ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MO 155-1155; FRL-7175-2]


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 for the purpose of 
controlling volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions from stationary 
and area sources in Clay, Platte, and Jackson Counties in the Kansas 
City, Missouri, area. This action also proposes to provide full 
approval of the revised maintenance plan and rescinds the prior 
conditional approval of the revised maintenance plan. In the final 
rules section of the Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP 
revision and providing full approval of the revised maintenance plan 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. Please note that if EPA receives 
adverse comment on an amendment, paragraph, or section of this rule and 
if that provision is severed from the remainder of the rule, EPA may 
adopt as final those provisions of the rule that are not the subject of 
an adverse comment.

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

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

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Leland Daniels at (913) 551-7651.

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

    Dated: April 11, 2002.
