ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R07-OAR-2020-0339; FRL-10011-79-Region 7]
Air Plan Approval; Missouri; Control of Emissions From Industrial
Surface Coating Operations
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve revisions to the Missouri State Implementation Plan (SIP)
received on March 7, 2019. The submission revises Missouri's regulation
that restricts the emissions of volatile organic compounds from
industrial surface coating operations in St. Louis City and Jefferson,
St. Charles, Franklin, and St. Louis Counties. Specifically, the
revisions to the rule adds a new surface coating category for the
decorative coating of foam products, establishes an appropriate
emission limit for this type of surface coating operation, removes
obsolete provisions that were applicable prior to March 1, 2012,
removes a reference to a rule that is being rescinded, removes the
unnecessary use of restrictive words, adds definitions specific to this
rule, changes rule language to be consistent with defined terms, and
updates incorporations by reference.
The new emission limit for decorative coating of foam products is a
SIP strengthening and will not adversely impact the air quality in the
St. Louis area. The remaining 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 August 10, 2020.
ADDRESSES: You may send comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2020-0339 to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online

I. Written Comments
Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-OAR-2020-
0339, 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
[[Page 41478]]
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 the Missouri SIP
received on March 7, 2019. The revisions are to Title 10, Division 10
of the Code of State Regulations, 10 CSR 10-5.330 ``Control of
Emissions From Industrial Surface Coating Operations'', which restricts
the emissions of volatile organic compounds from industrial surface
coating operations in St. Louis City and Jefferson, St. Charles,
Franklin, and St. Louis Counties. 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. 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 three 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 EPA taking?
The EPA is proposing to amend the Missouri SIP by approving the
State's request to revise 10 CSR 10-5.330 ``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 processing this as a proposed action because we are
soliciting comments on the action. 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 a final rule that includes incorporation by reference. In accordance
with requirements of 1 CFR 51.5, the EPA is proposing to incorporate by
reference the Missouri Regulations described in the proposed amendments
to 40 CFR part 52 set forth below. 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, provided that 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 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 the 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).
