40 CFR Part 62 

[EPA–R07–OAR–2015–0427; FRL–9934–68– 

Region 7] 

Approval and Promulgation of State 

Plans for Designated Facilities and 

Pollutants; Missouri; Control of 

Mercury Emissions From Electric 

Generating Units 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is taking direct final 

action to approve a revision to the 

Missouri State Plan received May 7, 

2013. This revision rescinds the state 

rule and associated state plan 

controlling mercury emissions from 

electric generating units. This rule is 

being rescinded because the Federal 

Clean Air Mercury Rule, which is the 

basis for this rule and associated plan, 

has been vacated and removed from the 

Code of Federal Regulations. This action 

will make Missouri’s State Plan 

consistent with Federal regulations. 

DATES: This direct final rule will be 

effective November 24, 2015, without 

further notice, unless EPA receives 

adverse comment by October 26, 2015. 

If EPA receives adverse comment, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule in the Federal Register 

informing the public that the rule will 

not take effect. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– 

OAR–2015–0427, by one of the

that is placed in the public docket and 

made available on the Internet. If you 

submit an electronic comment, EPA 

recommends that you include your 

name and other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. If EPA 

cannot read your comment due to 

technical difficulties and cannot contact 

you for clarification, EPA may not be 

able to consider your comment. 

Electronic files should avoid the use of 

special characters, any form of 

encryption, and be free of any defects or 

viruses.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ 

or ‘‘our’’ refer to EPA. This section 

provides additional information by 

addressing the following: 

I. What is being addressed in this document? 

II. Have the requirements for approval of a 

Section 111(d) plan revision been met? 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

I. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve a revision to the Missouri State 

Plan received May 7, 2013. This 

revision rescinds Missouri state rule 10 

CSR 10–6.368, Control of Mercury 

Emissions from Electric Generating 

Units, and associated state plan. The 

state rule and plan was originally 

incorporated into the Missouri State 

mstockstill on DSK4VPTVN1PROD with RULES

Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 186 / Friday, September 25, 2015 / Rules and Regulations 57733 

Plan on January 7, 2008, (73 FR 3194) 

following the March 15, 2005, 

promulgation of the Federal Clean Air 

Mercury Rule (CAMR) which 

permanently capped and reduced 

mercury emissions from coal-fired 

power plants through a regional 

mercury trading program (70 FR 28606). 

On February 8, 2008, the D.C. Circuit 

Court vacated EPA’s rule removing 

power plants from the Clean Air Act 

(CAA) list of sources of hazardous air 

pollutants, and at the same time, the 

Court vacated the Clean Air Mercury 

Rule. New Jersey v. EPA, 517 F.3d 574 

(D.C. Cir. 2008). On February 16, 2012, 

EPA replaced CAMR with the Mercury 

and Air Toxics Standards (MATS rule) 

(77 FR 9304). Missouri has accepted 

delegation of this standard (80 FR 

10596). Therefore, this rule and 

associated plan is being rescinded and 

removed from the Missouri State Plan to 

make the plan consistent with Federal 

regulations. 

II. Have the requirements for approval 

of a Section 111(d) plan revision been 

met? 

The Missouri Air Conservation 

Commission adopted the rescission of 

10 CSR 10–6.368 on February 5, 2013. 

No comments were received on this 

state action. The Missouri Air 

Conservation Commission has full legal 

authority to develop rules pursuant to 

section 643.050 of the Missouri Air 

Conservation Law. The State followed 

all applicable administrative procedures 

in proposing and adopting the rule 

actions. After publication by the 

Missouri Secretary of State in the Code 

of State Regulations, the rescission of 

the rule became effective May 30, 2013. 

The State of Missouri submitted the rule 

and rescission to us for approval 

pursuant to section 111(d). We have 

evaluated the state plan rescission 

against criteria in 40 CFR part 60, 

subpart B ‘‘Adoption and Submittal of 

State Plans for Designated Facilities.’’ 

The state plan rescission meets all of the 

applicable requirements. 

III. What action is EPA taking? 

EPA is taking direct final action to 

approve a revision to the Missouri State 

Plan to rescind Missouri state rule 10 

CSR 10–6.368, Control of Mercury 

Emissions from Electric Generating 

Units, and associated state plan. 

We are publishing this direct final 

rule without a prior proposed rule 

because we view this as a 

noncontroversial action and anticipate 

no adverse comment. However, in the 

‘‘Proposed Rules’’ section of this 

Federal Register, we are publishing a 

separate document that will serve as the 

proposed rule to approve the State Plan 

revision if adverse comments are 

received on this direct final rule. We 

will not institute a second comment 

period on this action. Any parties 

interested in commenting must do so at 

this time. For further information about 

commenting on this rule, see the 

ADDRESSES section of this document. 

If EPA receives adverse comment, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal in the 

Federal Register informing the public 

that this direct final rule will not take 

effect. We will address all public 

comments in any subsequent final rule 

based on the proposed rule. 

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

Under the CAA, the Administrator is 

required to approve a SIP submission 

that complies with the provisions of the 

Act and applicable Federal regulations. 

