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.
III. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is taking final action to approve revisions to the Iowa SIP and the Operating Permits Program. The 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. The revisions also add regulatory cross-references, and define electronic format, electronic submittal, and electronic submittal format to facilitate the Departments 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 federallyapproved rules, and ensure Federal enforceability of the states revised air program rules.
