monitoring, reporting, notification, and record-keeping:
         	VI	 - 	Fees
         	XI	 -  - 	Annual Emission Reporting
         	XII(B)	 - 	Notification of Source Modifications
         	XIX(E)	 - 	`Credible Evidence Rule'
         	XX	 - 	Startup, Shutdown, and Malfunction (SSM) Provisions
         	XXV	 - 	Notification of Anticipated Startup
         	XXVI	 - 	Permit Maintenance Requirements
   6.02  -  Specific Conditions
      The following are specific conditions of the proposed construction permit:
         	XXVIII.	 -  	Specific Requirements for the Permitted Emission Units.  These conditions apply to all emission units not otherwise addressed in a Specific Condition of the proposed permit.
               (A)	Throughput Limits & Operating Requirements.
            	(1)	 - 	The requirements set forth under this condition have been established based on self-imposed conditions agreed upon by the owner/operator for the reasons described in Section 5.06 of this document.
            	(2)	 - 	The requirements set forth under this condition establish that the proposed source shall be constructed and operated in a manner that is consistent with that described in the approved application.  Any change in the method of operation that would impact emissions must be analyzed prior to implementation to determine any impact on potential to emit.
            	(3)-(4)	 - 	The requirements set forth under these conditions are intended to ensure that the units are operated in such a manner that their contributions to air pollution are minimized, and to incorporate any elections made in the approved application by reference.
               (B)	Emission Limits & Emission Control Requirements.
            	(1) & (5)	 - 	The requirements set forth under these conditions are incorporated as applicable requirements from Article 2, Section 20 of the LLCAPCPRS.  Specific emission limit(s) set forth in Condition XXVIII(B)(1) have been calculated using the methods and formulas established in Table 20-1 of Section 20.
            	(2)	 - 	The requirements set forth under this condition have been established based on self-imposed conditions agreed upon by the owner/operator for the reasons described in Section 5.06 of this document.
            	(3)	 - 	The emission control requirements set forth under this condition incorporate the self-imposed emission controls agreed upon by the owner/operator in the approved application.  The destruction/removal efficiency (DRE) of the thermal oxidizer required under this condition has been agreed upon as the minimum DRE that thermal oxidizer shall be capable of achieving.  Mapes anticipates that the thermal oxidizer will be capable of achieving and maintaining a minimum DRE that exceeds the minimum DRE required under this condition.  A combination of the thermal oxidizer emission control efficiency and limiting adhesive throughput, in concert with monthly adhesive tracking, will ensure that the emissions from the  source remain lower than the HAP `major source' thresholds, as well as the Class II operating permit thresholds.
            			The thermal oxidizer operation and maintenance requirements set forth under this condition will ensure the thermal oxidizer is operated in a manner that is consistent with the operating parameters utilized during the performance testing used to establish the DRE.
            	(4)	 - 	The emission capture system requirements for the adhesive laminating line enclosure are designed to ensure that the emission capture system is being properly operated and maintained, and to ensure the capture system meets the requirements of a `permanent total enclosure' as established in EPA Test Method 204 at all times during operation of the adhesive laminating line.  As a `permanent total enclosure', Mapes will be able to assume 100% capture efficiency for the enclosure.
            	(6)	 - 	The requirement set forth under this condition is incorporated as an applicable requirement from Article 2, Section 24 of the LLCAPCPRS.
                (C)	Monitoring Requirements.
            	(1)	 - 	This condition establishes the requirement to perform monthly visible emission observations to ensure compliance with the opacity limit set forth in Conditions XV(C) and XXVIII(B)(5) of the  permit.
             	(2)	 - 	The monitoring requirements set forth under this condition have been established as means to demonstrate ongoing compliance with the thermal oxidizer requirements established in Condition XXVIII(B)(3).
            	(3)	 - 	The monitoring requirements set forth under this condition have been established as means to demonstrate ongoing compliance with the emission capture system requirements established in Condition XXVIII(B)(4).
            	(4)-(5)	 - 	These conditions establish the method by which the owner/operator shall demonstrate compliance with the emission limits set forth in Conditions XXVIII(B)(1) and XXVIII(B)(6).
            	(6)-(7)	 - 	The monitoring requirements set forth under these conditions are intended to ensure that the owner/operator maintains records that are adequate to ensure the source remains below the adhesive use limit established in Condition XXVIII(A)(1).
               (D)	Record Keeping Requirements.
            	(1)	 - 	The record keeping requirements set forth in this condition will ensure that the owner/operator keeps adequate records to demonstrate on-going compliance with the visible emission opacity limit and opacity monitoring requirements set forth in Conditions XXVIII(B)(5) and XXVIII(C)(1).
            	(2)	 - 	The record keeping requirements set forth in this condition will ensure that the owner/operator keeps adequate records to demonstrate compliance with the emission control requirements in  Conditions XXVIII(B)(3)-(4), and the associated monitoring requirements in Conditions XXVIII(C)(2)-(3).
            	(3)	 - 	The record keeping requirements set forth in this condition will ensure that the owner/operator keeps adequate records to demonstrate compliance with the emission calculation and monitoring requirements Conditions XXVIII(C)(4)-(5).
            	(4)	 - 	The record keeping requirements set forth in this condition will ensure that the owner/operator keeps adequate records to demonstrate compliance with the adhesive throughput calculation and monitoring requirements Conditions XXVIII(C)(6)-(7).
            	(5)	 - 	The record keeping requirements set forth in this condition will ensure that the owner/operator keeps adequate records to demonstrate compliance with the requirements established in Conditions XXVIII(A)(3)-(4).
            	(6)	 - 	The record keeping requirements set forth in this condition will allow Department staff to view records pertaining to VOC and HAP emissions in order to verify that emissions are being calculated properly, based on actual VOC and HAP content in the material(s) used at the source.
            	(7)	 - 	The record keeping requirements set forth in this condition will allow Department staff to verify the accuracy of natural gas combustion records for the purposes of ensuring accurate emission calculations for the annual emission inventory.
            	(8)	 - 	The record(s) required under this condition are required records under 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart A (NESHAP MACT General Provisions).  For the purposes of this condition, maintaining a copy of this `Statement of Basis' document on-site will satisfy this record keeping requirement, as this document describes the reason(s) that Federal Regulations for affected source categories do not apply to this source.
            	(9)-(10)	 - 	The requirements set forth under these conditions serve to ensure that all records contain the information necessary to verify compliance with the permit for a duration of at least 5 years.
               (E)	Reporting Requirements.
            	(1)	 - 	This condition requires the owner/operator to report emissions to the Department annually, as required by Condition XI.
            	(2)	 - 	This condition requires the owner/operator to notify the Department in the event of excess visible emissions.
            	(3)-(5)	 - 	These conditions serve to ensure that the Department is informed of any change in the adhesive product or product formulation that Mapes plans to use at this source.  These conditions require the owner/operator to analyze the potential change in emissions, and notify the Department accordingly based on any change in potential to emit.  This will allow the Department to analyze what impact, if any, the change in adhesive will have on the source's potential to emit, what modifications to the construction permit (if any) would be required to allow for such a change, or if the change would require the owner/operator to obtain an operating permit.
                (F)	Other Requirements.
            	(1)-(2)	 - 	These conditions serve to ensure that the Department is aware of any changes to the emission units, and to ensure that the owner/operator complies with all applicable requirements in a timely manner.
Section 7  -  Summary of Permit Conditions Enforceable by Agency
         (1)	LLCHD (Local)  -  All conditions indicated in this permit, with the exception of 40 CFR Part 82, as referenced under Condition I(C).
   (2)	EPA (Federal)  -  All conditions indicated in this permit with the exception of General Condition (Regulations) I(B).