42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 

Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. Accordingly, this action 

merely approves state law as meeting 

Federal requirements and does not 

impose additional requirements beyond 

those imposed by state law. For that 

reason, this action: 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to review by the Office of 

Management and Budget under 

Executive Orders 12866 (58 FR 51735, 

October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, 

January 21, 2011); 

• Does not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 

U.S.C. 3501 et seq.); 

• Is certified as not having a 

significant economic impact on a 

substantial number of small entities 

under the Regulatory Flexibility Act (5 

U.S.C. 601 et seq.); 

• Does not contain any unfunded 

mandate or significantly or uniquely 

affect small governments, as described 

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act 

of 1995 (Pub. L. 104–4); 

• Does not have Federalism 

implications as specified in Executive 

Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 

1999); 

• Is not an economically significant 

regulatory action based on health or 

safety risks subject to Executive Order 

13045 (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997); 

• Is not a significant regulatory action 

subject to Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 

28355, May 22, 2001); 

• Is not subject to requirements of 

Section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) because 

application of those requirements would 

be inconsistent with the CAA; and 

• Does not provide EPA with the 

discretionary authority to address, as 

appropriate, disproportionate human 

health or environmental effects, using 

practicable and legally permissible 

methods, under Executive Order 12898 

(59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994). 

The SIP is not approved to apply on 

any Indian reservation land or in any 

other area where EPA or an Indian tribe 

has demonstrated that a tribe has 

jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian 

country, the rule does not have tribal 

implications and will not impose 

substantial direct costs on tribal 

governments or preempt tribal law as 

specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 

FR 67249, November 9, 2000). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this action and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, 

petitions for judicial review of this 

action must be filed in the United States 

Court of Appeals for the appropriate 

circuit by November 24, 2015. Filing a 

petition for reconsideration by the 

Administrator of this direct final rule 

does not affect the finality of this action 

for the purposes of judicial review nor 

does it extend the time within which a 

petition for judicial review may be filed, 

and shall not postpone the effectiveness 

of such rule or action. This action may 

not be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See section 

307(b)(2).)

Revisions; Correction 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Final rule; correction. 

SUMMARY: EPA is removing a sentence 

regarding the effective date for judicial 

review purposes in the preamble to a 

final rule that appeared in the Federal 

Register of August 21, 2015 (80 FR 

51019). EPA included this sentence in 

the preamble to the final rule in error. 

Since the final rule does not fall within 

any of the actions listed in Clean Water 

Act section 509, it was not necessary to 

specify an effective date for judicial 

review purposes in the preamble. With 

this correction there is no delay in the 

effective date for purposes of judicial 

review, and parties choosing to do so 

may therefore seek judicial review at 

this time. 

DATES: This correction is effective as of 

August 21, 2015.

[Docket ID FEMA–2015–0001; Internal

Suspension of Community Eligibility 

AGENCY: Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, DHS. 

ACTION: Final rule. 

SUMMARY: This rule identifies 

communities where the sale of flood 

insurance has been authorized under 

the National Flood Insurance Program 

(NFIP) that are scheduled for 

suspension on the effective dates listed 

within this rule because of 

noncompliance with the floodplain 

management requirements of the 

program. If the Federal Emergency 

Management Agency (FEMA) receives 

documentation that the community has 

adopted the required floodplain 

management measures prior to the 

effective suspension date given in this 

rule, the suspension will not occur and 

a notice of this will be provided by 

publication in the Federal Register on a 

subsequent date. Also, information 

identifying the current participation 

status of a community can be obtained 

from FEMA’s Community Status Book 

(CSB). The CSB is available at http://

www.fema.gov/fema/csb.shtm. 

DATES: The effective date of each 

community’s scheduled suspension is 

the third date (‘‘Susp.’’) listed in the 

third column of the following tables. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: If 

you want to determine whether a 

particular community was suspended 

on the suspension date or for further 

information, contact Bret Gates, Federal 

Insurance and Mitigation 

Administration, Federal Emergency 

Management Agency, 500 C Street SW., 

Washington, DC 20472, (202) 646–4133. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NFIP 

enables property owners to purchase 

Federal flood insurance that is not 

otherwise generally available from 

private insurers. In return, communities 

agree to adopt and administer local 

floodplain management measures aimed 

at protecting lives and new construction 

from future flooding. Section 1315 of 

the National Flood Insurance Act of 

1968, as amended, 42 U.S.C. 4022, 

prohibits the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance unless an appropriate public 

body adopts adequate floodplain 

management measures with effective 

enforcement measures. The 

communities listed in this document no 

longer meet that statutory requirement 

for compliance with program 

regulations, 44 CFR part 59. 

Accordingly, the communities will be 

suspended on the effective date in the 

third column. As of that date, flood 

insurance will no longer be available in 

the community. We recognize that some 

of these communities may adopt and 

submit the required documentation of 

legally enforceable floodplain 

management measures after this rule is 

published but prior to the actual 

suspension date. These communities 

will not be suspended and will continue 

to be eligible for the sale of NFIP flood 

insurance. A notice withdrawing the 

suspension of such communities will be 

published in the Federal Register. 

In addition, FEMA publishes a Flood 

Insurance Rate Map (FIRM) that 

identifies the Special Flood Hazard 

Areas (SFHAs) in these communities. 

The date of the FIRM, if one has been 

published, is indicated in the fourth 

column of the table. No direct Federal 

financial assistance (except assistance 

pursuant to the Robert T. Stafford 

Disaster Relief and Emergency 

Assistance Act not in connection with a 

flood) may be provided for construction 

or acquisition of buildings in identified 

SFHAs for communities not 

participating in the NFIP and identified 

for more than a year on FEMA’s initial 

FIRM for the community as having 

flood-prone areas (section 202(a) of the 

Flood Disaster Protection Act of 1973, 

42 U.S.C. 4106(a), as amended). This 

prohibition against certain types of 

Federal assistance becomes effective for 

the communities listed on the date 

shown in the last column. The 

Administrator finds that notice and
