SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) proposes to establish a new DHS system of
records titled, ``DHS/FEMA-015 Fraud Investigations System of
Records.'' FEMA's Fraud Investigations and Inspections Division (FIID)
is responsible for investigating allegations of fraud involving federal
disaster funds and/or benefits by a disaster applicant or contractor
associated with a disaster assistance award or grant. These
investigations may relate to applicants for FEMA disaster benefits;
FEMA employees and contractors who violate law, policy, or procedure;
and insurance procurement and grant fraud. FEMA conducts these
investigations pursuant to an inquiry or tip from various sources,
including FEMA employees; government contractors supporting FEMA
operations; the DHS Office of the Inspector General (OIG); members of
the public; and other federal, state, local, or tribal law enforcement
entities.
    FEMA FIID routinely collects these records as part of standard
investigative protocols in support of disaster fraud investigations. In
the past few years, FEMA has experienced substantial increases in the
amount of fraud involving federal disaster benefits. For example,
during the storm events of 2017, FEMA experienced over $10 million in
identity theft fraud which involved stolen personally identifiable
information (PII) from both eligible and non-eligible disaster
applicants. FEMA has been proactive in working with its federal, state,
and local law enforcement partners, including the Federal Bureau of
Investigation (FBI), DHS/OIG, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban
Development/OIG, U.S. Small Business Administration/OIG, and U.S.
Social Security Administration/OIG, in combating and strengthening
safeguards to prevent fraud, while also considering the emergency needs
of many disaster applicants in the hardest hit areas of the country.
    As part of an investigation, FEMA FIID collects PII of disaster
applicants from the FEMA National Emergency Management Information
System (NEMIS)--Individual Assistance (IA) module. FEMA FIID may also
collect or confirm PII from commercial or government databases to
include Lexis Nexis, Thomas Reuters CLEAR, National Insurance Crime
Bureau/ISO Claim Search Plates, CarFax, or the FBI National Crime
Information Center (NCIC). FIID uses the information to document
financial transactions and compare data and information located in the
different databases to identify indications that may substantiate or
disprove fraud by a disaster applicant.
    Consistent with DHS's information sharing mission, information
collected by FEMA FIID and stored in the DHS/FEMA-Investigative Records
System of Records may be shared with other DHS Components that have a
need to know the information to carry out their national security, law
enforcement, immigration, intelligence, or other homeland security
functions. FEMA FIID generally shares the information with the
Department of Justice, U.S. Attorney Offices; and the U.S. Treasury
Department, Bureau of Fiscal Services in accordance with approved
Information Sharing and Access Agreements (ISAA). In addition, DHS/FEMA
may share information with appropriate federal, state, local, tribal,
territorial, foreign, or international government agencies consistent
with the routine uses set forth in the system of records notice.
    Additionally, DHS is issuing a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to
exempt this system of records from certain provisions of the Privacy
Act elsewhere in the Federal Register. This newly established system
will be included in DHS's inventory of record systems.

II. Privacy Act

    The Privacy Act embodies fair information practice principles in a
statutory framework governing the means by which federal government
agencies collect, maintain, use, and disseminate individuals' records.
The Privacy Act applies to information that is maintained in a ``system
of records.'' A ``system of records'' is a group of any records under
the control of an agency from which information is retrieved by the
name of an individual or by some identifying number, symbol, or other
identifying particular assigned to the individual. In the Privacy Act,
an individual is defined to encompass U.S. citizens and lawful
permanent residents. Additionally, and similarly, the Judicial Redress
Act (JRA) provides a statutory right to covered persons to make
requests for access and amendment to covered records, as defined by the
JRA, along with judicial review for denials of such requests. In
addition, the JRA prohibits disclosures of covered records, except as
otherwise permitted by the Privacy Act.
    Below is the description of the DHS/FEMA-015 Fraud Investigations
System of Records.
    In accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552a(r), DHS has provided a report of
this system of records to the Office of

Management and Budget and to Congress.