    Abstract: Title V of the Clean Air Act (Act) requires the EPA to
operate a federal operating permits program in areas not subject to an
approved state program. The EPA regulations setting forth the
requirements for the federal (EPA) operating permit program are at 40
CFR part 71. The part 71 program is designed to be implemented
primarily by the EPA in all areas where state and local agencies do not
have jurisdiction, such as Indian country and offshore, beyond states'
seaward boundaries. The EPA may also delegate authority to implement
the part 71 program on its behalf to a state, local or tribal agency,
if the agency requests delegation and makes certain showings regarding
its authority and ability to implement the program. One such delegate
agency for the part 71 program exists at present.
    In order to receive an operating permit for a major or other source
subject to the permitting program, the applicant must conduct the
necessary research, perform the appropriate analyses, and prepare the
permit application with documentation to demonstrate that its facility
meets all applicable statutory and regulatory requirements. Specific
activities and requirements are listed and described in the Supporting
Statement for the part 71 ICR.
    Under part 71, the permitting authority (the EPA or a delegate
agency) reviews permit applications, provides for public review of
proposed permits, issues permits based on consideration of all
technical factors and public input, and reviews information submittals
required of sources during the term of the permit. Under part 71, the
EPA reviews certain actions and performs oversight of any delegate
agency, consistent with the terms of a delegation agreement.
Consequently, information prepared and submitted by sources is
essential for sources to receive permits, and for federal and tribal
permitting agencies to adequately review the permit applications and
issue the permits, oversee implementation of the permits, and properly
administer and manage the program.
    Information that is collected is handled according to EPA's
policies set forth in title 40, chapter 1, part 2, subpart B--
Confidentiality of Business Information (see 40 CFR part 2). See also
section 114(c) of the Act.
    Form Numbers: The forms are 5900-01, 5900-02, 5900-03, 5900-04,
5900-05, 5900-06, 5900-79, 5900-80, 5900-81, 5900-82, 5900-83, 5900-84,
5900-85 and 5900-86.
    Respondents/affected entities: Industrial plants (sources) and
tribal permitting authorities.
    Respondent's obligation to respond: Mandatory (see 40 CFR part 71).
    Estimated number of respondents: 99 (total).
    Frequency of response: On occasion.
    Total estimated burden: 25,937 hours (per year). Burden is defined
at 5 CFR 1320.03(b).
    Total estimated cost: $1,689,347 (per year). There are no
annualized capital or operation & maintenance costs.
    Changes in the Estimates: There is a decrease of 11,692 hours in
the total estimated respondent burden compared with the ICR currently
approved by OMB. This decrease is due to updated estimates of the
number of sources and permits subject to the part 71 program, rather
than any new federal mandates. The changes in estimates are due to
shrinkage from the transfer of 36 permits from the part 71 to the part
70 program and due to a previous overestimate of the number of sources
that would get permits by the end of the previous ICR (which is the
start of the current ICR).

