Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Operating 
Permits Program; State of Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to Missouri's State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) and Operating Permits Program. EPA is 
proposing to approve the rescission of initial compliance dates in the 
Missouri SIP. These requirements were established more than thirty 
years ago and are obsolete. EPA is also proposing to approve revisions 
to the Operating Permits Program to change the reporting threshold for 
small sources and remove references to the requirement to annually set 
the emission fee. Approval of these revisions will ensure consistency 
between the State and the Federally-approved rules.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
February 23, 2011.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2010-0176, by mail to Chrissy Wolfersberger, 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: Chrissy Wolfersberger at (913) 551-
7864 or by e-mail at Wolfersberger.chris@epa.gov.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP and Operating Permits 
Program 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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.
