[EPA-R07-OAR-2019-0102; FRL-9991-36-Region 7]


Air Plan Approval; Missouri; Measurement of Emissions of Air 
Contaminants

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing 
approval of revisions to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
received by EPA on December 11, 2018. The submission revises Missouri's 
regulation relating to measurement of emissions of air contaminants 
which allows the director to obtain air contaminant emission data upon 
request. These revisions are administrative in nature and do not impact 
the stringency of the SIP. Specifically, these revisions reformat the 
regulations and add definitions. Approval of these revisions will not 
impact air quality, ensures consistency between the State and 
Federally-approved rules, and ensures Federal enforceability of the 
State's rules.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 13, 2019.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2019-0102 to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online 
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://www.regulations.gov/, including any personal 
information provided. For detailed instructions on sending comments and 
additional information on the rulemaking process, see the ``Written 
Comments'' heading of the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section of this

II. What is being addressed in this document?

    The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Missouri State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) that were received by EPA on December 11, 
2018. The SIP revision revises Missouri's regulation, Title 10 Code of 
State Regulations (10 CSR) 10-6.180, ``Measurement of Emissions of Air 
Contaminates'', which allows the director to obtain air contaminant 
emission data from any source responsible for the emissions of air 
contaminants. The revisions are administrative in nature. They 
restructure the rule to meet Missouri's updated standard rule 
organizational format and add definitions specific to the regulatory 
text of 10 CSR 10-6.180 including air contaminant, director, facility, 
qualified personnel and source. EPA's analysis of the SIP revision can 
be found in the Technical Support Document included in this docket.

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 May 1, 2018, to 
June 7, 2018, and received no comment. In addition, as explained above 
and in more detail in the technical support document 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 EPA taking?

    The EPA is proposing to amend the Missouri SIP by approving the 
State's request to amend 10 CSR 10-6.180, ``Measurement of Emissions of 
Air Contaminants.'' Approval of these revisions will ensure consistency 
between state and Federally-approved rules. The EPA has determined that 
these changes will not adversely impact air quality.
    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, 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, EPA is proposing to incorporate by 
reference the Missouri Regulations described in the proposed amendments 
to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. 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, 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);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under 
Executive Order 12866.
     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).
