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 is
also proposing to approve revisions to the Iowa Operating Permit
Program. The revisions include updating definitions, regulatory
references, requiring facilities to submit electronic emissions
inventory information under the state's Title V permitting program, and
updating references for the most recent federally approved minimum
specifications and quality assurance procedures for performance
evaluations of continuous monitoring systems. EPA is also proposing to
approve previous revisions to the Operating Permit Program that allow
for electronic document submission that meet EPA's requirements. These
revisions will not impact air quality and will ensure consistency
between the state and Federally approved rules.

II. What is being addressed in this document?

    EPA is proposing to approve a submission from the State of Iowa to

revise its SIP and the Operating Permits Program. On August 12, 2020,
the Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) submitted a request to
revise the SIP to incorporate recent changes to Iowa Administrative
Code, including provisions relating to electronic submittal of
information to IDNR that were revised in previous state rulemakings.
The following chapters are impacted:
     Chapter 20, ``Scope of Title--Definitions;''
     Chapter 22, ``Controlling Pollution;''
     Chapter 23, ``Emission Standards for Contaminants;''
     Chapter 25, ``Measurement of Emissions;'' and
     Chapter 33, ``Special Regulations and Construction Permit
Requirements for Major Stationary Sources--Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality.''
    The revision includes a request for EPA to approve references in
Chapter 22 to allow for electronic submittal of air quality permit
applications, streamlined alternatives to traditional applications,
such as registrations, notifications, and template applications,
construction permit applications, acid rain permit applications,
notifications, emissions inventory, certifications, determination
requests, fees, forms, and payments. Iowa previously submitted requests
for EPA to approve these provisions into the SIP, but either
subsequently withdrew the provisions or EPA did not propose to approve
the revisions for reasons discussed in more detail below.
    The revision includes the new definitions of ``electronic format'',
``electronic submittal'', and ``electronic submittal format''. The
revisions also update the construction permit application provisions to
specify the types of submittals that may be included in an electronic
submittal option, updates methods and procedures for stack sampling and
associated analytical methods, updates the definition of ``volatile
organic compounds'' for prevention of significant deterioration (PSD)
and updates the applicability of the PSD rule to construction of any
new ``major stationary source''. The specific changes and EPA analysis
are discussed in more detail below.
    In the August 12, 2020 submittal, the State included a request to
revise the definition of ``anaerobic lagoons''. On February 3, 2021,
the State clarified that it wished to exclude the definition of
``anaerobic lagoons'' from its request to revise the SIP. EPA has not
historically approved the definition of ``anaerobic lagoons'' into the
Iowa SIP because the CAA does not regulate odors from these units; air
releases (odors) from anaerobic lagoons are regulated by the state and
local regulations.
    Sections 111 and 112 of the Clean Air Act (CAA) allow EPA to
delegate authority to states for New Source Performance Standards
(NSPS) and National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants
(NESHAPs). EPA has delegated authority to Iowa for approved portions of
these sections of the CAA. Changes made to Iowa's Chapter 23 pertaining
to new and revised NSPS and NESHAPs are not directly approved into the
SIP, but rather, are adopted by reference. Thus, EPA is not proposing
to approve these changes to Iowa Administrative Code into the state's
SIP.

