by the State of Missouri on May 8, 2012 and October 17, 2013, related 
to a Missouri rule titled ``Restriction of Emissions of Particulate 
Matter from Industrial Processes.'' These SIP revisions are 
administrative and provide the following: Updates an outdated reference 
in the current SIP approved rule; provides a hierarchy of compliance 
measurement approaches requested by EPA; provides a clarification on 
applicability; and, deletes redundant definitions.

November 20, 2014.

Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 11201 Renner Boulevard,

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adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all 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