definitions specific to the rule, and
wording changes that are administrative

II. What is being addressed in this
document?
The EPA is proposing to approve the
revisions to 10 Code of State
Regulations (CSR) 10–5.570, Control of
Sulfur Emissions from Stationary
Boilers in the Missouri SIP. The
revisions include wording changes that
are administrative in nature, add
definitions to the rule rather than
referring to definitions in a separate
rule, and updates and consolidates
incorporation by reference to federal
regulations. These revisions are
described in detail in the technical
support document (TSD) included in
the docket for this action.
Missouri received sixteen comments
from the EPA during the state public
comment period. Missouri responded to
all comments as noted in the state
submission included in the docket for
this action, and made revisions to the
rule concerning incorporation by
reference of Federal regulations or other
testing methods, removal of definitions
that were inconsistent with Federal
definitions, and several non-substantive
changes to the text of the regulation.
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
June 25, 2018, to July 26, 2018. In
addition, 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 amend 10 CSR 10–
5.570. We are processing this as a
proposed action because we are
soliciting comments on the substantive
and administrative revisions detailed in
this proposal and the TSD. The EPA is
not soliciting comment on existing rule
text that has been previously approved
by EPA into the SIP. 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

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:

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

country, the rule does not have tribal
implications and will not impose
