40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R04-OAR-2007-1186-200821(a); FRL-8781-5]

Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans:
Kentucky; Approval Section 110(a)(1) Maintenance Plans for the 1997 8-
Hour Ozone Standard for the Huntington-Ashland Area, Lexington Area and
Edmonson County

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is approving revisions to the Kentucky State
Implementation Plan (SIP) concerning the maintenance plans addressing
the 1997 8-hour ozone standard for the following areas: the Kentucky
portion of the Huntington--Ashland Area (a portion of Greenup County);
Lexington Area (Fayette and Scott Counties); and Edmonson County. These
maintenance plans were submitted to EPA on May 27, 2008, by the
Commonwealth of Kentucky and ensure the continued attainment of the
1997 8-hour ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS) through
the year 2020. These plans meet the statutory and regulatory
requirements, and are consistent with EPA's guidance. EPA is approving
the revisions pursuant to section 110 of the Clean Air Act (``CAA'' or
``Act''). On March 12, 2008, EPA issued a revised ozone standard. The
current action, however, is being taken to address requirements under
the 1997 ozone standard. Requirements for the Huntington-Ashland,
Lexington, and Edmonson County Areas under the 2008 standard will be
addressed in the future.

DATES: This rule is effective on May 26, 2009 without further notice,
unless EPA receives adverse comment by April 24, 2009. If EPA receives
such comment, EPA will publish a timely withdrawal in the Federal
Register informing the public that this rule will not take effect.

I. Background

    In accordance with the CAA, the Huntington-Ashland Area \1\,
Lexington Area \2\ and Edmonson County were designated as nonattainment
for the 1-hour ozone NAAQS (effective January 6, 1992, 56 FR 56694).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ For the 1997 8-hour ozone standard Scott and Fayette
Counties were previously in the Lexington 1-hour maintenance area
but were individually designated attainment for the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard.
    \2\ The 1-hour ozone nonattainment area for the Huntington-
Ashland includes Boyd County and a portion of Greenup County in
Kentucky. For the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, Boyd County in the
Huntington-Ashland area was designated nonattainment, whereas the
portion of Greenup County that was designated nonattainment for the
1-hour ozone standard was designated attainment for the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    On November 13, 1992, the Commonwealth of Kentucky submitted a
request to redesignate the Lexington Area and Edmonson County to
attainment for the 1-hour ozone standard. Subsequently, on November 12,
1993, the Commonwealth of Kentucky submitted a request to redesignate
the Huntington-Ashland Area to attainment for the 1-hour ozone
standard. At the same time as the redesignation requests, Kentucky
submitted the required ozone monitoring data and maintenance plans to
ensure that the Areas would remain in attainment for the 1-hour ozone
standard for a period of 10 years, consistent with the CAA 175A(a). The
maintenance plans submitted by Kentucky followed EPA guidance for
limited maintenance areas, which was provided for the 1-hour ozone
standard areas that have design values less than 85 percent of the
applicable standard. In this case, the applicable standard was the 1-
hour ozone standard of 0.12 parts per million (ppm).
    EPA approved Kentucky's requests to redesignate the Huntington-
Ashland Area (60 FR 33748), Lexington Area (60 FR 47089) and Edmonson
County (59 FR 55053) to attainment for the 1-hour ozone standard. The
maintenance plan for the Huntington-Ashland Area (a portion of Greenup
County) was approved on June 29, 1995, with an effective date of June
29, 1995 (60 FR 33748). The maintenance plan for the Lexington Area was
approved on September 11, 1995, with an effective date of November 13,
1995 (60 FR 47089). The 1-hour ozone maintenance plan for Edmonson
County was approved on November 3, 1994, with an effective date of
January 3, 1995 (59 FR 55053).
    On April 30, 2004, EPA designated areas for the 1997 8-hour ozone
NAAQS (69 FR 23858), and published the final Phase I Implementation
Rule for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS (69 FR 23951) (Phase I Rule). The
Huntington-Ashland Area, Lexington Area, and Edmonson County were
designated as attainment for the 1997 8-hour ozone standard, effective
June 15, 2004. The attainment areas consequently were required to
submit 10-year maintenance plans under section 110(a)(1) of the CAA and
the Phase I Rule. On May 20, 2005, EPA issued guidance providing
information on how a state might fulfill the maintenance plan
obligation established by the CAA and the Phase I Rule (Memorandum from
Lydia N. Wegman to Air Division Directors, Maintenance Plan Guidance
Document for Certain 8-hour Ozone Areas Under Section 110(a)(1) of
Clean Air Act, May 20, 2005--hereafter referred to as ``Wegman
Memorandum''). On December 22, 2006, the United States Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit issued an opinion that vacated
portions of EPA's Phase I Implementation Rule for the 1997 8-hour Ozone
Standard. See South Coast Air Quality Management District. v. EPA, 472
F.3d 882 (D.C. Cir. 2006). The Court vacated those portions of the Rule
that provided for regulation of the 1997 8-hour ozone nonattainment
areas designated under Subpart 1 in lieu of Subpart 2 (of part D of the
CAA), among other portions. The Court's decision does not alter any
requirements under the Phase I Rule for maintenance plans. Kentucky's
May 27, 2008, proposed SIP revision satisfies the section 110(a)(1) CAA
requirements for a plan that provides for implementation, maintenance,
and enforcement of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS in the Huntington-
Ashland, Lexington, and Edmonson County Areas.

