AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve a request to amend the Missouri State 
Implementation Plan (SIP) to include revisions to the St. Louis Solvent 
Metal Cleaning rule. The revisions to this rule include consolidating 
exemptions in the applicability section, adding new exemptions, adding 
definitions of new and previously undefined terms, and clarifying rule 
language regarding operating procedure requirements for spray gun 
cleaners and air-tight and airless cleaning systems. This revision will 
ensure consistency between the state and the Federally-approved rules.

April 9, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal

rule

[[Page 10627]]

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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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: February 27, 2007.
