The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by the State of Missouri relating to the Ten Year Limited Maintenance Plan for the St. Louis area for the 8-Hour Carbon Monoxide (CO) National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). On April 8, 2014, the Missouri Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) submitted to EPA a second 10- year maintenance plan for the St. Louis area for the CO NAAQS. This maintenance plan addresses maintenance of the CO NAAQS for a second 10- year period beyond the original redesignation. In accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is approving the revision because the State adequately demonstrates that the St. Louis Maintenance area will maintain air quality standards for CO through the year 2022.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted by 
the State of Missouri relating to the Ten Year Limited Maintenance Plan 
for the St. Louis area for the 8-Hour Carbon Monoxide (CO) National 
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). On April 8, 2014, the Missouri 
Department of Natural Resources (MDNR) submitted to EPA a second 10-
year maintenance plan for the St. Louis area for the CO NAAQS. This 
maintenance plan addresses maintenance of the CO NAAQS for a second 10-
year period beyond the original redesignation. In accordance with the 
requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA is approving the revision 
because the State adequately demonstrates that the St. Louis 
Maintenance area will maintain air quality standards for CO through the 
year 2022.

November 2, 2015.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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

those parts of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment.
