July 11, 2019. In the proposal, EPA
proposed removal of a rule related to the
control of emissions from polyethylene
bag sealing operations in the St. Louis,
Missouri area from its SIP. This removal

Federal Register / Vol. 85, No. 202 / Monday, October 19, 2020 / Rules and Regulations
5.360, Control of Emissions from
Polyethylene Bag Sealing Operations,
from the Missouri SIP.
As explained in detail in EPA’s
proposed rule, Missouri has
demonstrated that removal of 10 CSR
10–5.360 will not interfere with
attainment of the NAAQS, reasonable
further progress 1 or any other
applicable requirement of the CAA
because the only two sources subject to
the rule are no longer subject and the
removal of the rule will not cause VOC
emissions to increase. (85 FR 45568,
July 29, 2020). The EPA solicited but
did not receive any comments on this
proposed rule. Therefore, the EPA is
finalizing its proposal to remove 10 CSR
10–5.360 from the SIP.
II. 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 15, 2018, to August 2, 2018, and
received eleven comments from the EPA
that related to Missouri’s lack of an
adequate demonstration that the rule
could be removed from the SIP in
accordance with section 110(l) of the
CAA, whether the rule applied to new
sources and other implications related
to rescinding the rule. Missouri’s July
11, 2019 letter and December 3, 2018
response to comments on the state
rescission rulemaking addressed the
EPA’s comments. In addition, the
revision meets the substantive SIP
requirements of the CAA, including
section 110 and implementing
regulations.
III. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is taking final action to
approve Missouri’s request to remove 10
CSR 10–5.360 from the SIP.

Missouri Regulation from the Missouri
State Implementation Plan, which is
incorporated by reference in accordance
with the requirements of 1 CFR part 51.
V. 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,
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).
The Congressional Review Act, 5
U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small
Business Regulatory Enforcement
Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides
that before a rule may take effect, the
agency promulgating the rule must
submit a rule report, which includes a
copy of the rule, to each House of the
Congress and to the Comptroller General
of the United States. EPA will submit a
report containing this action and other
required information to the U.S. Senate,
the U.S. House of Representatives, and
the Comptroller General of the United
States prior to publication of the rule in
the Federal Register. A major rule
cannot take effect until 60 days after it
is published in the Federal Register.
This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as
defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA,
petitions for judicial review of this
action must be filed in the United States
Court of Appeals for the appropriate
circuit by March 24, 2020. Filing a
petition for reconsideration by the
Administrator of this final rule does not
affect the finality of this action for the
purposes of judicial review nor does it
extend the time within which a petition
for judicial review may be filed and
shall not postpone the effectiveness of
such rule or action. This action may not
be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section
307(b)(2)).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Background
The EPA’s Scientific Integrity Policy
is based on a Presidential Memorandum
for the Heads of Executive Departments
and Agencies, Subject Line: Scientific
Integrity, Dated: March 9, 2009. The
memorandum directs the Director of the
Office of Science and Technology Policy
(OSTP) to work with the Office of
Management and Budget (OMB) and
agencies to develop policies to ensure
all scientific work developed and used
by the Government is done so with
scientific integrity. OSTP issued further
guidance in the Scientific Integrity
memorandum dated December 17, 2010.
This final rule requires EPA
contractors to ensure that all personnel
within their organization,
subcontractors and consultants, that
perform, communicate, or supervise
scientific activities or use scientific
information to perform advisory and
assistance services under their specified
contracts with EPA, have read and
understand their compliance
responsibilities regarding the EPA’s
Scientific Integrity Policy.
The proposed rule was published in
the Federal Register (83 FR 48581–
48584) on September 26, 2018,
providing for a 60-day comment period.
Interested parties were afforded the
opportunity to participate in the making
of this rule.
II. Public Comments on the Proposed
Rule
The following is a summary of the
public comments received on the
proposed rule and the EPA’s response to
these comments.
1. Comment: Several commenters
expressed concerns about the costs of
making scientific information available
online and also that requiring scientific
information to be available online could
compromise confidentiality of the
scientific information.
Response: The proposed clause
requirement at EPAAR § 1552.203–
72(c)(1)(x) to make scientific
information available online has been
deleted.
2. Comment: One commenter
suggested that the EPA inform
contractors of their need to evaluate
computer models in adherence to the
EPA Models Guidance.
Response: This requirement is
described in general terms because
listing specific guidance may not be allinclusive or the guidance may change in
the future.

