ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Missouri State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) received on

permit exemptions. These revisions 

include updates to incorporations by 

reference, remove unnecessary words, 

and make minor clarifications and 

grammatical changes. These revisions 

do not impact the stringency of the SIP 

or have an adverse effect on 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).

Docket ID No. EPA–R07–OAR–2022– 

0422, at https://www.regulations.gov. 

Once submitted, comments cannot be

The EPA may publish any comment 

received to its public docket. Do not 

submit electronically any information 

you consider to be Confidential 

Business Information (CBI) or other 

information whose disclosure is

II. What is being addressed in this 

document? 

The EPA is proposing to approve 

revisions to the Missouri SIP received 

on June 10, 2021. The revisions are to 

Title 10, Division 10 of the Code of State 

Regulations (CSR), 10 CSR 10–6.061 

‘‘Construction Permit Exemptions’’. The 

purpose of the state regulation is to list 

specific construction or modification 

projects that are exempt from the 

requirement to obtain permits to 

construct under 10 CSR 10–6.060. 

Missouri made several revisions to the 

rule. These proposed revisions to the 

rule update incorporations by 

references, remove unnecessary words, 

and make minor clarifications and 

grammatical changes. EPA proposes to 

find that these revisions meet the 

requirements of the Clean Air Act, do 

not impact the stringency of the SIP, 

and do not adversely impact air quality. 

The full text of the rule revisions as well 

as EPA’s analysis of the revisions are 

contained in the technical support 

document (TSD) included in the docket 

for this action. 

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 

January 2, 2020, to April 2, 2020, and 

held a public hearing on March 26, 

2020. Missouri received six comments 

from three sources during the comment 

period on 10 CSR 10–6.061. The EPA 

provided four comments. Missouri 

responded to all comments and revised 

the rule based on public comment prior 

to submitting to EPA, as noted in the 

State submission included in the docket 

for this action. 

In addition, as explained above and in 

more detail in the technical support 

document (TSD) which is part of this 

docket, the revision meets the 

substantive SIP requirements of the 

CAA, including section 110 and 

implementing regulations. 

IV. What action is the EPA taking? 

The EPA is proposing to amend the 

Missouri SIP by approving the State’s 

request to revise 10 CSR 10–6.061 

‘‘Construction Permit Exemptions.’’ We 

are processing this as a proposed action 

because we are soliciting comments on 

this proposed action. 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 

rule 10 CSR 10–6.061 as described in 

Section II of this preamble and set forth 

below in the proposed amendments to 

40 CFR part 52. 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 Clean Air Act (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

Federal Register / Vol. 87, No. 102 / Thursday, May 26, 2022 / Proposed Rules 31967 

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).
