ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[IA 058-1058b; FRL-6308-4]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Iowa

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan 
(SIP) revision submitted by the state of Iowa pertaining to a sulfur 
dioxide (SO2) control strategy for the Cedar Rapids, Iowa, 
area. Approval of this SIP revision will make Federally enforceable 
source emission reduction requirements and achieve attainment and 
maintenance of the SO2 National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (NAAQS).
    In the final rules section of the Federal Register, the EPA is 
approving the state's SIP 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. 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 rule. If the 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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 rule. The EPA will not 
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received in writing by April 12, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Wayne Kaiser, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 726 Minnesota 
Avenue, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Kaiser at [phone].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: February 25, 1999.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region VII.
