ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2013-0817; FRL-9908-01-Region 7]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of 
Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve revisions to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP) which 
were submitted to EPA on July 12, 2012. This submission revises two 
heavy duty diesel vehicle idling rules that are applicable in Kansas 
City and St. Louis. This revision provides clarity to the rules in the 
applicability section by listing owners and operators of passenger 
load/unload locations where commercial, public and institutional heavy-
duty vehicles load or unload passengers. The affected parties were 
unintentionally omitted from the applicability section of the rule even 
though they are required to comply with the rule in the general 
provisions section. These revisions do not have an adverse affect on 
air quality. EPA's approval of these SIP revisions is being done in 
accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

DATES: Comment by April 17, 2014.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2013-0817, by mail to Paula Higbee, Environmental Protection 
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Boulevard, 
Lenexa, Kansas 66219. Comments may also be submitted electronically or 
through hand delivery/courier by following the detailed instructions in 
the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule located in the rules 
section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Paula Higbee, Environmental Protection 
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Boulevard, 
Lenexa, Kansas 66219 at 913-551-7028, or by email at 
[email protected].

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this 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 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.