II. Analysis of the State's Submittals

    On May 27, 2008, the Commonwealth of Kentucky submitted SIP
revisions containing 1997 8-hour ozone maintenance plans for the
portion of Greenup County in the Huntington-Ashland Area, the Lexington
Area, and Edmonson County as required by section 110(a)(1) of the CAA
and the provisions of EPA's Phase I Rule (see 40 CFR 51.905(a)(4)). The
purpose of these maintenance plans are to ensure continued attainment
and maintenance of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS in the Huntington-
Ashland Area, Lexington Area, and Edmonson County until 2020.
    As required, these plans provide for continued attainment and
maintenance of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS in the area for 10 years
from the effective date of the area's designation as attainment for the
1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS, and include components illustrating how each
area will continue attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS and
provides contingency measures. Each of

the section 110(a)(1) plan components is discussed below for each area.
    a. Attainment Inventory. Kentucky developed comprehensive
inventories of volatile organic compounds (VOC) and nitrogen oxide
(NOX) emissions from area, stationary, and mobile sources
using 2002 as the base year to demonstrate maintenance of the 1997 8-
hour ozone NAAQS for the Huntington-Ashland Area, Lexington Area and
Edmonson County. The year 2002 is an appropriate year for Kentucky to
base attainment level emissions because states may select any one of
the three years on which the 1997 8-hour attainment designation was
based (2001, 2002, and 2003). The Commonwealth's submittals contain the
detailed inventory data and summaries by source category. Using the
2002 inventory as a base year reflects one of the years used for
calculating the air quality design values on which the 1997 8-hour
ozone designation decisions were based. 2002 also is one of the years
in the 2002-2004 period used to establish baseline visibility levels
for the regional haze program.
    A further practical reason for selecting 2002 as the base year
emission inventory is that section 110(a)(2)(B) of the CAA and the
Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule (67 FR 39602, June 10, 2002)
require states to submit emissions inventories for all criteria
pollutants and their precursors every three years, on a schedule that
includes the emissions year 2002. The due date for the 2002 emissions
inventory is established in the Rule as June 2004. In accordance with
these requirements, Kentucky compiles a statewide emissions inventory
for point sources on an annual basis. On-road mobile emissions of VOC
and NOX were estimated using MOBILE 6.2 motor vehicle
emissions factor computer model. Non-road mobile emissions data were
derived using the U.S. EPA's Non-Road Model.
    In projecting data for the attainment year 2020 inventory, Kentucky
used several methods to project data from the base year 2002 to the
years 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 2020. These projected
inventories were developed using EPA-approved technologies and
methodologies. Point source and non-point source projections were
derived from the Emissions Growth Analysis System version 4.0 (EGAS
4.0). Non-road mobile projections were derived from EGAS 4.0, as well
as from the National Mobile Inventory Model.
    The following tables provide VOC and NOX emissions data
for the 2002 base attainment year inventory, as well as projected VOC
and NOX emission inventory data for 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014,
2017 and 2020.