as is necessary and relevant to such audit or oversight function.
    E. To appropriate agencies, entities, and persons when (1) DHS
suspects or has confirmed that there has been a breach of the system of
records; (2) DHS

has determined that as a result of the suspected or confirmed breach,
there is a risk of harm to individuals, DHS (including its information
systems, programs, and operations), the federal government, or national
security; and (3) the disclosure made to such agencies, entities, and
persons is reasonably necessary to assist in connection with DHS's
efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed breach or to prevent,
minimize, or remedy such harm.
    F. To another federal agency or federal entity, when DHS determines
that information from this system of records is reasonably necessary to
assist the recipient agency or entity in (1) responding to a suspected

its information systems, programs, and operations), the federal
government, or national security, resulting from a suspected or
confirmed breach.
    G. To contractors and their agents, grantees, experts, consultants,
and others performing or working on a contract, service, grant,

the same Privacy Act requirements and limitations on disclosure as are
applicable to DHS officers and employees.
    H. To an appropriate federal, state, tribal, local, international,
or foreign law enforcement agency or other appropriate authority
charged with investigating or prosecuting a violation or enforcing or
implementing a law, rule, regulation, or order, when a record, either

pertinent to the fraud investigation, including those investigations to
prevent or identify fraudulent disaster applications involving identity
theft.
    J. To the news media and the public, with the approval of the Chief
Privacy Officer in consultation with counsel, when there exists a
legitimate public interest in the disclosure of the information, when
disclosure is necessary to preserve confidence in the integrity of DHS,
or when disclosure is necessary to demonstrate the accountability of
DHS's officers, employees, or individuals covered by the system, except
to the extent the Chief Privacy Officer determines that release of the
specific information in the context of a particular case would
constitute a clearly unwarranted invasion of personal privacy.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR STORAGE OF RECORDS:
    DHS/FEMA stores records in this system electronically, paper files,
magnetic disc, tape, or other digital media in a locked drawer within
secure access-controlled facilities.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETRIEVAL OF RECORDS:
    Records may be retrieved by an individual's name or address, fraud
complaint or investigation number, FEMA Registration Identification
Number, or FEMA FIID investigator's name.

POLICIES AND PRACTICES FOR RETENTION AND DISPOSAL OF RECORDS:
    In accordance with National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) authority N1-311-99-6, Item 1, AUD 1-1, FEMA FIID retains
investigative case files containing information or allegations which
are of an investigative nature but do not relate to a specific
investigation for five (5) years. Further, in accordance with NARA
authority N1-311-99-6, Item 2, AUD 1-2, FEMA FIID retains all other
investigative case files except those that are unusually significant
for documenting major criminal or ethical violations by others for ten
(10) years from the end of the fiscal year when a case is closed.
Additionally, in accordance with NARA authority N1-311-99-6, Item 3,
AUD 1-3, FEMA FIID retains significant investigative case files that
attract significant attention from the media or Congress; result in
substantive agency policies and procedures; or are cited in OIG's
periodic reports to Congress. These case files are retired to the
Federal Records Center five (5) years from when a case is closed and
transferred to the National Archives twenty (20) years from when a case
is closed.

ADMINISTRATIVE, TECHNICAL, AND PHYSICAL SAFEGUARDS:
     DHS/FEMA safeguards records in this system according to applicable
rules and policies, including all applicable DHS automated systems
security and access policies. DHS/FEMA FIID has imposed strict controls
to minimize the risk of compromising the information that is being
stored. Access to the computer system containing the records in this
system or any paper files in the access-controlled cabinets are limited
to those individuals who have a need to know the information for the
performance of their official duties and who have appropriate
clearances or permissions.

RECORD ACCESS PROCEDURES:
    The Secretary of Homeland Security has exempted this system from
the notification, access, and amendment procedures of the Privacy Act,
and the Judicial Redress Act if applicable to protect information
relating to DHS activities from disclosure to subjects or others
related to these activities. Specifically, the exemptions are required
to preclude subjects of these activities from frustrating these
processes; to avoid disclosure of activity techniques; ensure DHS's
ability to obtain information from third parties and other sources; and
to protect the privacy of third parties. Disclosure of information to
the subject of the inquiry could also permit the subject to avoid
detection or apprehension.
    However, DHS/FEMA will consider individual requests to determine
whether information may be released. Thus, individuals seeking access
to and notification of any record contained in this system of records,
or seeking to contest its content, may submit a request in writing to
the Chief Privacy Officer and FEMA FOIA Officer whose contact
information can be found at http://www.dhs.gov/foia under ``Contacts
Information.'' If an individual believes more than one component
maintains Privacy Act records concerning him or her, the individual may
submit the request to the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief Freedom of
Information Act Officer, U.S. Department of Homeland Security,
Washington, DC 20528-0655. Even if neither the Privacy Act nor the
Judicial Redress Act provide a right of access, certain records may be
available under the Freedom of Information Act.
    When seeking records from this system of records or any other
Departmental system of records, the request must conform with the
Privacy Act regulations set forth in 6 CFR part 5. Individuals must
first verify identity, meaning that that full name, current address,
and date and place of birth must be provided. Request must be signed,
and the signature must either be

