ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2020-0289; FRL-10010-55-Region 7]


Air Plan Approval; Missouri; Control of Emissions From Industrial 
Surface Coating Operations

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) 
received on March 20, 2019. The submission revises a Missouri 
regulation that restricts emissions of volatile organic compounds 
(VOCs) from industrial surface coating operations in Clay, Jackson, and 
Platte Counties in Missouri. Specifically, the revisions to the rule 
remove unnecessary restrictive words, adds exemptions, including 
definitions specific to the rule, corrects test method references, 
removes obsolete requirements specific to sources that have closed, 
changes sections to the standard rule format, and makes minor 
clarifications and grammatical changes. The new exemptions are 
consistent with the Control Techniques Guidelines (CTG) for several 
types of surface coating or apply to activities that are regulated 
under other federal or state regulations that limit emissions of VOCs. 
The new exemptions are needed to make the rule consistent with the St. 
Louis version of this rule, 10 Code of State Regulation

[[Page 37412]]

(CSR) 10-5.330 Industrial Surface Coating Operations. These exemptions 
are not expected to result in an emission increase.
    The other revisions are administrative in nature and do not impact 
the stringency of the SIP or air quality. Approval of these revisions 
will ensure consistency between State and federally-approved rules.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before July 22, 2020.

ADDRESSES: You may send comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-

I. Written Comments

    Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-OAR-2020-
0289, at https://www.regulations.gov. 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 
public comment policy, information about CBI or multimedia submissions, 
and general guidance on making effective comments, please visit https://www.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

II. What is being addressed in this document?

    The EPA is proposing to approve revisions to 10 CSR 10-2.230 
``Control of Emissions from Industrial Surface Coating Operations'', 
which restricts emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from 
industrial surface coating operations in Clay, Jackson, and Platte 
Counties in Missouri. These revisions are described in detail in the 
technical support document (TSD) included in the docket for this 
action.
    Missouri received three comments from EPA during the comment 
period. Missouri responded to all three comments, as noted in the State 
submission included in the docket for this action. In response to EPA's 
comments, Missouri submitted a letter providing supplemental 
information regarding the revisions.
    Therefore, the EPA is proposing to approve the revisions to this 
rule because it will not have a negative impact on air quality.

III. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?

    The State submission has met the public notice requirements for SIP 
submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The submission also 
satisfied the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. The 
state provided public notice of the revisions from August 1, 2018, to 
October 4, 2018, and held a public hearing on September 27, 2018. The 
state received and addressed eight comments. As explained in more 
detail in the TSD which is part of this docket, the SIP revision 
submission meets the substantive requirements of the CAA, including 
section 110 and implementing regulations.

IV. What action is the EPA taking?

    The EPA is proposing to amend the Missouri SIP by approving the 
State's request to revise 10 CSR 10-2.230 ``Control of Emissions from 
Industrial Surface Coating Operations''. Approval of these revisions 
will ensure consistency between State and federally-approved rules. The 
EPA has determined that these changes will not adversely impact air 
quality.
    The EPA is soliciting comment on the substantive and administrative 
revisions detailed in this proposal and the TSD. The EPA is not 
soliciting comment on existing rule text that has been previously 
approved by the EPA into the SIP. Final rulemaking will occur after 
consideration of any comments.

V. Incorporation by Reference

    In this document, the EPA is proposing to include regulatory text 
in an EPA final rule that includes incorporation by reference. In 
accordance with the requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to 
incorporate by reference the Missouri State Implementation Plan and 
Supplemental modeling analyses described in the proposed amendments to 
40 CFR part 52 set forth below. The EPA has made, and will continue to 
make, these materials generally available through www.regulations.gov 
and at the EPA Region 7 Office (please contact the person identified in 
the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section of this preamble for more 
information).

VI. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

    Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Administrator is required to 
approve a SIP submission that complies with the provisions of the Act 
and applicable Federal regulations. 42 U.S.C. 7410(k); 40 CFR 52.02(a). 
Thus, in reviewing SIP submissions, the EPA's role is to approve State 
choices, if they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this action 
merely approves state law as meeting Federal requirements and does not 
impose additional requirements beyond those imposed by state law. For 
that reason, this action:
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to review 
by the Office of Management and Budget under Executive Orders 12866 (58 
FR 51735, October 4, 1993) and 13563 (76 FR 3821, January 21, 2011);
     Is not an Executive Order 13771 (82 FR 9339, February 2, 
2017) regulatory action because SIP approvals are exempted under 
Executive Order 12866.
     Does not impose an information collection burden under the 
provisions of the Paperwork Reduction Act (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.);
     Is certified as not having a significant economic impact 
on a substantial number of small entities under the Regulatory 
Flexibility Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.);
     Does not contain any unfunded mandate or significantly or 
uniquely affect small governments, as described

[[Page 37413]]

in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 (Pub. L. 104-4);
     Does not have Federalism implications as specified in 
Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, August 10, 1999);
     Is not an economically significant regulatory action based 
on health or safety risks subject to Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 
19885, April 23, 1997);
     Is not a significant regulatory action subject to 
Executive Order 13211 (66 FR 28355, May 22, 2001);
     Is not subject to requirements of the National Technology 
Transfer and Advancement Act (NTTA) because this rulemaking does not 
involve technical standards; and
     Does not provide EPA with the discretionary authority to 
address, as appropriate, disproportionate human health or environmental 
effects, using practicable and legally permissible methods, under 
Executive Order 12898 (59 FR 7629, February 16, 1994).
    The SIP is not approved to apply on any Indian reservation land or 
in any other area where EPA or an Indian tribe has demonstrated that a 
tribe has jurisdiction. In those areas of Indian country, the rule does 
not have tribal implications and will not impose substantial direct 
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law as specified by 
Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000).
