Reporting Emission Data, Emission Fees and Process Information

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
revisions to the Operating Permits Program for the State of Missouri 
submitted on March 16, 2015. These revisions update the emissions fee 
for permitted sources as set by Missouri Statute from $40 to $48 per 
ton of air pollution emitted annually, effective January 1, 2016.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
February 16, 2016.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2015-0790, to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot 
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any 
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any 
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) 
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. 
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a 
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment 
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA 
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the state's Title V revision to 10 C.S.R. 
10-6.110 ``Reporting Emission Data, Emission Fees, and Process 
Information'' 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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.
