Air Plan Approval; State of Iowa; Attainment Redesignation for
2008 Lead NAAQS and Associated Maintenance Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve the State of Iowa's request to redesignate portions
of Pottawattamie County, Council Bluffs, Iowa to attainment for the
2008 lead (Pb) National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS). EPA's
approval of the redesignation request is based on the determination
that the Council Bluffs area has met the criteria for redesignation to
attainment set forth in the Clean Air Act (CAA), including the
determination that the area has attained the standard. Additionally,
EPA is granting final approval of the State's plan for maintaining the
2008 Pb NAAQS in the Council Bluffs area for ten years beyond
redesignation.

DATES: This final rule is effective on November 5, 2018.

ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-R07-OAR-2018-0532. All documents in the docket are listed on

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' refer to EPA. This section provides additional information by
addressing the following:

I. What is being addressed in this document?
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP submission been met?
III. EPA's Response To Comments
IV. What action is EPA taking?
V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What action is being addressed in this document?

EPA is granting final approval of Iowa's request to redesignate the
Council Bluffs area to attainment for the 2008 Pb NAAQS. On September
18, 2017, the State submitted a request for redesignation that
demonstrates NAAQS attainment and an associated maintenance plan to
ensure that the area continues to attain the standard. The basis for
EPA's final approval is that the area met the requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA) for approval as discussed below.

II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP submission been met?

On October 15, 2008, EPA promulgated a revision to the Pb NAAQS,
lowering the standard from 1.5 micrograms per cubic meter ([micro]g/
m\3\) to 0.15 [micro]g/m\3\ (73 FR 66963). The State conducted ambient
air monitoring for Pb in the Council Bluffs area near Pb emitting
facilities. The 2010 through 2012 design value for Pb at the monitor
was 0.26 [micro]g/m\3\, violating the 2008 Pb NAAQS.
Effective December 31, 2011, EPA designated a portion of
Pottawattamie County, Council Bluffs, Iowa, as nonattainment for the
2008 Pb NAAQS (76 FR 72097). EPA approved the State's SIP revision for
the plan to bring the area into attainment of the Pb NAAQS in a Federal
Register action dated February 26, 2016 (81 FR 9770). The area attained
the 2008 Pb NAAQS by the statutory deadline of December 31, 2016. The
2014 through 2016 design value for the area is 0.10 [micro]g/m\3\.
EPA's proposed approval document dated August 16, 2018, (83 FR
40728) presents a detailed analysis of the CAA requirements for
redesignating a nonattainment area to attainment. Specifically, section
107(d)(3)(E) of the CAA allows for redesignation provided the following
criteria are met: (1) The Administrator determines that the area has
attained the applicable NAAQS; (2) the Administrator has fully approved
the applicable implementation plan for the area under section 110(k);
(3) the improvement in air quality is due to permanent and enforceable
reductions in emissions resulting from implementation of the applicable
SIP and applicable Federal air pollutant control regulations and other
permanent and enforceable reductions; (4) the Administrator has fully
approved a maintenance plan for the area as meeting the requirements of
section 175A; and (5) the State containing such area has met all
requirements applicable to the area under section 110 and part D of
title I of the CAA. EPA believes the area has met these criteria and
that the

[[Page 50025]]

State's maintenance plan will ensure that the area continues to attain
the standard.

III. EPA's Response to Comments

The public was provided an opportunity to comment on the proposed
document from August 16, 2018, through September 17, 2018. During this
period, EPA received one comment which is available in the docket but
outside of the scope of the proposed rule. Therefore, EPA will not
provide a specific response to the comment.

IV. What action is EPA taking?

EPA is granting final approval of Iowa's request to redesignate the
Council Bluffs area to attainment for the 2008 Pb NAAQS. Based on the
detailed analysis presented in its proposed approval document dated
August 16, 2018, (83 FR 40728), EPA believes that the State's September
18, 2017, request for redesignation demonstrates NAAQS attainment and
the associated maintenance plan will ensure that the area continues to
attain the standard. Thus, EPA is approving the redesignation request
for the area and associated maintenance plan.
EPA has determined that these actions are effective immediately
upon publication under the authority of 5 U.S.C. 553(d). The purpose of
the 30-day waiting period prescribed in section 553(d) is to give
affected parties a reasonable time to adjust their behavior and prepare
before the final rule takes effect. Section 553(d)(1) allows an
effective date less than 30 days after publication if a substantive
rule ``relieves a restriction.'' These actions qualify for the
exception under section 553(d)(1) because they relieve the State of
various requirements for the Area. Furthermore, section 553(d)(3)
allows an effective date less than 30 days after publication ``as
otherwise provided by the agency for good cause found and published
with the rule.'' EPA finds good cause to make these actions effective
immediately pursuant to section 553(d)(3) because they do not create
any new regulatory requirements such that affected parties would need
time to prepare before the actions take effect.

V. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

Under the 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);
Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2,
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under
Executive Order 12866.
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 the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTA) because this rulemaking does not
involve technical standards; 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).