[EPA-R07-OAR-2018-0536; FRL-9981-19--Region 7]

Air Plan Approval; Iowa; Approval of the State Implementation
Plan and the Operating Permits Program

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the Iowa State Implementation Plan (SIP), and the
Operating Permits Program. The proposed revisions clarify the types of
mailing services that may be used for submitting construction and
operating permit applications, and clarify that applications are not
required to be submitted by certified mail. The

proposed revisions also eliminate the requirement for construction
permit applications for projects that will not emit greenhouse gases
(GHG) to submit the current separate three-page GHG form. In addition,
a revision to the operating permit program is being made to require
only one copy of the permit application instead of two. Finally, this
proposed action includes minor grammatical corrections. EPA has
reviewed these proposed revisions and determined that they will not
impact air quality and will ensure consistency between the state and
federally approved rules.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before August 27, 2018.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2018-0536 to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' refer to EPA. This section provides additional information by
addressing the following:

I. What is being addressed in this document?
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP and the operating
permits program revision been met?
III. What actions are proposed?
IV. Incorporation by Reference
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What is being addressed in this document?

    EPA is proposing to approve a submission from the state of Iowa to
revise the Iowa SIP and Operating Permits Program. The proposed
revisions to the SIP are to clarify the types of mailing services that
may be used for submitting construction permit applications to include
the U.S. Postal Service, private parcel delivery services, and hand
delivery. Construction permit applications are not required to be
submitted by certified mail. The proposed revisions also eliminate the
requirement for construction permit applications for projects that will
not emit greenhouses gases to submit the current three-page form.
    The proposed revisions to the operating permits program clarifies
the types of mailing services that may be used for submitting operating
permit applications to include the U.S. Postal Service, private parcel
delivery services, and hand delivery. Operating permit applications are
not required to be submitted by certified mail. This proposal to the
operating permits program is being made to require only one copy of the
operating permit application instead of two.
    This proposed action also includes minor grammatical corrections to
the SIP for construction permit rules and minor grammatical corrections
to the operating permits program rules.

II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP and the operating
permits program revision been met?

    The administrative rule amendments in this submission were first
published in the Iowa Administrative Bulletin as a Notice of Intended
Action on January 18, 2017. A public comment period was held from
January 18, 2017, to February 20, 2017, with a public hearing on
February 20, 2017. EPA submitted a comment during the public comment
period stating that the portion of the proposed amendment allowing
submittal of a construction permit application or a title V operating
permit application by email would not be approved until Iowa's
electronic document receiving system was approved pursuant to the Cross
Media Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) at 40 CFR part 3.\1\ In
response to this comment, Iowa requested an applicability determination
from EPA. A response from EPA dated May 25, 2017, was sent to Iowa
stating email applications would not be considered CROMERR compliant.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ On December 29, 2009 (See 74 FR 68692), EPA did not act on
Iowa's provision that allowed for electronic submittal for
construction permit applications (subrule 22.1(3)), and electronic
submittal for operating permit applications (subrule 22.105(1))
because Iowa's electronic document receiving system was not approved
pursuant to CROMERR.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    In response to the applicability determination, the state of Iowa
amended the rules to remove the provisions for email applications and
republished the Notice of Intended Action for public comment on August
16, 2017. A public comment period was held between August 16, 2017 and
September 5, 2017, with a public hearing held on September 5, 2017. No
comments were received during this period. The submission was sent to
EPA on January 4, 2018, and received January 9, 2018.
    The state submittal met the public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The submittal also
satisfied the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. In
addition, these revisions meet the substantive SIP requirements of the
CAA, including section 110 and implementing regulations. These
revisions are also consistent with applicable EPA requirements of Title
V of the CAA and 40 CFR part 70.

III. What actions are proposed?

    EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Iowa SIP, and the
Operating Permits Program. The proposed revisions clarify the types of
mailing services that may be used for submitting construction and
operating permit applications, and clarify that applications are not
required to be submitted by certified mail. The proposed revisions also
eliminate the requirement for construction permit applications or
projects that will not emit greenhouse gases (GHG) to submit the
current separate three-page GHG form. In addition, a revision to the
operating permit program is being made to require only one copy of the
permit application instead of two. Finally, this proposed action
includes minor grammatical corrections.

IV. Incorporation by Reference

    In this action, EPA is proposing to include in a final EPA rule
regulatory text that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the Iowa Regulations described in the amendments to 40 CFR
part 52 set forth below. EPA has made, and will continue to make, these
materials generally available through www.regulations.gov and at the
EPA Region 7 Office (please contact the person identified in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more
information).

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act (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. For that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     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);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTA) because this rulemaking does not
involve technical standards; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does
not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
