Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 88 / Tuesday, May 8, 2007 / Proposed Rules 26045 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a SIP submission for 

failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA, when it reviews a SIP submission, 

to use VCS in place of a SIP submission 

that otherwise satisfies the provisions of 

the Clean Air Act. Thus, the 

requirements of section 12(d) of the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 

272 note) do not apply. This proposed 

rule would not impose an information 

collection burden under the provisions 

of the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 

(44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.).

Revisions to the Arizona State

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a revision to the Maricopa County 

Environmental Services Department 

(MCESD) portion of the Arizona State 

Implementation Plan (SIP). This 

revision concerns particulate matter 

(PM–10) emissions from open burning. 

We are proposing approval of a local 

rule that regulates these emission 

sources under the Clean Air Act as 

amended in 1990 (CAA or the Act). 

DATES: Any comments on this proposal 

must arrive by June 7, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

proposal addresses the approval of local 

MCESD Rule 314. In the Rules and 

Regulations section of this Federal 

Register, we are approving this local 

rule in a direct final action without 

prior proposal because we believe this 

SIP revision is not controversial. If we 

receive adverse comments, however, we 

will publish a timely withdrawal of the 

direct final rule and address the 

comments in subsequent action based 

on this proposed rule. We do not plan 

to open a second comment period, so 

anyone interested in commenting 

should do so at this time. If we do not 

receive adverse comments, no further 

activity is planned. For further 

information, please see the direct final 

action.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Missouri; 

Interstate Transport of Pollution 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing a revision to 

the Missouri State Implementation Plan 

(SIP) for the purpose of approving the 

Missouri Department of Natural 

Resources’ (MDNR) actions to address 

requirements of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) of 

the Clean Air Act. Section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i) requires each state to 

submit a SIP that prohibits emissions 

that adversely affect another state’s air 

quality through interstate transport. 

MDNR has adequately addressed the 

four distinct elements related to the 

impact of interstate transport of air 

pollutants. These include prohibiting 

significant contribution to downwind 

nonattainment of the National Ambient 

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), 

interference with maintenance of the 

NAAQS, interference with plans in 

another state to prevent significant 

deterioration of air quality, and 

interference with efforts of other states 

to protect visibility. The requirements 

for public notification were also met by 

MDNR. 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

June 7, 2007. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07–