                           Table 1--Partial Greenup County Portion of Huntington-Ashland Area VOC and NOX Emissions Inventory
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                          Emissions                                2002         2005         2008         2011         2014         2017         2020
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total VOC (tons per day).....................................         3.14         2.86         2.69         2.53         2.43         2.36         2.33

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

    As shown in Table 1 above, the Kentucky portion of the Huntington-
Ashland area is projected to decrease total VOC and NOX
emissions from the base year of 2002 to the maintenance year of 2020,
thus demonstrating continued attainment/maintenance of the 1997 8-hour
ozone standard.

                                                  Table 2--Lexington Area (Scott and Fayette Counties)
                                                            [VOC and NOX Emissions Inventory]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total VOC (tons per day).....................................        50.89        47.87        48.23        47.89        48.12        48.93        50.13
Total NOX (tons per day).....................................        39.33        32.66        29.85        25.77        21.15        17.97        15.98
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As shown in Table 2 above, the Lexington Area is projected to
decrease total NOX emissions from the base year of 2002 to
the maintenance year of 2020. Total VOC emissions steadily decrease
from the base year of 2002 through 2008, but are then projected to
increase by 1.2 tons per day between the years 2017 to the maintenance
year of 2020; however, year 2020 emissions are projected as less than
the baseline year emission level. Thus, it is demonstrated that the
1997 8-hour ozone standard will continue to be attainment/maintained.

                                                Table 3--Edmonson County VOC and NOX Emissions Inventory

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total VOC (tons per day).....................................         2.72         2.86         2.89         2.80         2.63         2.40         2.24
Total NOX (tons per day).....................................         1.34         1.17         1.09         0.95         0.80         0.68         0.61
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    As shown in Table 3 above, Edmonson County is projected to decrease
total VOC and NOX emissions from the base year of 2002 to
the maintenance year of 2020. VOC emissions increased slightly between
the base year of 2002 and 2011; however, this small spike is not
anticipated to affect maintenance. Total VOC's are projected to
decrease to levels below that of the base year by 2020, thus
demonstrating continued maintenance of the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.
    As shown in the tables above, Kentucky has demonstrated that the
future year emissions will be less than the 2002 base attainment year's
emissions for the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS. The attainment inventories
submitted by Kentucky for these areas are consistent with the criteria
discussed in the Wegman Memorandum. EPA finds that the future emissions
levels in 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017, and 2020 are expected to be
similar to or less than the emissions levels in 2002. In the event that
a future

