ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve a revision to the Missouri State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) which establishes a state-wide air emissions 
banking and trading program. Approval of this revision will ensure 
consistency between the state and Federally-approved rules, and ensure 
Federal enforceability of the revised state rule.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
September 10, 2003.

ADDRESSES: Comments may be submitted either by mail or electronically. 
Written comments should be mailed to Wayne Kaiser, Environmental 
Protection Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th 
Street, Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Electronic comments should be sent 
either to [email protected]. or to http://www.regulations.gov, which 
is an alternative method for submitting electronic comments to EPA. To 
submit comments, please follow the detailed instructions described in 
``What action is EPA taking?'' in the SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION section 
of the direct final rule which is located in the rules section of the 
Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Wayne Kaiser at (913) 551-7603, or by 
e-mail at [email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 any 
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. For additional 
information, see the direct final rule which is located in the rules 
section of this Federal Register.