notarized or submitted under 28 U.S.C. 1746, a law that permits
statements to be made under penalty of perjury as a substitute for
notarization. While no specific form is required, forms for this
purpose may be obtained from the Chief Privacy Officer and Chief
Freedom of Information Act Officer, http://www.dhs.gov/foia or 1-866-
431-0486. In addition, requestors should:
     Explain why the requestor believes that the Department
would have information on the requestor;
     Identify which component(s) of the Department may have the
information;
     Specify the records would have been created; and
     Provide any other information that will help the FOIA
staff determine which DHS component agency may have responsive records;
    If the request is seeking records pertaining to another living
individual, the request must include a statement from that individual
certifying his/her agreement for the requestor to access his/her
records.
    Without the above information, the component(s) may not be able to
conduct an effective search, and the request may be denied due to lack
of specificity or lack of compliance with applicable regulations.

CONTESTING RECORD PROCEDURES:
    For records covered by the Privacy Act or covered JRA records,
individuals may make a request for amendment or correction of a record
of the Department about the individual by writing directly to the
Department component that maintains the record, unless the record is
not subject to amendment or correction. The request should identify
each particular record in question, state the amendment or correction
desired, and state why the individual believes that the record is not
accurate, relevant, timely, or complete. The individual may submit any
documentation that would be helpful. If the individual believes that
the same record is in more than one system of records, the request
should state that and be addressed to each component that maintains a
system of records containing the record. For records covered by the
Privacy Act or covered Judicial Redress Act records, see ``Record
Access Procedures'' above.

NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES:
    See ``Record Access Procedures'' above.

EXEMPTIONS PROMULGATED FOR THE SYSTEM:
    The Secretary of Homeland Security, pursuant to 5 U.S.C.
552a(k)(2), has exempted this system from the following provisions of
the Privacy Act: 5 U.S.C. 552a(c)(3); (d); (e)(1); (e)(4)(G),
(e)(4)(H), (e)(4)(I); and (f). While investigating a complaint,
records, or information covered by other systems of records may become
part of, merged with, or recompiled within this system. To the extent
this occurs, DHS will claim the same exemptions for those records that
are claimed in the original primary systems from which they originated
and claim any additional exemptions set forth here.

HISTORY:
    None.

Meadowbrook State Parkway Bridges may remain in the closed position
between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m. on May 27, 2017 and between 4 p.m. and 7 p.m.
on May 28, 2017.
    Vessels able to pass under the bridge in the closed position may do
so at any time. The bridges will not be able to open for emergencies
and there are no immediate alternate routes for vessels to pass.
    The Coast Guard will also inform the users of the waterways through
our Local and Broadcast Notices to Mariners of the change in operating
schedule for the bridge so that vessels can arrange their transits to
minimize any impact caused by the temporary deviation.
    In accordance with 33 CFR 117.35(e), the drawbridge must return to
its regular operating schedule immediately at the end of the effective
period of this temporary deviation. This deviation from the operating

Sec.  1002.30(b) by deleting ``paragraph (c) of Sec.  1002.61'' and
replacing it with ``table 1 of Sec.  1002.1.'' FDA updated

