2018-07216. Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Missouri; Update to Materials Incorporated by Reference; Correcting Amendments

AGENCY:

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION:

Final rule; correcting amendments.

SUMMARY:

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), in a final rule action published in the Federal Register on August 6, 2015, erroneously approved and codified previously removed entries; erroneously omitted the addition of previously approved entries; and erroneously published codification of previously revised entries. This technical amendment corrects the erroneous entries.

DATES:

This rule is effective on April 9, 2018.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

The August 6, 2015 (80 FR 46804), Federal Register final rule and notice of administrative change inadvertently and erroneously approved and codified previously removed Missouri regulations; omitted the addition of a previously approved regulation; and erroneously published incorrect state effective dates and citation information for previously approved entries.

On October 21, 2014 (79 FR 62844), in a direct final rule, EPA approved a revision to “10-6.400”. The state effective date is 6/27/13.

On March 3, 2015 (80 FR 11323), in a final rule, EPA approved a revision to remove the chapter titled “Missouri Department of Public Safety, Division 50-State Highway Patrol, Chapter 2—Motor Vehicle Inspection” and its entries for “50-2.010 through 50-2.420”. This final rule also approved the addition of “10-5.381”.

On March 4, 2015 (80 FR 11577), EPA approved in a direct final rule a revision to remove the entry for “10-5.240” and approved revisions to Missouri regulations “10-6.010”, “10-6.020” and “10-6.040”. The state effective date of “10-6.010” is 7/30/14; the state effective date of “10-6.020” is 3/30/14; and the state effective date of “10-6.040” is 11/30/14.

Therefore, we are correcting the EPA's regulations to remove “10-5.240”; add “10-5.381”; remove the chapter titled “Missouri Department of Public Safety, Division 50-State Highway Patrol, Chapter 2—Motor Vehicle Inspection” and its entries for “50-2.010 through 50-2.420”; and revise “10-6.010”, “10-6.020” and “10-6.040” to reflect the most currently approved dates and citations.
