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
including the Kansas City 8-hour ozone maintenance plan into the SIP.
Section 110(a)(1) of the Clean Air Act requires that areas which were
maintenance areas for the 1-hour ozone standard and attainment for the
8-hour ozone standard develop a plan showing how the state will
maintain the ozone standard for the area. The maintenance plan includes
an emissions inventory demonstration, a plan for how the states will
track progress on reducing emissions, a commitment to continue ozone
monitoring, and a contingency plan that will ensure that a violation of
the 8-hour ozone standard is promptly addressed.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
September 10, 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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all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: July 27, 2007.