Sec.  1002.30(a) to reflect this change, but inadvertently retained the
reference to ``paragraph (c) of Sec.  1002.61'' in Sec.  1002.30(b).
With this technical amendment, the entirety of the regulation at Sec.
1002.30 accurately references ``table 1 of Sec.  1002.1,'' which is the
former paragraph (c) of Sec.  1002.61.
    In addition, FDA is amending its regulations at part 1002 and parts
1005 and 1010 (21 CFR parts 1005 and 1010) to correct statutory
references. These parts intermittently cite sections of the Radiation
Control for Health and Safety Act of 1968 (Radiation Control Act)
(Public Law 90-602). However, ``Act'' is defined in 21 CFR 1000.3(b),
and applicable throughout 21 CFR parts 1000 to 1050, subchapter J, to
mean the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FFDCA) (21 U.S.C. 360hh-
360ss). The Safe Medical Devices Act of 1990 (SMDA) (Public Law 101-
629), transferred the Radiation Control Act to the FFDCA. With these
technical amendments, FDA is replacing citations to the Radiation
Control Act with citations to the corresponding sections of the FFDCA.
FDA is revising Sec. Sec.  1002.41(a)(1) and 1002.42 by replacing
section ``359'' of the act with section ``535.'' FDA is revising Sec.
1005.25(c) by replacing section ``360(d)'' of the act with section
``536(d).'' FDA is revising Sec.  1010.4(c)(3) by replacing section
``360A(e)'' of the act with section ``537(e).''
    Finally, FDA is amending its authority citations in parts 1003,
1004, 1005, 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, and 1050 to correct statutory
citations. These parts cite to the Public Health Service Act, which
codified the Radiation Control Act at 42 U.S.C. 263b-263n, until the
SMDA transferred the Radiation Control Act to the FFDCA. Section
19(a)(3) of the SMDA also repealed section 354 of the Radiation Control
Act, codified at 42 U.S.C. 263b, which contained Congress's declaration
of purpose in enacting the program of electronic product radiation
controls. The SMDA redesignated and transferred the remaining sections
to the FFDCA at 21 U.S.C. 360hh-360ss. The authority citations in parts
1003, 1004, 1005, 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, and 1050 to 42 U.S.C. 263b-
263n were not correspondingly updated to reflect the transfer of the
Radiation Control Act from the Public Health Service Act to the FFDCA.
With these technical amendments, FDA is replacing citations to the
Public Health Service Act with citations to the corresponding sections
of the FFDCA. Thus, FDA is revising parts 1003, 1004, 1010, 1030, 1040,
and 1050 by replacing the authority citation of ``42 U.S.C. 263b-263n''
with ``21 U.S.C. 360hh-360ss.'' FDA is similarly revising part 1005 by
replacing the authority citation of ``42 U.S.C. 263d, 263h'' with ``21
U.S.C. 360ii, 360mm.'' FDA is also revising part 1020 by deleting the
authority citation to 21 U.S.C. 360gg. Although section 354 of the
Radiation Control Act would have been designated as 21 U.S.C. 360gg had
the provision been transferred to the FFDCA, the SMDA repealed that
section. As a result, the citation to 21 U.S.C. 360gg in part 1020 is
an inadvertent error that this technical amendment will correct by
deleting that part of the authority citation.
    Publication of this document constitutes final action on the change
under the Administrative Procedure Act (5 U.S.C. 553). These technical
amendments correct regulatory and statutory references in the Code of
Federal Regulations. FDA therefore, for good cause, has determined that
notice and public comment are unnecessary, under 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(3)(B).
Further, this rule places no burden on affected parties for which such
parties would need a reasonable time to prepare for the effective date
of the rule. Accordingly, FDA, for good cause, had determined this
technical amendment to be exempt under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3) from the 30-
day effective date from publication.
    FDA has determined under 21 CFR 25.30(i) that this final rule is of
a type that does not individually or cumulatively have a significant
effect on the human environment. Therefore, neither an environmental
assessment nor an environmental impact statement is required. In
addition, FDA has determined that this final rule contains no
collections of information. Therefore, clearance by the Office
Management and Budget under the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995 is not
required.
    For the effective date of this final rule, see the DATES section of
this document.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[Release No. 34-57207; File No. SR-ISE-2007-95]

Self-Regulatory Organizations; International Securities Exchange,
LLC; Notice of Filing of a Proposed Rule Change, as Modified by
Amendment Nos. 2 and 3, Relating to Reserve Orders

