ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MO 152-1152; FRL-7163-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of 
Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision submitted by the state of Missouri which provides for the 
attainment and maintenance of the sulfur dioxide (SO2) 
National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) in Springfield (Greene 
County), Missouri. This revision approves a Consent Agreement which 
requires SO2 emission reductions from a major air emissions 
source in Springfield. Approval of this SIP revision will make the 
Consent Agreement Federally enforceable. In the final rules section of 
the Federal Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no relevant 
adverse comments to this action. A detailed rationale for the approval 
is set forth in the direct final rule. If no relevant adverse comments 
are received in response to this action, no further activity is 
contemplated in relation to this action. If EPA receives relevant 
adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 action. EPA will not institute a second comment 
period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this 
action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
April 24, 2002.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be mailed to Wayne Kaiser, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Kaiser at (913) 551-7603.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: See the information provided in the direct 
final rule which is located in the rules section of the Federal 
Register.

    Dated: March 14, 2002.
