Clean Air Act Proposed Final Full Approval of Operating Permits

Program and Approval of Delegation of Section 112(l); State of Iowa

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to grant final full approval of Iowa's Title

V operating permit program to meet the requirements of 40 CFR part 70.

In the final rules section of the Federal Register, the EPA is

approving the state's program as a direct final rule without prior

proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision

amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. An explanation for the

approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments

are received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is

contemplated in relation to this rule. If the EPA receives 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comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public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 rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period

on this document. Any parties interested in commenting should do so at

this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received in writing by

August 13, 1997.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Christopher D. Hess, Environmental

Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 726 Minnesota

Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christopher D. Hess at (913) 551-7213.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EPA granted interim approval to Iowa's

Title V program in an action effective October 2, 1995. The state was

responsible to make certain revisions within two years of that date in

order to receive final full approval. Iowa has made the necessary

revisions and now meets the criteria for final full approval. For

additional information, please refer to the summary provided in the

direct final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal

Register.

Dated: June 24, 1997.

U. Gale Hutton,

Acting Regional Administrator.