III. What SIP revisions are being proposed by EPA?

    EPA is proposing the following revisions to the Iowa SIP:
    Chapter 20, Subrule 20.1, Scope of Title-Definitions: The state
revised the definition of ``EPA reference method'' to adopt methods for
performance test (stack test) and continuous monitoring systems,
approved by EPA on November 14, 2018. The update will ensure that state
reference methods are equivalent to Federal reference methods; thus,
EPA proposes to approve this change.
    Chapter 20, Subrule 20.1, Scope of Title-Definitions: The state
also revised the definition of ``volatile organic compound'', or
``VOC'' to adopt the definition in 40 CFR 51.100(s) as amended on
November 18, 2018; thus, EPA proposes to approve this change.
    Chapter 20, Subrule 20.1, Scope of Title-Definitions: The state
also adopted the new definition of ``electronic format'' in chapters 20
through 35, to mean a software, internet-based, or other electronic
means specified by the department for submitting information or fees.
EPA proposes to approve this change.
    Chapter 22, subrules 22.1(3): Pursuant to the Cross Media
Electronic Reporting Rule (CROMERR) (40 CFR part 3), EPA published a
document on December 9, 2015 in the Federal Register, approving Iowa's
State and Local Emissions Inventory System (SLEIS) for electronic
reporting under Parts 51 and 70. 80 FR 76474 (December 9, 2015). As
such, EPA is approving the following provision of subrule 22.1(3) which
states,
    `` References to ``application(s)'', ``certification(s)'',
``determination request(s)'', ``emissions inventory(ies)'', ``fees'',
``form(s)'', ``notification(s)'', ``payment(s)'', ``permit
application(s)'', and ``registration(s),'' in rules 567-22.1(455B)
through 22.10(455B) may, as specified by the department, include
electronic submittal . .''
    In addition, the new definition of ``electronic format'' has been
adopted to allow electronic submittal of ``application(s),''
``certification(s),'' ``determination request(s),'' ``emissions
inventory(ies),'' ``fees,'' ``form(s),'' ``notification(s),''
``payment(s),'' ``permit application(s),'' and ``registration(s)'' in
rules 567-22.1(455B) through 567-22.10(455B).
    Chapter 25, Subrule 25.1(9) Measurement of Emissions: The State
revised subrule 25.1(9),``Methods and Procedures,'' to adopt the
performance test method as specified in 40 CFR part 51, appendix M (as
amended through November 14, 2018); 40 CFR part 60, appendix A (as
amended through November 14, 2018); 40 CFR part 61, appendix B (as
amended through August 30, 2016); and 40 CFR part 63, appendix A (as
amended through November 14, 2018). This subrule was also revised to
adopt the minimum performance specifications and quality assurance
procedures for performance evaluations of continuous monitoring systems
as specified in 40 CFR part 60, appendix B (as amended through November
14, 2018); 40 CFR part 60, appendix F (as amended November 14, 2018);
40 CFR part 75, appendix A (as amended through August 30, 2016); 40 CFR
part 75, appendix B (as amended through August 30, 2016); and 40 CFR
part 75, appendix F (as amended through August 30, 2016). The proposed
update will ensure that state reference methods are equivalent to
Federal reference methods and are no more stringent than Federal
methods; thus, EPA proposes to approve this change.

IV. What operating permits plan revisions are being proposed by EPA?

    EPA is proposing to approve the following revisions to the
Operating Permits Program:
     Chapter 22, subrules 22.100(455B), and 22.120(455B):
Pursuant to CROMERR), EPA published a document on January 31, 2020 in
the Federal Register, approving Iowa's Environmental Application System
for Air (EASY Air) for its operating permits program. January 31, 2020
(85 FR 5657). As such, EPA is approving the new definition of
``electronic format'' for the operating permits program to allow
electronic submittal of ``application(s),'' ``certification(s),''
``determination request(s),'' ``emissions inventory(ies),'' ``fees,''
``form(s),'' ``notification(s),'' ``payment(s),'' ``permit
application(s),'' and ``registration(s)'' in rules 567-22.100(455B)
through 567-

22.116(455B), 567-22.120(455B) through 567-22.146(455B).
     Chapter 22, subrule 22.100(455B): Also as discussed above,
the definition of ``EPA reference method'' has similarly been revised
in definitions for the operating permits program to adopt performance
test (stack test) and continuous monitoring systems specified by EPA in
40 CFR part 51, appendix M (as amended through November 14, 2018); 40
CFR part 60, appendix A (as amended through November 14, 2018); 40 CFR
part 61, appendix B (as amended through August 30, 2016); and 40 CFR
part 63, appendix A (as amended through November 14, 2018), 40 CFR part
60, appendix B (as amended through November 14, 2018); 40 CFR part 60,
appendix F (as amended through November 14, 2018); 40 CFR part 75,
appendix A (as amended through August 30, 2016); 40 CFR part 75,
appendix B (as amended through August 30, 2016); and 40 CFR part 75,
appendix F (as amended through August 30, 2016). Referencing the
updated method will ensure that state methods are equivalent to federal
reference methods; thus, EPA proposes to approve this change.
     Chapter 22, subrule 22.128(4), Submission of copies:
Revises the rule to require one copy of the acid rain permit
application to either be submitted by mail to the air quality bureau or
by electronic submittal. EPA proposes to approve this change.
     Chapter 33, Special Regulations and Construction Permit
Requirements for Major Stationary Sources--Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) of Air Quality: The State amended subrule 33.3(1)
to include a definition of ``volatile organic compounds'' or ``VOC'',
which means any compound included in the definition of ``volatile
organic compounds'' found at 40 CFR 51.100(s) as amended through
November 28, 2018.
     The state also amended 33.3(2) introductory paragraph,
``Applicability'', to update the requirements of this rule (PSD program
requirements), which apply to the construction of any new ``major
stationary source'' as defined in subrule 33.3(1) or any project at an
existing major stationary source in an area designated as attainment or
unclassifiable under section 107(d)(1)(A)(ii) or (iii) of the Act. In
addition to the provisions set forth in rules 567-33.3(455B) through
567-33.9(455B), the provisions of 40 CFR part 51, appendix W (Guideline
on Air Quality Models) as amended through January 17, 2017, are adopted
by reference.
    In the cover letter of its August 12, 2020, SIP revision request,
Iowa requested EPA approval of previously submitted rule changes for
its electronic document receiving system (now ``Easy Air'') for
construction and Title V permit applications, emissions reporting, and
reporting for a component of its Title V program for Acid Rain.\1\ The
items were previously placed on public notice and approved by the Iowa
Environmental Protection Commission as noted below.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Iowa inadvertently requested approval of Rule 22.3(3)
Conditions of approval (for construction permits), paragraph ``f'',
third sentence, pertaining to electronic submittal methods for
construction permits. EPA previously approved this provision in a
direct final action. January 16, 2014 (79 FR 2787).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

