Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Missouri

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MO-21-1-6443(b); FRL-5289-7]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of

Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: Missouri submitted its Rule 10 CSR 10-6.065, entitled

``Operating Permits,'' for Federal approval. The rule would establish a

mechanism for creating federally enforceable limitations that would

reduce sources' potential-to-emit such that sources could avoid major

source permitting requirements. This rulemaking proposes to approve

this rule as satisfying the requirements, set forth in the Federal

Register of June 28, 1989, and authorizes Missouri to issue federally

enforceable state operating permits addressing both criteria pollutants

(regulated under section 110 of the Clean Air Act) and hazardous air

pollutants (regulated under section 112). In the final rules section of

the Federal Register, the EPA is approving the state's State

Implementation Plan revision as a direct final rule without prior

proposal, because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision

amendment and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for

the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse

comments are received in response to this proposed rule, no further

activity is contemplated in relation to this rule. If the EPA receives

adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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 rule. The EPA will not institute a second

comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting

on this document should do so at this time.
