ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52 and 70

Approval of Missouri's Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Reporting Emission Data, Emission Fees and Process Information
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve
revisions to the Operating Permits Program for the State of Missouri
submitted on March 16, 2015. These revisions update the emissions fee
for permitted sources as set by Missouri Statute from $40 to $48 per
ton of air pollution emitted annually, effective January 1, 2016.
DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
February 16, 2016.
ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2015-0790, to http://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. The EPA may publish any
comment received to its public docket. Do not submit electronically any
information you consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI)
or other information whose disclosure is restricted by statute.
Multimedia submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a
written comment. The written comment is considered the official comment
and should include discussion of all points you wish to make. The EPA
will generally not consider comments or comment contents located
outside of the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or other
file sharing system). For additional submission methods, the full EPA

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's Title V revision to 10 C.S.R.
10-6.110 ``Reporting Emission Data, Emission Fees, and Process
Information'' 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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a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.
