The revised State Plan incorporates revisions to the Emissions Guidelines (EG) for MSW landfills promulgated by EPA in 2000 and 2006. The plan also corrects typographical and administrative changes in the Missouri rules. The plan was submitted to fulfill the requirements of section 111 of the Clean Air Act (CAA).

Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by May 15, 2014.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

In the final rules section of today's Federal Register, EPA is approving the state's 111(d) plan revision as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no relevant adverse comments because the revisions are administrative and consistent with Federal regulations. 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 If EPA receives relevant adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed action.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.
