Agency (EPA).
ACTION
: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY
: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing approval of
a State Implementation Plan (SIP)
revision submitted by Missouri on
January 19, 2021. Missouri requests that
the EPA approve into Missouri’s SIP
revisions to its rule related to control of
emissions from batch process
operations. These revisions update
references to the appropriate state rule
for New Source Performance
Regulations. These revisions are
administrative in nature and do not
reduce the stringency of the SIP or have
an adverse impact to air quality. The
EPA’s proposed approval of this rule
revision is being done in accordance
with the requirements of the Clean Air
Act (CAA).

II. What is being addressed in this
document?
The EPA is proposing to approve
revisions to the Missouri SIP received
on January 19, 2021. The revisions are
to Title 10, Division 10 of the Code of
State Regulations (CSR), 10 CSR 10–
5.540 ‘‘Control of Emissions From Batch
Process Operations’’ which limits the
volatile organic compound (VOC)
emissions from batch process operations
by incorporating reasonably available
control technology (RACT) requirements
in the St. Louis 1997 ozone
nonattainment area as required by the
Clean Air Act Amendments (CAAA) of
1990. These revisions remove references
to state rule 10 CSR 10–6.030,
‘‘Sampling Methods for Air Pollution
Sources,’’ and replaces them with
references to 10 CSR 10–6.070, ‘‘New
Source Performance Regulations,’’
where the new source performance
standards in 40 CFR part 60 are
appropriately incorporated by reference.
These revisions are described in detail
in the technical support document
(TSD) included in the docket for this
action.
Missouri received no comments
during the state public comment period
on the proposed rule revisions. 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 on this SIP revision from
December 16, 2019 to February 6, 2020
and received no comments on this
rulemaking. As explained above and in
the TSD included in the docket, the
revision meets the substantive SIP
requirements of the CAA, including
section 110 and implementing
regulations.
IV. What action is the EPA proposing to
take?
The EPA is proposing to approve
Missouri’s request to revise 10 CSR 10–
5.540. 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 requirements of 1 CFR
51.5, the EPA is proposing to
incorporate by reference the Missouri
Regulation 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 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);
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 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).

Air Plan Approval; Nevada; Revisions
to Clark County Ozone Maintenance
Plan
AGENCY
: Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION
: Proposed rule.
SUMMARY
: The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a
revision to the State of Nevada’s state
implementation plan (SIP) for Clark
County. The revision consists of an
update to certain elements of the
maintenance plan for the Clark County
air quality planning area for the 1997 8-
hour ozone national ambient air quality
standards (NAAQS or ‘‘standards’’),
including certain emissions inventories
and motor vehicle emissions budgets.
The EPA is proposing to approve the
SIP revision because the Clark County
ozone maintenance plan, as revised,
continues to provide for maintenance of
the 1997 ozone NAAQS and will not
interfere with attainment or reasonable
further progress of the other NAAQS,
and the motor vehicle emissions
budgets meet the applicable
transportation conformity requirements.

I. What action is the EPA proposing?
Under section 110(k) of the Clean Air
Act (‘‘Act’’ or CAA), the EPA is required
to take action by approving,
disapproving, or conditionally
approving, in whole or in part, SIPs and
SIP revisions submitted by the states. In
today’s action, the EPA is proposing to
approve a SIP revision titled ‘‘Revision
to Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets for
the 1997 Ozone NAAQS, Clark County,
Nevada’’ (August 2020) (herein, referred
to as the ‘‘2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan
Revision’’), submitted by the Nevada
Division of Environmental Protection
(NDEP) on September 30, 2020.

The
2020 Ozone Maintenance Plan Revision
updates certain elements of the
maintenance plan for Clark County for
the 1997 ozone NAAQS, including
certain emissions inventories and the
motor vehicle emissions budgets
(‘‘budgets’’ or MVEBs). The 2020 Ozone
Maintenance Plan Revision was
prepared in response to the EPA’s
conditional approval of the ‘‘Revision to
Motor Vehicle Emissions Budgets in
Ozone Redesignation Request and