8-hour ozone monitoring reading in theses areas is found to violate the
1997 8-hour ozone standard, the contingency plan section of the
maintenance plans includes measures that will be promptly implemented
to ensure that each of these areas returns the maintenance of the 1997
8-hour ozone standard. Please see section (d) Contingency Plan, below,
for additional information related to the contingency measures.
    b. Maintenance Demonstration. The primary purpose of a maintenance
plan is to demonstrate how an area will continue to remain in
compliance with the 1997 8-hour ozone standard for the 10 year period
following the effective date of designation as unclassifiable/
attainment. The end projection year for the maintenance plans for the
portion of Greenup County in the Huntington-Ashland Area, Lexington
Area and Edmonson County was 2020. As discussed in section (a)
Attainment Inventory above, Kentucky identified the level of ozone-
forming emissions that were consistent with attainment of the NAAQS for
ozone in 2002. Kentucky projected VOC and NOX emissions for
the years 2005, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2017 and 2020 in the Huntington-
Ashland Area, the Lexington Area and Edmonson County; and EPA finds
that the future emissions levels in those years are expected to be
similar or below the emissions levels in 2002.
    Kentucky's SIP revisions also rely on a combination of several air
quality measures that will provide for additional 8-hour ozone
emissions reductions in the Huntington-Ashland Area, Lexington Area,
and Edmonson County. These measures include the potential
implementation of the following, among others: (1) Federal motor
vehicle control program; (2) fleet turnover of automobiles; (3) federal
reformulated gasoline; (4) tier 2 motor vehicle emissions and fuel
standards; (5) heavy-duty gasoline and diesel highway vehicles
standard; (6) large nonroad diesel engines rule; (7) nonroad spark
ignition engines and recreational engines standard; (8) point source
emission reductions; (9) reasonably available control measures (RACM);
(10) maximum available control technology (MACT); (11) NOX
SIP Call; (12) Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) \3\, (13) several
control programs to reduce area source emissions from aerosol coatings,
architectural and industrial maintenance coatings, and commercial/
consumer products and (14) emissions standards for small and large
spark-ignition engines, locomotives and land based diesel engines.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \3\ Despite the legal status of CAIR as remanded, many
facilities have already or are continuing with plans to install
emission controls that may benefit Kentucky areas.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    c. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring. The Table below shows design
values for the Huntington-Ashland Area, Lexington Area and Edmonson
County. The ambient ozone monitoring data was collected at sites that
were selected with assistance from the EPA and are considered to be
representative of the area of highest concentration.
    With regard to the monitors, there is a monitor in Greenup County.
The Lexington area has two monitors in Fayette County (Ironworks and
Newton) and one in Scott County; however, the Scott County monitor was
discontinued in 2002. Edmonson County has one monitor. There were no
design values exceeding the 1997 0.08 ppm standard and it is
anticipated that the monitors will remain at current locations, unless
otherwise allowed to be removed in the consultation with the EPA and in
accordance with the 40 CFR part 58.

* Monitor discontinued in 2005.

    Based on the Table above, each of the available design values
indentified is considered to be in attainment of the 1997 ozone NAAQS
and demonstrates that the Kentucky areas subject to this action are
expected to continue attainment of the 1997 ozone NAAQS. In the event
that a design value at one of the Kentucky area monitoring sites
exceeds the 1997 ozone standard of 84 parts per billion, the
Contingency Plan included in the Kentucky's maintenance plan submittal
includes contingency measures which will be promptly implemented in
section (d) Contingency Plan, below.
    d. Contingency Plan. The section 110(a)(1) maintenance plans
include contingency provisions to promptly correct any violation of the
1997 ozone NAAQS that occurs. The contingency indicator for the
Huntington-Ashland Area, Lexington Area and Edmonson County,
maintenance plans is based on updates to the emission inventories. The
triggering mechanism for activation of contingency measures is a ten
percent or greater increase in emissions of either VOC or
NOX based on the 2002 emissions inventory. In these
maintenance plans, if contingency measures are triggered, Kentucky is
committing to implement the measures as expeditiously as practicable,
but no longer than nine months following the trigger. Some of the
contingency measures include: (1) Implementation of a program to
require additional emissions reductions on stationary sources; (2)
requirement of stage I vapor recovery; (3) requirement of stage II
vapor recovery; (4) further restrictions on open burning during summer
ozone season; (5) restriction of certain roads or lanes to, or
construction of such roads or lanes for use by, passenger buses or
high-occupancy vehicles; (6) trip-reduction ordinances; (7) employer
based transportation management plans, including incentives; (8)
programs to limit or restrict vehicle use in downtown areas, or other
areas of emissions concentration particularly during periods of peak
use; and (9) programs for new construction and major reconstructions of
paths or tracks for use by pedestrians or by non-motorized vehicles
when economically feasible and in the public interest.

