SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

On November 2, 2015 (80 FR 67335), EPA published a final rule approving a SIP revision for Iowa that approved Iowa's November 4, 2011, submission addressing the requirements of the CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2) as applicable to the 2008 Lead NAAQS. Specifically, EPA approved the following infrastructure elements: 110(a)(2)(A), (B), (C), (D), (E), (F), (G), (H), (J), (K), (L), and (M) which are necessary to implement, maintain, and enforce the 2008 Lead NAAQS. EPA also approved Iowa's May 11, 2015, submission to include article 1, section 2 of the Iowa Constitution, and portions of the Iowa code and the Iowa Administrative Code to codify the relevant state laws as applied to conflict of interest requirements of sections 110(a)(2)(E) and 128 of the CAA.

This technical amendment revises the erroneous part 52 instructions published in the Federal Register on November 2, 2015 (80 FR 67335) in the third column on page 67336 to read as follows: Amend § 52.820 by adding new entries (e) (40) and (41).
