Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans; State of 

Missouri 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the state of 

Missouri to add two new rules which 

implement restrictions on the idling of 

heavy duty diesel vehicles in the Kansas 

City Metropolitan Area and in the St. 

Louis Ozone Nonattainment Area. EPA 

is proposing this revision because the 

standards and requirements set by the 

rules will strengthen the Missouri SIP. 

EPA’s approval of this SIP revision is 

being done in accordance with the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act 

(CAA). 

DATES: Comments on this proposed 

action must be received in writing by 

March 31, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– 

OAR–2010–0168, by mail to Amy 

Bhesania, 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. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Amy Bhesania at (913) 551–7147, or by 

e-mail at bhesania.amy@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of the Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the state’s 

SIP 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Background 

On December 23, 2010, PHMSA 

published an advance notice of 

proposed rulemaking (ANPRM; 75 FR 

80765) seeking public comment on the 

possible incorporation of the most 

recent edition of the ASME’s Boiler and 

Pressure Vessel Code, Section XII for the 

design, construction, and certification of 

cargo tank motor vehicles, cryogenic 

portable tanks and multi-unit-tank car 

tanks (ton tanks) and the National Board 

of Boiler and Pressure Vessel Inspectors’ 

(National Board) National Board 

Inspection Code as it applies to the 

continuing qualification and 

maintenance of ASME stamped cargo 

tank motor vehicles, portable tanks, and 

multi-unit-tank car tanks (ton tanks) 

constructed to standards in ASME 

Section VIII or ASME Section XII. 

PHMSA received comments regarding 

the availability of the consensus 

standards referenced in the ANPRM and 

requesting a comment period extension. 

II. Availability of Consensus Standards 

Several commenters (National Tank 

Truck Carriers (NTTC), C & R Fleet 

Services, and WRD, Inc.) requested that 

PHMSA make the consensus standards 

referenced in the ANPRM available to 

the public electronically. The 

commenters cited costs to purchase and 

review the copyrighted documents as 

barriers to informed public comment on 

issues presented in the ANPRM. 

PHMSA agrees. PHMSA understands 

the costs of purchasing copyrighted 

consensus standards can create an 

unnecessary burden on interested 

parties and potentially limit public 

participation in the rulemaking process. 

This was not PHMSA’s intent. 

In response to commenter requests, 

PHMSA has obtained permission from 

ASME to post an electronic version of 

the 2010 edition of the ASME Boiler and 

Pressure Vessel Code, Section XII 

(ASME Section XII) on PHMSA’s 

website. The electronic version of 

ASME Section XII will be available for 

the duration of the comment period 

(through May 23, 2011) at the following 

URL: http://phmsa.dot.gov/hazmat. 

Further, in response to commenter 

requests, the National Board has 

voluntarily posted copies of the relevant 


jlentini on DSKJ8SOYB1PROD with PROPOSALS
