ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2006-0883; FRL-8251-1]


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 for the inclusion of 
revisions to the Construction Permit Exemptions rule. The Construction 
Permit Exemptions rule lists specific construction or modification 
projects that are not required to obtain permits to construct under the 
Construction Permits Required rule. Revisions to this rule include 
updating the insignificance levels used for construction permit 
exemptions, adding a new exemption for manufacturing operations, which 
produce insignificant emissions, clarifying the grain handling 
facilities exemption, and restructuring of the record keeping portion 
of the rule. Missouri developed the revisions to this rule under two 
separate state rulemaking processes.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by 
January 3, 2007.

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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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 
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.

    Dated: November 17, 2006.
