II. What is being addressed in this
document?
The EPA is proposing to approve
revisions to 10 Code of State Regulation
(CSR) 10–6.045, Open Burning, in the
Missouri SIP. Missouri made several
revisions to the rule. These revisions are
described in detail in the technical
support document (TSD) included in
the docket for this action.
Missouri received seventeen
comments from five sources during the
comment period. EPA provided five
comments on the rule. Missouri
responded to all seventeen comments,
as noted in the state submission
included in the docket for this action.
Missouri responded to EPA’s comments
and, as described in the TSD for this
action, amended the rule, in response to
some of EPA’s comments.
Therefore, 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
August 1, 2018 to September 30, 2018
and received seventeen comments. As
stated above, MDNR responded to all
comments. In addition, as explained
above, 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 approve
Missouri’s request to revise 10 CSR 10–
6.045. 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
Regulations 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

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);
• 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).