January 25, 2008.
    Pursuant to Section 19(b)(1) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
(``Act''),\1\ and Rule 19b-4 thereunder,\2\ notice is hereby given that
on October 12, 2007, the International Securities Exchange, LLC
(``ISE'' or ``Exchange'') filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (``Commission'') the proposed rule change as described in
Items I, II, and III below, which Items have been substantially
prepared by the Exchange. The ISE filed Amendment Nos. 1 and 2 to the
proposal on January 17, 2008.\3\ On January 25, 2008, the ISE filed
Amendment No. 3 to the proposed rule change.\4\ The Commission is
publishing this notice to solicit comments on the proposed rule change,
as amended, from interested persons.

    \1\ 15 U.S.C. 78s(b)(1).
    \2\ 17 CFR 240.19b-4.
    \3\ Amendment No. 2 replaces the original filing and Amendment
No. 1 in their entirety.
    \4\ Amendment No. 3 clarifies portions of the purpose section of
the proposed rule change.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

I. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Terms of Substance
of the Proposed Rule Change

    The Exchange proposes to add a new order type called Reserve
Orders. The text of the proposed rule change is available at the
Exchange, the Commission's Public Reference Room, and http://www.ise.com
.

II. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change

    In its filing with the Commission, the Exchange included statements
concerning the purpose of, and basis for, the proposed rule change and
discussed any comments it received on the proposed rule change. The
text of these statements may be examined at the places specified in
Item IV below. The Exchange has prepared summaries, set forth in
Sections A, B, and C below, of the most significant aspects of such
statements.
    A. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement of the Purpose of, and
Statutory Basis for, the Proposed Rule Change
1. Purpose
    The Exchange proposes to implement a new order type called Reserve
Orders. A Reserve Order is a single-sided limit order that resides in
the Exchange's regular limit order book and has both a displayed
portion and a non-displayed or reserve portion. The displayed portion
would behave exactly like a regular order and would trade in accordance
with the Exchange's standard allocation rules, i.e., time priority for
customers and pro-rata for non-customers.\5\ The following examples
illustrate how Reserve Orders will trade on the Exchange:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \5\ See ISE Rule 713 and Supplementary Material .01 thereto.

    Example 1:
The Exchange's order book shows the following at the Best Bid:
10 contracts (100 contracts in reserve)--Customer 1
12 contracts--Customer 2
25 contracts--Competitive Market Maker
20 contracts (500 contracts in reserve)--Broker/Dealer

    An order comes in to sell 50 contracts at market. This order would
be executed with the displayed customer orders trading in time priority
followed by non-customers pro-rata, as follows:

10 contracts trade with Customer 1
12 contracts trade with Customer 2
16 contracts trade with Competitive Market Maker (``CMM''): This
allocation is calculated as follows: (25/45) x 28, where the numerator
(25) is the number of contracts that a CMM is willing to trade, and the
denominator (45) is the number of contracts that are available for
execution. The resulting number (0.5555) is then multiplied by the
number of contracts that have not been executed (28).
The remaining 11 contracts trade with the Broker/Dealer.

    Example 2:
The Exchange's order book shows the same at the Best Bid as in Example
1:
An order to sell 200 contracts at market will be executed as follows:
10 contracts trade with Customer 1
12 contracts trade with Customer 2
25 contracts trade with CMM
20 contracts trade with the Broker/Dealer
100 contracts (the entire reserve portion of Customer 1) trade with
Customer 1
33 contracts (from the 500 contracts in reserve) trade with the Broker/
Dealer
    When the displayed portion of a Reserve Order is decremented,
either in full or in part, it shall be refreshed from the non-displayed
portion of the resting Reserve Order. If the displayed portion is
refreshed in part, the new displayed portion shall include the
previously displayed portion. Upon any refresh, the entire displayed
portion shall be ranked at the specified limit price, assigned a new
entry time and given priority in accordance with Rule 713.
    The non-displayed portion of Reserve Orders shall be ranked based
on the specified limit price and the time of order entry. Upon any
refresh, any remaining non-displayed portion shall be assigned a new
time stamp, same as that assigned to the newly displayed portion. The
non-displayed portion of any Reserve Order is available for execution
only after all displayed interest has been executed.
    The Exchange notes that the full size, i.e., both the displayed and
non-displayed portions, of an incoming Reserve Order will be available
for execution if that incoming order is marketable. Further, in the
event an incoming order is large enough to trade through all displayed
quantities, the non-displayed quantities of all resting Reserve Orders
will be eligible to trade, again in accordance with the Exchange's
standard allocation rules.
    The Exchange believes that the new order type proposed in this rule
change will provide greater flexibility to members to control their
orders. By offering this new order type, members will be able to
determine how much of their order they want disseminated at any point
in time and help them eliminate the need to enter multiple orders in
one series. The Exchange states that this new functionality will be
purely voluntary and is similar to that currently offered \6\ or
proposed \7\ by other options exchanges.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \6\ See NYSE Arca Rule 6.76(a).
    \7\ See Securities Exchange Act Release No. 55667 (April 25,
2007), 72 FR 23869 (May 1, 2007) (SR-NASDAQ-2007-004) (Notice of
Filing of Proposed Rule Change and Amendment No. 1 To Establish
Rules Governing the Trading of Options on the NASDAQ Options
Market).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

