40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[MO 043-1043(b); FRL-6219-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Designation of 
Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; State of Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The EPA proposes to approve a redesignation request submitted 
by the state of Missouri on June 13, 1997. Additional material was 
submitted on June 15, 1998. In this submittal, Missouri submitted a 
maintenance plan and a request that a portion of St. Louis be 
redesignated to attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards (NAAQS) for carbon monoxide. In the final rules section of 
the Federal Register, the EPA is approving the state's State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) revision and request for redesignation as a 
direct final rule without a prior proposal, because the Agency views 
this as a noncontroversial revision and redesignation and anticipates 
no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth 
in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in 
response to this action, no further activity is contemplated in 
relation to this rule. If the EPA receives adverse comments, the direct 
final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The 
EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any 
parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this 
time.
