The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and the operating permits program for the State of Missouri which were received on November 6, 2013, November 20, 2014, March 27, 2014, July 7, 2014, and July 14, 2014. The revisions submitted by the state include amendments to rules relating to reference methods, definitions and common reference tables, ambient air quality standards, and a rule rescission related to air quality control measures for sources clustered in small land areas. Many of the revisions are administrative in nature and either incorporate by reference or update state rules to match Federal regulations. Some are more substantive, but are non- controversial. In addition, they provide more clarity for the regulated public. This direct final action will amend the SIP to include revised regulations which will then be more consistent with Federal regulations. These revisions do not have an adverse effect on air quality. EPA's proposed approval of these rule revisions is being done in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

[EPA-R07-OAR-2015-0006; FRL 9923-67-Region 7]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans,
State Plans for Designated Facilities and Pollutants, and Operating
Permits Program; State of Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) and the
operating permits program for the State of Missouri which were received
on November 6, 2013, November 20, 2014, March 27, 2014, July 7, 2014,
and July 14, 2014. The revisions submitted by the state include
amendments to rules relating to reference methods, definitions and
common reference tables, ambient air quality standards, and a rule
rescission related to air quality control measures for sources
clustered in small land areas. Many of the revisions are administrative
in nature and either incorporate by reference or update state rules to
match Federal regulations. Some are more substantive, but are non-
controversial. In addition, they provide more clarity for the regulated
public. This direct final action will amend the SIP to include revised
regulations which will then be more consistent with Federal
regulations. These revisions do not have an adverse effect on air
quality. EPA's proposed approval of these rule revisions is being done
in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
April 3, 2015.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2015-0006, by mail to Amy Bhesania, Environmental Protection
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Boulevard,
Lenexa, Kansas 66219. Comments may also be submitted electronically or
through hand delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions in
the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located in the rules
section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Amy Bhesania, Environmental Protection
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Boulevard,
Lenexa, Kansas 66219 at (913) 551-7147, or by email at
bhesania.amy@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the
State Implementation Plan (SIP), the 40 CFR part 62 state plans
(111(d)), and the 40 CFR part 70 operating permits program, for the
State of Missouri's requests to amend the following rules:

1. 10 CSR 10-6.040, Reference Methods, received November 6, 2013.
2. 10 CSR 10-6.040, Reference Methods, received November 20, 2014.
3. 10 CSR 10-6.020, Definitions and Common Reference Tables,
received March 27, 2014.
4. 10 CSR 10-5.240, Additional Air Quality Control Measures May be
Required When Sources are Clustered in a Small Land Area, received
July 7, 2014.
5. 10 CSR 10-6.010, Air Quality Standards, received July 14, 2014.

The revisions submitted by the state include revisions to update
standards and reference methods, to clarify, add or amend definitions
and reference tables, to rescind an outdated rule, and to update and
clarify ambient air quality standards. For more information on the
state's submissions, specific revisions to each rule and EPA's review
of the revisions, see the Technical Support Document (TSD) that is a
part of this docket.
In the final rules section of this Federal Register, 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 to this action.
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 action.
If 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 action. EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on part of this rule
and if that part can be severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may
adopt as final those parts of the rule that are not the subject of an
adverse comment. For additional information, see the direct final rule
which is located in the rules section of this Federal Register.
