ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP) submitted on May 18, 2007. This revision addresses the requirements of EPA’s Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR), promulgated on May 12, 2005, and subsequently revised on April 28, 2006, and December 13, 2006. EPA is proposing to determine that the SIP revision fully meets the CAIR requirements for Missouri. If EPA approves the revisions, we will also withdraw the CAIR Federal Implementation Plans (CAIR FIPs) concerning SO2, NOX annual, NOX ozone season emissions for Missouri. The CAIR FIPs for all States in the CAIR region were promulgated on April 28, 2006, and subsequently revised on December 13, 2006. CAIR requires States to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) that significantly contribute to, and interfere with maintenance of, the national ambient air quality standards for fine particulates and/or ozone in any downwind state. CAIR establishes State budgets for SO2 and NOX and requires States to submit SIP revisions that implement these budgets in States that EPA concluded did contribute to nonattainment in downwind states. States have the flexibility to choose which control measures to adopt to achieve the budgets, including participating in the EPA-administered cap-and-trade programs. In the SIP revision that EPA is proposing to approve, Missouri would meet CAIR requirements by participating in the EPA-administered cap-and-trade programs addressing SO2, NOX annual, and NOX ozone season emissions. Comments must be received on or before October 17, 2007. ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA–R07– DATES: Frm 00001 Fmt 4702 Sfmt 4702 E:\FR\FM\17SEP1.SGM 17SEP1