     Rule 22.1(3), Construction Permits: The introductory
paragraph, second sentence, which states, ``Alternatively, the owner or
operator may apply for a construction permit for a new or modified
stationary source through the electronic submittal method specified by
the department.'' This subrule revision was requested by Iowa as Item
#5 (ARC 7143 B) in a letter to EPA dated November 4, 2008, following
public notice for a 30-day public comment period beginning February 4,
2008. No comments were received. In EPA's Direct Final SIP approval
dated December 29, 2009 (74 FR 248) EPA did not take action on this
subrule revision because Iowa had not yet received approval for its
electronic document receiving system as meeting the requirements of
CROMERR. Iowa also placed the subrule revision on public notice for
comment from January 18 through February 20, 2017. EPA commented that
the submission of permit applications via email is not CROMERR
compliant. Iowa requested an applicability determination from EPA which
confirmed EPA's initial finding. In response to the applicability
determination, Iowa amended its subrule to remove the provision for
accepting permit applications via email and placed the revisions on
public notice from August 16 through September 5, 2017. This
information is detailed in EPA's proposed rulemaking dated July 26,
2018 (83 FR 144).
     Subrule 22.105(1), Duty to Apply: Introductory paragraph,
third sentence, which states, ``Alternatively, an owner or operator may
submit a complete and timely application through the electronic
submittal format specified by the department.'' This subrule revision
was requested as Item #8 (ARC 7143 B) by Iowa in a letter to EPA dated
November 4, 2008, following public notice for a 30-day public comment
period beginning February 4, 2008. No comments were received. In EPA's
Direct Final SIP approval dated December 29, 2009 (74 FR 248) EPA did
not act on this subrule revision because Iowa had not yet received
approval for its electronic document receiving system as meeting the
requirements of the CROMERR. Iowa also placed this subrule revision on
public notice for comment again from January 18 to February 20, 2017,
and again from August 16 through September 5, 2017, due to a comment
EPA had submitted on another subrule revision. No comments were
received on the revision to subrule 22.105(1).
     Subrule 22.106(2) Emissions inventory and documentation
due dates: Only sentence in this subrule, which states, ``The emissions
inventory shall be submitted through the electronic format specified by
the department.'' This subrule revision was made available for public
comment from December 19, 2018 through January 22, 2019. No comments
were received.
     Subrule 22.128(4), Submission of Copies (for approval into
Acid Rain Program as a component of the Title V Program): The first
sentence was revised to require one copy of the acid rain permit
application to be submitted to the air quality bureau. In addition,
Iowa requested approval of the sentence, which states, ``Alternatively,
the designated representative may, as specified by the department,
submit the application through electronic submittal.'' This subrule
revision was listed as Item #7 in the public notice for this
rulemaking; however, it was mistakenly listed on page 2 of the cover
letter dated August 12, 2020, as a ``previously submitted rule
change.'' Iowa issued a clarification to EPA by email dated March 15,
2021, which has been included in the docket supporting this action,
requesting EPA's approval of this subrule revision.
    Iowa published a Notice of Intent to Approve its electronic
document receiving system for public comment from January 13 to
February 15, 2010, and EPA approved Iowa's system as compliant with
CROMERR. December 9, 2016 (80 FR 236). As noted above, each of these
subrule revisions have been placed on public notice for review and
comment. No adverse comments were received.

