I. Background II. What is being addressed in this document?
III. Have the requirements for approval of a sip revision been met?
IV. What action is the EPA taking?
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background On June 29, 2021, the EPA proposed to approve Iowas infrastructure SIP
submission for the 2015 O3 NAAQS in the Federal Register 86 FR 34175. The EPA solicited comments on the proposed approval of the infrastructure SIP submission and received no comments.
II. What is being addressed in this document?
The EPA is approving the infrastructure SIP submission received from the state on November 30, 2018 in accordance with section 110a1 of the CAA. Specifically, the EPA is approving Iowas SIP as meeting the following infrastructure elements of section 110a2 of the CAA: A through C, DiIIprevention of significant deterioration of air quality prong 3 and protection of visibility prong 4, Dii, E through H, and J through M.
Elements of section 110a2DiI
significant contribution to nonattainment prong 1 and interfering with maintenance of the NAAQS prong 2 will be addressed in a separate action.
Section 110a2I was discussed in the submission; however, the EPA does

not expect infrastructure SIP
submissions to address element I.
Section 110a2I requires states to meet the applicable SIP requirements of part D of the CAA relating to designated nonattainment areas. The specific part D
submissions for designated nonattainment areas are subject to different submission schedules than those for section 110 infrastructure elements. The EPA will act on part D
attainment plan SIP submissions through a separate rulemaking governed by the requirements for nonattainment areas, as described in part D.
A Technical Support Document TSD
in the docket provides additional details of this action, including an analysis of how the SIP meets the applicable CAA
section 110 requirements for infrastructure SIPs.
III. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
The State met the public notice requirements for SIP submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The EPA determined that the submission satisfied the completeness criteria of 40
CFR part 51, appendix V. The State provided a public comment period for this SIP revision from September 18, 2018 to October 19, 2018 and received two comments related to a request for more stringent ozone requirements and an increase in ozone monitors. The state provided an adequate response to these comments. In addition, as explained in more detail in the TSD which is part of this docket, the infrastructure SIP
submission meets the substantive SIP
requirements of the CAA, including section 110 and implementing regulations. The public comment period on the EPAs proposed rule opened June 29, 2021, the date of its publication in the Federal Register and closed on July 29, 2021. During this period, the EPA
received no comments.
IV. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is approving elements of the November 30, 2018, submission from the State of Iowa addressing the infrastructure elements for the 2015 O3
NAAQS. Specifically, the EPA is approving Iowas SIP as meeting the following infrastructure elements of section 110a2: A through C, DiII prong 3 and prong 4, Dii, E
through H, J through M. The EPA
intends to act on the elements of section 110a2DiIprong 1 and prong 2
in a subsequent rulemaking. The EPA is not addressing Section 110a2I as it is the EPAs interpretation of the CAA
that these elements do not need to be addressed in the context of an infrastructure SIP submission.
