II. What is being addressed in this document?
The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Missouri SIP
received on January 19, 2021. The revisions are to Title 10, Division
10 of the Code of State Regulations (CSR), 10 CSR 10-6.330
``Restriction of Emissions From Batch-Type Charcoal Kilns'' which
establishes emission limits for batch-type charcoal kilns based on
operational parameters that reflect the Best Available Control
Technology (BACT) for this industry as of August 20, 1997. These
revisions correct an erroneous reference to 10 CSR 10-6.030(21),
update, correct and clarify references to test methods, remove
unnecessary words, and make other grammatical and typographical
corrections. These revisions are described in detail in the technical
support document (TSD) included in the docket for this action.
Missouri received no comments during the state public comment
period. The 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 September 16,
2019 to December 10, 2019 and received no comments on this rulemaking.
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 proposing to take?
The EPA is proposing to approve Missouri's request to revise 10 CSR
10-6.330. The EPA is soliciting comment 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 the 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 Regulation 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 <a href="http://www.regulations.gov">www.regulations.gov</a> 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
[[Page 43618]]
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:
<bullet> 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);
<bullet> Does not impose an information collection burden under the
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
<bullet> 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.);
<bullet> 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);
<bullet> Does not have Federalism implications as specified in
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
<bullet> Is not an economically significant regulatory action based
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR
19885, April 23, 1997);
<bullet> Is not a significant regulatory action subject to
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
<bullet> Is not subject to requirements of the National Technology
Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTA) because this rulemaking does not
involve technical standards; and
<bullet> 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).
