ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MO 164-1164; FRL-7412-3]


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. This revision pertains to 
changes to the solvent metal cleaning rule applicable to the St. Louis, 
Missouri, area. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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. Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on part of 
this rule and if that part can be severed from the remainder of the 
rule, EPA may adopt as final those parts of the rule that are not the 
subject of an adverse comment.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
December 23, 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: November 8, 2002.
