EPAAR Prescription and Clause-Simplified Acquisition Procedures Financing
EPA is revising the EPA Acquisition Regulation (EPAAR) Subparts 1532 and 1552 to implement a procedure for simplified acquisition procedures financing. This EPAAR revision adds a prescription and clause for contracting officers to use when approving advance or interim payments on simplified acquisitions. The prescription and clause apply to commercial item orders at or below the simplified acquisition threshold. This action revises the EPAAR, but does not impose any new requirements on Agency contractors. The procedure allows contractors to invoice for advance and interim payments in accordance with standard commercial practices when authorized by the contracting officer and identified in the clause payment schedule.

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of Missouri
On November 3, 2005, Missouri submitted a plan to control emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX) for the eastern one-third of the state. The plan consists of three rules, a budget demonstration, and supporting documentation. The plan will contribute to attainment and maintenance of the 8-hour ozone standard in several downwind areas. Missouri's plan, which focuses on large electric generating units, large industrial boilers, large stationary internal combustion engines, and large cement kilns, was developed to meet the requirements of EPA's April 21, 2004, Phase II NOX State Implementation Plan (SIP) Call. EPA is proposing to approve the plan as a SIP revision fulfilling the NOX SIP Call requirements. The initial period for compliance under the plan will begin in 2007, and the emission monitoring and reporting requirements for sources holding allowances under the plan began on May 1, 2006.

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Minnesota; Alternative Public Participation Process
The EPA is approving a revision to the Minnesota State Implementation Plan (SIP) that will establish, pursuant to regulations on public hearings, an alternative public participation process for certain SIP revisions. EPA is approving the Minnesota SIP revision because we believe that the procedures set forth in Minnesota's request afford the public adequate opportunity to comment on these noncontroversial SIP revisions. In its SIP revision, Minnesota has identified a limited number of types of SIP revisions that have been found to be noncontroversial and in which the public has historically shown little or no interest. For this limited number of SIP revisions, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) will offer the opportunity for a public hearing, but will not hold a hearing if one is not requested. The EPA agrees that the SIP types that have been identified by the MPCA have historically been noncontroversial and that offering the public the opportunity to request a public hearing rather than holding one automatically does not limit or curtail the public participation process. Also, EPA is acknowledging that a public hearing held at the time of the MPCA rulemaking, which meets the criteria for a SIP public hearing, precludes the need for a separate public hearing solely for SIP purposes. EPA proposed to approve these revisions to the Minnesota SIP on February 1, 2006 and no adverse comments were received on this proposal. We are also taking this opportunity to correct a typographical error made in that proposed approval.