3. Comment: One commenter noted
that preventing intimidation or coercion
of scientists to alter their scientific
findings is a crucial element of the
EPA’s Scientific Integrity Policy and
proposed adding the terms ‘‘attempted
or actual intimidation or coercion’’ to
the clause to clarify that both attempted
or actual intimidation or coercion
would be a loss of scientific integrity.
Response: The EPA agrees and has
added the terms ‘‘attempted or actual’’,
defining intimidation or coercion to
EPAAR 1552.203–72(c)(2)(i).
4. Comment: One commenter
expressed concern that the proposed
rule does not explicitly address whether
an individual employee of a contractor
has an obligation to report loss or
potential loss of scientific integrity to
the contracting officer, his or her
supervisor, or both, or to whom and
how to report.
Response: In this final rule, the EPA
does clarify in paragraph (d) of the
clause that an employee of the
contractor must report any loss or
potential loss of scientific integrity in
writing to the contractor who must
communicate it to the EPA.
5. Comment: Concern was expressed
that there is no explicit mechanism for
resolving a dispute if the contractor, or
an individual contractor employee, feels
that the contracting officer has reached
an incorrect conclusion or is applying
an inappropriate remedy with regard to
a loss of scientific integrity.
Response: The EPA agrees that a party
who has been accused of a loss of
scientific integrity should be able to
respond to the Agency’s decision
regarding the loss of scientific integrity
and the remedy. Section (e)(5) of the
clause has been edited to state that if the
party who has been accused of a loss of
scientific integrity feels that the Agency
has reached an incorrect conclusion or
the Agency has applied an
inappropriate remedy, that party may
provide a written response to the
Contracting Officer, Scientific Integrity
Official, and/or Office of Inspector
General (OIG).
6. Comment: One commenter noted
that it was not clear if the proposed rule
intended to cover a situation where a
contractor, or employee of a contractor,
became aware of a loss or suspected loss
of scientific integrity by an EPA
employee, but suggested the rule should
cover this situation. Further, the
commenter suggested such a loss or
suspected loss of scientific integrity by
an EPA employee be reported to
someone other than the contracting
officer or the contracting officer’s
representative.

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final
action to approve a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP)
submitted by the State of Missouri on January 15, 2019, and
supplemented by letter on July 11, 2019. In the proposal, EPA proposed
removal of a rule related to the control of emissions from polyethylene
bag sealing operations in the St. Louis, Missouri area from its SIP.
This removal does not have an adverse effect on air quality. The EPA's
approval of this rule revision is in accordance with the requirements
of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
DATES: This final rule is effective on November 18, 2020.
ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under

The EPA is approving the removal of 10 Code of State Regulation
(CSR) 10-
[[Page 66265]]
5.360, Control of Emissions from Polyethylene Bag Sealing Operations,
from the Missouri SIP.
As explained in detail in EPA's proposed rule, Missouri has
demonstrated that removal of 10 CSR 10-5.360 will not interfere with
attainment of the NAAQS, reasonable further progress \1\ or any other
applicable requirement of the CAA because the only two sources subject
to the rule are no longer subject and the removal of the rule will not
cause VOC emissions to increase. (85 FR 45568, July 29, 2020). The EPA
solicited but did not receive any comments on this proposed rule.
Therefore, the EPA is finalizing its proposal to remove 10 CSR 10-5.360
from the SIP.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ RFP is not applicable to the St. Louis Area because for
marginal ozone nonattainment areas, such as the St. Louis Area, the
specific requirements of section 182(a) apply in lieu of the
attainment planning requirements that would otherwise apply under
section 172(c), including the attainment demonstration and
reasonably available control measures (RACM) under section

172(c)(2), and contingency measures under section 172(c)(9).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
II. 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 15, 2018, to
August 2, 2018, and received eleven comments from the EPA that related
to Missouri's lack of an adequate demonstration that the rule could be
removed from the SIP in accordance with section 110(l) of the CAA,
whether the rule applied to new sources and other implications related
to rescinding the rule. Missouri's July 11, 2019 letter and December 3,
2018 response to comments on the state rescission rulemaking addressed
the EPA's comments. In addition, the revision meets the substantive SIP
requirements of the CAA, including section 110 and implementing
regulations.
III. What action is the EPA taking?
The EPA is taking final action to approve Missouri's request to
remove 10 CSR 10-5.360 from the SIP.
IV. Incorporation by Reference
In this document, the EPA is amending regulatory text that includes
incorporation by reference. As described in the amendments to 40 CFR
part 52 set forth below, the EPA is removing provisions of the EPA-
Approved Missouri Regulation from the Missouri State Implementation
Plan, which is incorporated by reference in accordance with the
requirements of 1 CFR part 51.
V. 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, 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).
The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by March 24, 2020. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2)).
