ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

40 CFR Parts 52 and 70 

[EPA–R07–OAR–2010–0176; FRL–9248–5] 

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans and Operating 

Permits Program; State of Missouri 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a revision to Missouri’s State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) and 

Operating Permits Program. EPA is 

proposing to approve the rescission of 

initial compliance dates in the Missouri 

SIP. These requirements were 

established more than thirty years ago 

and are obsolete. EPA is also proposing 

to approve revisions to the Operating 

Permits Program to change the reporting 

threshold for small sources and remove 

references to the requirement to 

annually set the emission fee. Approval 

of these revisions will ensure 

consistency between the State and the 

Federally-approved rules. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

February 23, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– 

OAR–2010–0176, by mail to Chrissy 

Wolfersberger, Environmental 

Protection Agency, Air Planning and 

Development Branch, 901 North 5th 

Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. 

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.

or by e-mail at 

Wolfersberger.chris@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of the Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the State’s 

SIP and Operating Permits Program 

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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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.

Fisheries of the Caribbean, Gulf of 

Mexico, and South Atlantic; Reef Fish 

Fishery of the Gulf of Mexico; Greater 

Amberjack Management Measures 

AGENCY: National Marine Fisheries 

Service (NMFS), National Oceanic and 

Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 

Commerce. 

ACTION: Proposed rule; request for 

comments. 

SUMMARY: NMFS issues this proposed 

rule that would implement a regulatory 

amendment to the Fishery Management 

Plan for the Reef Fish Resources of the 

Gulf of Mexico (FMP) prepared by the 

Gulf of Mexico Fishery Management 

Council (Council). This proposed rule 

would establish a June through July 

seasonal closure of the recreational 

sector for greater amberjack in or from 

the Gulf of Mexico (Gulf) exclusive 

economic zone (EEZ). The intended 

effect of the proposed rule is to maintain 

the rebuilding plan targets for the 

overfished greater amberjack resource, 

reduce the likelihood of exceeding the 

recreational quota for greater amberjack, 

minimize in-season quota closures for 

greater amberjack during peak 

recreational fishing months, and 

increase social and economic benefits 

for Gulf recreational fishers by 

maximizing the number of fishing days 

available to the recreation sector. This 

rule also proposes revisions to the 

codified text to clarify the definition of 

a venting device used to deflate the 

abdominal cavity of a Gulf reef fish. 

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before February 23, 2011.