2. Statutory Basis
    The Exchange believes the proposed rule change is consistent with
Section

6(b) of the Act,\8\ in general, and furthers the objectives of Section
6(b)(5) of the Act,\9\ in particular, in that it is designed to prevent
fraudulent and manipulative acts, promote just and equitable principles
of trade, remove impediments to and perfect the mechanism of a free and
open market and a national market system, and, in general, to protect
investors and the public interest. The Exchange believes that this new
order type will offer market participants new trading opportunities on
the Exchange and enhance the Exchange's competitive position.

    \9\ 15 U.S.C. 78f(b)(5).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

B. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Burden on Competition
    The Exchange believes that the proposed rule change does not impose
any burden on competition that is not necessary or appropriate in
furtherance of the purposes of the Act.
C. Self-Regulatory Organization's Statement on Comments on the Proposed
Rule Change Received From Members, Participants or Others
    The Exchange has not solicited, and does not intend to solicit,
comments on this proposed rule change. The Exchange has not received
any written comments from members or other interested parties.

III. Date of Effectiveness of the Proposed Rule Change and Timing for
Commission Action

    Within 35 days of the date of publication of this notice in the
Federal Register or within such longer period (i) as the Commission may
designate up to 90 days of such date if it finds such longer period to
be appropriate and publishes its reasons for so finding, or (ii) as to
which the Exchange consents, the Commission will:
    A. By order approve the proposed rule change or
    B. Institute proceedings to determine whether the proposed rule
change should be disapproved.

IV. Solicitation of Comments

    Interested persons are invited to submit written data, views, and
arguments concerning the foregoing, including whether the proposed rule
change is consistent with the Act. Comments may be submitted by any of
the following methods:

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2008-0787; FRL-9096-3]

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; State of
Missouri

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: EPA proposes to approve a revision to the State Implementation
Plan (SIP) submitted by the state of Missouri. This revision applies to
Missouri's rule relating to restriction of emission of visible air
contaminants and removes redundant definitions, removes an outdated
exemption for incinerators used to burn refuse in the outstate area of
Missouri, and clarifies that the test methods stated in the rule shall
be used to determine the opacity of visible emissions. EPA is not
taking action on the state submitted revisions relating to open
burning, as these provisions revise a rule that has not been adopted
into the SIP. This revision will ensure consistency between the state
and the federally-approved rules.

DATES: Comments on this proposed action must be received in writing by
January 28, 2010.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2008-0787, by mail to Lachala Kemp, Environmental Protection
Agency, Air Planning and Development Branch, 901 North 5th Street,
Kansas City, Kansas 66101. Comments may also be submitted
electronically or through hand delivery/courier by following the
detailed instructions in the ADDRESSES section of the direct final rule
located in the rules section of this Federal Register.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Lachala Kemp at<PHONE_NUMBER>, or by
e-mail at<EMAIL_ADDRESS>

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision with the exception
of the reference in section (1)(I), to the open burning rule in 10 CSR
10-6.045, as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this is a noncontroversial revision amendment and
anticipates no relevant adverse comments to this action. 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.
