Air Plan Approval; Missouri; Control of 

Emissions From Batch Process 

Operations 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing approval of 

a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by Missouri on 

January 19, 2021. Missouri requests that 

the EPA approve into Missouri’s SIP 

revisions to its rule related to control of 

emissions from batch process 

operations. These revisions update 

references to the appropriate state rule 

for New Source Performance 

Regulations. These revisions are 

administrative in nature and do not 

reduce the stringency of the SIP or have 

an adverse impact to air quality. The 

EPA’s proposed approval of this rule 

revision is being done in accordance 

with the requirements of the Clean Air 

Act (CAA). 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 8, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, 

identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07–

instructions for submitting comments. 

Instructions: All submissions received 

must include the Docket ID No. for this 

rulemaking. Comments received will be 

posted without change to https://

II. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

The EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Missouri SIP received 

on January 19, 2021. The revisions are 

to Title 10, Division 10 of the Code of 

State Regulations (CSR), 10 CSR 10– 

5.540 ‘‘Control of Emissions From Batch 

Process Operations’’ which limits the 

volatile organic compound (VOC) 

emissions from batch process operations 

by incorporating reasonably available 

control technology (RACT) requirements 

in the St. Louis 1997 ozone 

nonattainment area as required by the 

Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of 

1990. These revisions remove references 

to state rule 10 CSR 10–6.030, 

‘‘Sampling Methods for Air Pollution 

Sources,’’ and replaces them with 

references to 10 CSR 10–6.070, ‘‘New 

Source Performance Regulations,’’ 

where the new source performance 

standards in 40 CFR part 60 are 

appropriately incorporated by reference. 

These revisions are described in detail 

in the technical support document 

(TSD) included in the docket for this 

action. 

Missouri received no comments 

during the state public comment period 

on the proposed rule revisions. The EPA 

is proposing to approve the revisions to 

this rule because it will not have a 

negative impact on air quality. 

III. Have the requirements for approval 

of a SIP revision been met? 

The State submission has met the 

public notice requirements for SIP 

submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 

51.102. The submission also satisfied 

the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 

51, appendix V. The State provided 

public notice on this SIP revision from 

December 16, 2019 to February 6, 2020 

and received no comments on this 

rulemaking. As explained above and in 

the TSD included in the docket, the 

revision meets the substantive SIP 

requirements of the CAA, including 

section 110 and implementing 

regulations. 

IV. What action is the EPA proposing to 

take? 

The EPA is proposing to approve 

Missouri’s request to revise 10 CSR 10– 

5.540. The EPA is soliciting comment 

on the substantive and administrative 

revisions detailed in this proposal and 

the TSD. The EPA is not soliciting 

comment on existing rule text that has 

been previously approved by the EPA 

into the SIP. Final rulemaking will 

occur after consideration of any 

comments. 

V. Incorporation by Reference 

In this document, the EPA is 

proposing to include regulatory text in 

an EPA final rule that includes 

incorporation by reference. In 

accordance with requirements of 1 CFR 

51.5, the EPA is proposing to 

incorporate by reference the Missouri 

Regulation described in the proposed 

amendments to 40 CFR part 52 set forth 

below. The EPA has made, and will 

continue to make, these materials 

generally available through 

www.regulations.gov and at the EPA 

Region 7 Office (please contact the 

person identified in the FOR FURTHER

INFORMATION CONTACT section of this 

preamble for more information). 

VI. 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, the 

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 the 

National Technology Transfer and 

Advancement Act (NTTA) because this 

rulemaking does not involve technical 

standards; 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).

Air Plan Approval; Nevada; Revisions 

to Clark County Ozone Maintenance 

Plan 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a 

revision to the State of Nevada’s state 

implementation plan (SIP) for Clark 

County. The revision consists of an 

update to certain elements of the 

maintenance plan for the Clark County 

air quality planning area for the 1997 8- 

hour ozone national ambient air quality 

standards (NAAQS or ‘‘standards’’), 

including certain emissions inventories 

and motor vehicle emissions budgets. 

The EPA is proposing to approve the 

SIP revision because the Clark County 

ozone maintenance plan, as revised, 

continues to provide for maintenance of 

the 1997 ozone NAAQS and will not 

interfere with attainment or reasonable 

further progress of the other NAAQS, 

and the motor vehicle emissions 

budgets meet the applicable 

transportation conformity requirements. 

DATES: Comments must be received on 

or before September 8, 2021.

I. What action is the EPA proposing? 

Under section 110(k) of the Clean Air 

Act (‘‘Act’’ or CAA), the EPA is required 

to take action by approving, 

disapproving, or conditionally 

approving, in whole or in part, SIPs and 

SIP revisions submitted by the states. In 

today’s action, the EPA is proposing to 

approve a SIP revision titled ‘‘Revision 

to Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for 

the 1997 Ozone NAAQS, Clark County, 

Nevada’’ (August 2020) (herein, referred 

to as the ‘‘2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan 

Revision’’), submitted by the Nevada 

Division of Environmental Protection 

(NDEP) on September 30, 2020.1 The 

2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision 

updates certain elements of the 

maintenance plan for Clark County for 

the 1997 ozone NAAQS, including 

certain emissions inventories and the 

motor vehicle emissions budgets 

(‘‘budgets’’ or MVEBs). The 2020 Ozone 

Maintenance Plan Revision was 

prepared in response to the EPA’s 

conditional approval of the ‘‘Revision to 

Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets in 

Ozone Redesignation Request and 

Maintenance Plan: Clark County,
