Air Plan Approval; Missouri;
Restriction of Emissions From BatchType Charcoal Kilns
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Final rule.
AGENCY:
The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is approving a Missouri
State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision received on March 7, 2019. The
submission revises a Missouri
regulation that establishes emission
limits for batch-type charcoal kilns
based on operational parameters to
reduce emissions of particulate matter
(PM10), volatile organic compounds
(VOCs) and carbon monoxide (CO).
Specifically, the revisions to the rule
add definitions specific to the rule,
update references to test methods,
remove unnecessary words, remove an
obsolete requirement which applied
only during the phase-in period of the
rule that ended December 31, 2005,
clarify a provision for an alternative
operating temperature, and make other
minor edits. These revisions are
administrative in nature and do not
impact the stringency of the SIP or air
quality. Approval of these revisions will
ensure consistency between State and
federally-approved rules.
DATES: This final rule is effective on
March 6, 2020.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a
docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA–R07–OAR–2019–0662. All

II. What is being addressed in this document?
III. Have the requirements for approval of a
SIP revision been met?
IV. What action is the EPA taking?
V. Incorporation by Reference
VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background
On December 6, 2019, the EPA
proposed approval to revise the SIP
revisions to a State rule that restricts
emissions from batch-type charcoal
kilns in the Federal Register. See 84 FR
66853. The EPA solicited comments on
the proposed SIP revision and received
no comments.
II. What is being addressed in this
document?
The EPA is approving a request to
revise the Missouri SIP received on
March 7, 2019. Missouri requested that
the EPA approve revisions it made to a
State rule found at title 10, division 10
of the code of state regulations—10 CSR
10–6.330 ‘‘Restriction of Emissions from
Batch-Type Charcoal Kilns’’. A detailed
discussion of the submission, and the
EPA’s review of it, was provided in the
EPA’s December 6, 2019, notice of
proposed rulemaking document
published in the Federal Register. See
84 FR 66853. The EPA received no
comments during the public comment
period.
III. Have the requirements for approval
of a SIP revision been met?
The State submission met the public
notice requirements for SIP submissions
in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The
submission satisfied the completeness
criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V.
The State provided public notice of the
revisions from August 1, 2018, to
October 4, 2018, and held a public
hearing on September 27, 2018. The
State received and addressed four
comments. As explained in more detail
in the technical support document
(TSD) which is part of this docket, the
SIP revision submission meets the
PO 00000
Frm 00012
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
substantive requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA), including section 110
and implementing regulations.
IV. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is ammending the Missouri
SIP by approving the State’s request to
revise 10 CSR 10–6.330,’’Restriction of
Emissions From Batch-Type Charcoal
Kilns.’’ 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.
V. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, the EPA is
approving regulatory text in an EPA
final rule that includes incorporation by
reference. In accordance with the
requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is
incorporating 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
person identified in the ‘‘For Further
Information Contact’’ section of this
preamble for more information).
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,
if 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
E:\FR\FM\05FER1.SGM
05FER1
6431
Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 24 / Wednesday, February 5, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
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).

regulations to streamline and clarify

processes related to submission and
review of title V petitions. This final
rule implements changes in three key
areas: Method of petition submittal to
the agency, required content and format
of petitions, and administrative record
requirements for permits. In the first
area, the EPA is establishing an
electronic submittal system as the
preferred method of submittal, with
specified email and physical addresses
as alternate routes to submit petitions.
By doing so, the agency anticipates (and
has already seen) improved tracking of
petitions. To help petitioners in
preparing their petitions, as well as the
EPA in reviewing and responding to
petitions, the EPA is finalizing its
proposal to incorporate certain content
and format requirements into the
regulations, codifying practices that the
EPA has described in prior orders
PO 00000
Frm 00013
Fmt 4700
Sfmt 4700
*
*
*
*
responding to petitions and the
preamble to the proposal for this rule.
Finally, the EPA is requiring permitting
authorities to prepare a written response
to comments (RTC) document if
significant comments are received
during the public participation process
on a draft permit, and requiring that the
RTC, when applicable, be sent to the
agency with the proposed permit and
necessary documents including the
statement of basis for its 45-day review.
This change is anticipated to provide
more complete permit records during
the EPA’s 45-day review period for
proposed permits, the 60-day petition
window, and the EPA’s review of any
petition submitted, and thus reduce the
likelihood that the Administrator will
grant a petition because of an
incomplete permit record.

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews
I. Background
On December 6, 2019, the EPA proposed approval to revise the SIP
revisions to a State rule that restricts emissions from batch-type
charcoal kilns in the Federal Register. See 84 FR 66853. The EPA
solicited comments on the proposed SIP revision and received no
comments.
II. What is being addressed in this document?
The EPA is approving a request to revise the Missouri SIP received
on March 7, 2019. Missouri requested that the EPA approve revisions it
made to a State rule found at title 10, division 10 of the code of
state regulations--10 CSR 10-6.330 ``Restriction of Emissions from
Batch-Type Charcoal Kilns''. A detailed discussion of the submission,
and the EPA's review of it, was provided in the EPA's December 6, 2019,
notice of proposed rulemaking document published in the Federal
Register. See 84 FR 66853. The EPA received no comments during the
public comment period.
III. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
The State submission met the public notice requirements for SIP
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The submission satisfied
the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. The State
provided public notice of the revisions from August 1, 2018, to October
4, 2018, and held a public hearing on September 27, 2018. The State
received and addressed four comments. As explained in more detail in
the technical support document (TSD) which is part of this docket, the
SIP revision submission meets the substantive requirements of the Clean
Air Act (CAA), including section 110 and implementing regulations.
IV. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is ammending the Missouri SIP by approving the State's
request to revise 10 CSR 10-6.330,''Restriction of Emissions From
Batch-Type Charcoal Kilns.'' 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.
V. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, the EPA is approving regulatory text in an EPA
final rule that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance with
the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is incorporating 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 person identified in
the ``For Further Information Contact'' section of this preamble for
more information).
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,
if 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
[[Page 6431]]
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).
