Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 88 / Tuesday, May 8, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 25975 

receive timely adverse comments, the 

direct final approval will be effective 

without further notice on July 9, 2007. 

This will incorporate the rule into the 

federally enforceable SIP. 

III. Statutory and Executive Order 

Reviews 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

therefore is not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. For 

this reason, this action is also not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action merely approves 

state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and imposes no additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this 

rule approves pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by state law, it 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). 

This rule also does not have tribal 

implications because it will not have a 

substantial direct effect on one or more 

Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

as specified by Executive Order 13175 

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state rule implementing a 

Federal standard, and does not alter the 

relationship or the distribution of power 

and responsibilities established in the 

Clean Air Act. This rule also is not 

subject to Executive Order 13045 

‘‘Protection of Children from 

Environmental Health Risks and Safety 

Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, April 23, 1997), 

because it approves a state rule 

implementing a Federal standard. 

In reviewing SIP submissions, EPA’s 

role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the 

absence of a prior existing requirement 

for the State to use voluntary consensus 

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 rule does 

not impose an information collection 

burden under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

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

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. section 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 rule 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 Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by July 9, 2007. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this rule 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).)

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; Missouri; 

Interstate Transport of Pollution 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is revising 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 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
25976 Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 88 / Tuesday, May 8, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 

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: This direct final rule will be 

effective July 9, 2007, without further 

notice, unless EPA receives adverse 

comment by June 7, 2007. If adverse 

comment is received, EPA will publish 

a timely withdrawal of the direct final 

rule in the Federal Register informing 

the public that the rule will not take 

effect.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Throughout this document whenever 

‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean 

EPA. This section provides additional 

information by addressing the following 

questions: 

What is being addressed in this document? 

What action is EPA taking? 

What is being addressed in this 

document? 

EPA is revising the SIP for the 

purpose of approving MDNR’s actions to 

address the requirements of the Clean 

Air Act (CAA) section 110(a)(2)(D)(i). In 

its request to revise the SIP, Missouri 

has also outlined the other provisions of 

section 110(a)(2) (the infrastructure SIP, 

to support the implementation, 

maintenance and enforcement of the 

NAAQS) and described how the state 

implements the infrastructure 

requirements. In this rule, EPA is only 

acting on the portion of the SIP 

addressing section 110(a)(2)(D)(i). EPA 

is taking separate action on this portion 

of the submission because EPA is 

obligated to promulgate a Federal plan 

if the state plan is not approved by May 

27, 2007. EPA intends to act on the 

other portion of the submission in the 

near future. 

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. The SIP must prevent sources 

in the state from emitting pollutants in 

amounts which will: (1) Contribute 

significantly to nonattainment of the 

NAAQS, (2) interfere with maintenance 

of the NAAQS in another state, (3) 

interfere with provisions to prevent 

significant deterioration of air quality, 

and (4) interfere with efforts to protect 

visibility. 

The EPA issued guidance on August 

15, 2006, relating to SIP submissions to 

meet the requirements of section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i). As discussed below, 

Missouri’s analysis of its SIP with 

respect to the statutory requirements is 

consistent with the guidance. 

The MDNR has addressed the first 

two of these elements by the adoption 

of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) 

model rules that require Missouri 

sources to participate in the EPAadministered cap and trade program for 

nitrogen oxides (NOX) and sulfur 

dioxide. Participation in this program 

will prohibit emissions from the state 

that would contribute significantly to 

nonattainment or interfere with the 

maintenance of the particulate matter 

and ozone NAAQS in any downwind 

state. As previously determined by EPA, 

submittal of a SIP revision to satisfy 

CAIR (submitted to EPA on March 13, 

2007) also fulfills the state’s obligations 

that pertain to ‘‘significant 

contribution’’ and ‘‘interference with 

maintenance’’ (70 FR 25162). It should 

be noted that EPA will act on Missouri’s 

CAIR SIP in a separate rulemaking, and 

this action makes no conclusion with 

respect to approvability of that 

submittal. 

