Region 7] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; State of 

Missouri; Cross-State Air Pollution 

Rule 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

portions of a November 20, 2015, State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) submittal 

from Missouri concerning allocations of 

Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) 

emission allowances. Under CSAPR, 

large electricity generating units in 

Missouri are subject to Federal 

Implementation Plans (FIPs) requiring 

the units to participate in CSAPR’s 

Federal trading program for annual 

emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) and 

one of CSAPR’s two Federal trading 

programs for annual emissions of sulfur 

dioxide (SO2). This action would 

approve Missouri’s adoption into its SIP 

of state regulations establishing statedetermined allocations to replace EPA’s 

default allocations to Missouri units of 

CSAPR allowances for annual NOX

emissions and annual SO2 emissions for 

2017 and later years. EPA is proposing 

to approve the SIP revision because it 

meets the requirements of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) and EPA’s regulations for 

approval of an abbreviated SIP revision 

replacing EPA’s default allocations of 

CSAPR emission allowances with statedetermined allocations. Approval of this 

SIP revision would not alter any 

provision of CSAPR’s Federal trading 

programs for annual NOX emissions and 

annual SO2 emissions as applied to 

Missouri units other than the allowance 

allocation provisions, and the FIPs 

requiring the units to participate in 

those trading programs (as modified by 

the SIP revision) would remain in place. 

EPA is not proposing to act at this time 

on the portion of Missouri’s SIP 

submittal concerning allocations of 

CSAPR allowances for ozone-season 

NOX emissions.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– 

OAR–2016–0302, to http://

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

document proposes to take action on a 

revision to the SIP for Missouri 

concerning allocations of allowances 

used in the CSAPR1 Federal trading 

program for annual emissions of NOX

and annual emission of SO2. We have 

published a direct final rule approving 

the State’s SIP revision (s) in the Rules 

and Regulations section of this Federal 

Register, because we view this as a 

noncontroversial action and anticipate 

no relevant adverse comment. We have 

explained our reasons for this action in 

the preamble to the direct final rule. If 

we receive no adverse comment, we will 

not take further action on this proposed 

rule. If we receive adverse comment, we 

will withdraw the direct final rule and 

it will not take effect. We would address 

all public comments in any subsequent 

final rule based on this proposed rule. 

We do not intend to institute a second 

comment period on this action. Any 

parties interested in commenting must 

do so at this time. For further 

information, please see the information 

provided in the ADDRESSES section of 

this document. 

Large electricity generating units in 

Missouri are subject to CSAPR FIPs that 

require the units to participate in the 

Federal CSAPR NOX Annual Trading 

Program and the Federal CSAPR SO2

Group 1 Trading Program.2 Each of 

CSAPR’s Federal trading programs 

includes default provisions governing 

the allocation among participating units 

of emission allowances used for 

compliance under that program. CSAPR 

also provides a process for the 

submission and approval of SIP 

revisions to replace EPA’s default 

allocations with state-determined 

allocations. 

The SIP revision approved in the 

direct final rule incorporates into 

Missouri’s SIP state regulations 

establishing state-determined allowance 

allocations to replace EPA’s default 

allocations to Missouri units of CSAPR 

NOX Annual allowances and CSAPR 

SO2 Group 1 allowances issued for the 

control periods in 2017 and later years. 

EPA is approving the SIP revision 

because it meets the requirements of the 

CAA and EPA’s regulations for approval 

of an abbreviated SIP revision replacing 

EPA’s default allocations of CSAPR 

emission allowances with statedetermined allocations. Approval of the 

SIP revision does not alter any provision 

of the CSAPR NOX Annual Trading 

Program or the CSAPR SO2 Group 1 

Trading Program as applied to Missouri 

units other than the allowance 

allocation provisions, and the FIPs 

requiring the units to participate in 

those programs (as modified by the SIP 

revision) remain in place. Large 

electricity generating units in Missouri 

are also subject to an additional CSAPR 

FIP requiring them to participate in the 

Federal CSAPR NOX Ozone Season 

Trading Program. While Missouri’s SIP 

submittal also seeks to replace the 

default allocations of CSAPR NOX

Ozone Season allowances to Missouri 

units, EPA is not proposing to act on 

that portion of the SIP submittal at this 

time. Approval of this SIP revision 

concerning other CSAPR trading 

programs has no effect on the CSAPR 

NOX Ozone Season Trading Program as 

applied to Missouri units, and the FIP 

requiring the units to participate in that 

program remains in place.