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

    The August 12, 2020 submission met the public notice requirements
for SIP submissions in accordance with 40 CFR

51.102. The State held a public comment period from March 11 to April
13, 2020, with a public hearing on April 13, 2020. No public comments
were received.
    The items related to electronic submittal of permit applications
and emissions inventories, were placed on public notice at various
dates specified above. The supporting documentation has been included
in the docket. The only comment made specifically regarding the
language pertaining to Iowa's electronic document receiving system was
made by EPA and was resolved by EPA's approval of Iowa's electronic
document receiving systems pursuant to CROMERR requirements.
    The above submittals satisfy 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. Finally, the revisions are also consistent with applicable
EPA requirements of Title V of the CAA and 40 CFR part 70.

VI. What actions are proposed?

    EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Iowa SIP and the
Operating Permits Program. The proposed revisions update the
definitions of ``EPA Reference Method'' and ``volatile organic
compounds'', updates the definitions to adopt the most current EPA
methods for measuring air pollutant emissions, performance testing, and
continuous monitoring, and to reflect changes EPA has made to the
definitions. Proposed revisions also add regulatory cross-references,
and define ``electronic format,'' ``electronic submittal,'' and
``electronic submittal format'' to facilitate the Department's launch
of EASY Air, a new online electronic method for submitting air quality
permit applications.
    EPA has determined that approval of these revisions will not impact
air quality and will ensure consistency between the state and
federally-approved rules, and ensure Federal enforceability of the
state's revised air program rules.

VII. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, EPA is proposing to include regulatory text in an
EPA final rule 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 proposed 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).

VIII. 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);
     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 Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; 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).

Standard Preparations, Limits of Potency, and Dating Period
Limitations for Biological Products; Confirmation of Effective Date

AGENCY: Food and Drug Administration, HHS.

ACTION: Direct final rule; confirmation of effective date.

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

SUMMARY: The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is confirming the
effective date of September 16, 2016, for the final rule that appeared
in the Federal Register of May 4, 2016. The direct final rule amends
the general biological products standards relating to dating periods
and removes certain standards relating to standard preparations and
limits of potency. FDA is taking this action to update outdated
requirements, and accommodate new and evolving technology and testing
capabilities without diminishing public health concerns. This action is
part of FDA's retrospective review of its regulations in response to an
Executive order. This document confirms the effective date of the
direct final rule.

DATES: Effective date of final rule published in the Federal Register
of May 4, 2016 (81 FR 26687), confirmed: September 16, 2016.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Tami Belouin, Center for Biologics

402-7911.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Federal Register of May 4, 2016 (81
FR 26687), FDA solicited comments concerning the direct final rule for
a 75-day period ending July 18, 2016. FDA stated that the effective
date of the direct final rule would be on September 16, 2016, 60 days
after the end of the comment period, unless any significant adverse
comment was submitted to FDA during the comment period. FDA did not
receive any significant adverse comments.

    Authority: Therefore, under the biological products provisions
of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S.C. 216, 262, 263, 263a, and
264) and the drugs and general administrative provisions of the
Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (21 U.S.C. 321, 331, 351, 352,
353, 355, 360, 360c, 360d, 360h, 360i, 371, 372, 374, and 381), and
under authority delegated to the Commissioner of Food and Drugs, 21
CFR part 610 is amended. Accordingly, the amendments issued thereby
are effective.

    Dated: August 1, 2016.

    Any person desiring to intervene or to protest in any of the above
proceedings must file in accordance with Rules 211 and 214 of the
Commission's Rules of Practice and Procedure (18 CFR 385.211 and
385.214) on or before 5 p.m. Eastern time on the specified comment
date. It is not necessary to separately intervene again in a subdocket
related to a compliance filing if you have previously intervened in the
same docket. Protests will be considered by the Commission in
determining the appropriate action to be taken, but will not serve to
make protestants parties to the proceeding. Anyone filing a motion to
intervene or protest must serve a copy of that document on the
Applicant. In reference to filings initiating a new proceeding,
interventions or protests submitted on or before the comment deadline
need not be served on persons other than the Applicant.
    The Commission encourages electronic submission of protests and
interventions in lieu of paper, using the FERC Online links at http://www.ferc.gov. To facilitate electronic service, persons with Internet
access who will eFile a document and/or be listed as a contact for an
intervenor must create and validate an eRegistration account using the
eRegistration link. Select the eFiling link to log on and submit the
intervention or protests.
    Persons unable to file electronically should submit an original and
14 copies of the intervention or protest to the Federal Energy
Regulatory Commission, 888 First St., NE., Washington, DC 20426.

Commission's eLibrary system by clicking on the appropriate link in the
above list. They are also available for review in the Commission's
Public Reference Room in Washington, DC. There is an eSubscription link