The third element MDNR addressed 

was prevention of significant 

deterioration (PSD). For 8-hour ozone, 

the state has met the obligation, 

consistent with EPA’s guidance 

described previously, by confirming that 

major sources in the state are currently 

subject to PSD programs that implement 

the 8-hour ozone standard and that the 

state is on track to meet the June 15, 

2007, deadline for SIP submissions 

adopting any relevant requirements of 

the Phase II ozone implementation rule. 

For PM2.5, the state has confirmed that 

the state’s PSD program is being 

implemented in accordance with EPA’s 

interim guidance calling for the use of 

PM10 as a surrogate for PM2.5 for the 

purposes of PSD and nonattainment 

New Source Review (NSR). Controlling 

PM10 emissions and analyzing impacts 

on the environment serves as a surrogate 

approach for reducing PM2.5 emissions 


cprice-sewell on PROD1PC66 with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 72, No. 88 / Tuesday, May 8, 2007 / Rules and Regulations 25977 

and minimizing impacts to air quality. 

Although EPA has finalized major 

portions of the PM2.5 implementation 

rule, we have not yet finalized the 

portion relating to New Source Review. 

Once the NSR portion of the PM2.5

implementation rule is finalized by 

EPA, MDNR commits to transitioning 

from use of the interim PM2.5 guidance 

to the final PM2.5 implementation 

requirements after approval of the PM2.5

SIP revision (The submittal is due April 

5, 2008). 

It should be noted that most of 

Missouri is currently designated 

attainment/unclassifiable for both the 8- 

hour ozone and PM2.5 NAAQS. 

However, St. Louis City, St. Louis 

County, St. Charles County, Franklin 

County, and Jefferson County are 

designated as nonattainment for the 8- 

hour ozone and annual fine particulate 

matter NAAQS. 

At this time, it is not possible for 

MDNR to accurately determine whether 

there is interference with measures in 

another state’s SIP designed to protect 

visibility, which is the fourth element 

that was addressed. Technical projects 

relating to visibility degradation sourcereceptor relationships are under 

development. Missouri will be in a more 

advantageous position to address the 

visibility projection requirements once 

the initial regional haze SIP has been 

developed. MDNR intends to meet the 

December 17, 2007, submittal deadline 

for the regional haze SIP. 

A public hearing with regard to this 

action was held by the state, and only 

EPA provided comments on this SIP 

revision. 

With this action, the non-regulatory 

text in 40 CFR 52.1320(e) is revised to 

reflect that MDNR addressed the 

elements of the CAA section 

110(a)(2)(D)(i). 

What action is EPA taking? 

The EPA is taking direct final action 

to approve this revision as MDNR has 

adequately addressed the required 

elements of CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i). 

EPA intends to act on the portion of 

Missouri’s submittal addressing all 

other elements of section 110(a)(2), 

which addresses the infrastructure 

necessary to implement the 8-hour 

ozone and PM2.5 NAAQS in the state of 

Missouri, in a future rulemaking. 

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. 

Statutory and Executive Order Reviews 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

therefore is not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. For 

this reason, this action is also not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action merely approves 

state law as meeting Federal 

requirements and imposes no additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this action 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this 

action approves pre-existing 

requirements under state law and does 

not impose any additional enforceable 

duty beyond that required by state law, 

it 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). 

This action also does not have tribal 

implications because it will not have a 

substantial direct effect on one or more 

Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

as specified by Executive Order 13175 

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state rule implementing a 

Federal standard, and does not alter the 

relationship or the distribution of power 

and responsibilities established in the 

CAA. This action also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045, ‘‘Protection of 

Children from Environmental Health 

Risks and Safety Risks’’ (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it approves a 

state rule implementing a Federal 

standard. 

In reviewing state submissions, EPA’s 

role is to approve state choices, 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the CAA. In this context, in the absence 

of a prior existing requirement for the 

state to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a state submission for 

failure to use VCS. It would thus be 

inconsistent with applicable law for 

EPA, when it reviews a state 

submission, to use VCS in place of a 

state submission that otherwise satisfies 

the provisions of the CAA. 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 action does 

not impose an information collection 

burden under the provisions of the 

Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 (44 

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

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 rule 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 July 9, 2007. Filing a petition 

for reconsideration by the Administrator 

of this final rule does not affect the 

finality of this rule 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).)