    These contingency measures and schedules for implementation satisfy
EPA's guidance on the requirements of section 110(a)(1) of continued
attainment. Continued attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS in the
partial area of Greenup County in Huntington-Ashland Area, Lexington
Area and Edmonson County will depend, in part, on the air quality
measures discussed previously (see section II). In addition, Kentucky
commits to verifying the 1997 8-hour ozone status in each maintenance
plan through annual and periodic evaluations of the emissions
inventories. In the annual evaluations, Kentucky will review VOC and
NOX emission data from stationary point sources. During the
periodic evaluations (every three years), Kentucky will update the
emissions inventory for all emissions source categories, and compare
the updated emissions inventory data to the projected 2005, 2008, 2011,
2014, 2017 and 2020 attainment emissions inventories to verify
continued attainment of the 8-hour ozone standard.

III. Final Action

    Pursuant to section 110 of the Act, EPA is approving the
maintenance plans addressing the 1997 8-hour ozone standard for a
portion of Greenup County in the Huntington-Ashland Area, the Lexington
Area, and Edmonson County, which were submitted by Kentucky on May 27,
2008, and ensure continued attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS
through the year 2020. EPA has evaluated the Commonwealth's submittals
and has determined that they meet the applicable requirements of the
CAA and EPA regulations, and are consistent with EPA policy.
    EPA is publishing this rule without prior proposal because the
Agency views this as a non-controversial revision and anticipates no
adverse comments. However, in the proposed rules section of this
Federal Register publication, EPA is publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposal to approve the SIP revision should
adverse comment be filed. This rule will be effective on May 26, 2009
without further notice unless the Agency receives adverse comment by
April 24, 2009. If EPA receives such comments, then EPA will publish a
document withdrawing the final rule and informing the public that the
rule will not take effect. All public comments received will then be
addressed in a subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule. EPA
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time. If no such comments
are received, the public is advised this rule will be effective on May
26, 2009 and no further action will be taken on the proposed rule.

IV. 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, EPA's role is to approve state choices,
provided that they meet the criteria of the CAA. Accordingly, this
action merely approves Kentucky 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 Order
12866 (58 FR 51735, October 4, 1993);
     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 Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; 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).
    In addition, this rule does not have tribal implications as
specified by Executive Order 13175 (65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000),
because the SIP is not approved to apply in Indian country located in
the state, and EPA notes that it will not impose substantial direct
costs on tribal governments or preempt tribal law.
    The Congressional Review Act, 5 U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the
Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Fairness Act of 1996, generally
provides that before a rule may take effect, the agency promulgating
the rule must submit a rule report, which includes a copy of the rule,
to each House of the Congress and to the Comptroller General of the
United States. EPA will submit a report containing this action and
other required information to the U.S. Senate, the U.S. House of
Representatives, and the Comptroller General of the United States prior
to publication of the rule in the Federal Register. A major rule cannot
take effect until 60 days after it is published in the Federal
Register. This action is not a ``major rule'' as defined by 5 U.S.C.
804(2).
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the CAA, petitions for judicial review
of this action must be filed in the United States Court of Appeals for
the appropriate circuit by May 26, 2009. Filing a petition for
reconsideration by the Administrator of this final rule does not affect
the finality of this action for the purposes of judicial review nor
does it extend the time within which a petition for judicial review may
be filed, and shall not postpone the effectiveness of such rule or
action. Parties with objections to this direct final rule are
encouraged to file a comment in response to the parallel notice of
proposed rulemaking for this action published in the proposed rules
section of today's Federal Register, rather than file an immediate
petition for judicial review of this direct final rule, so that EPA can
withdraw this direct final rule and address the comment in the proposed
rulemaking. This action may not be challenged later in proceedings to
enforce its requirements. (See section 307(b)(2).)

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R07-OAR-2017-0268; FRL-9969-10--Region 7]

Approval of Missouri Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Infrastructure SIP Requirements for the 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide National
Ambient Air Quality Standard

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Direct final rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving
elements of a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision from the State
of Missouri for the 2010 Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) National
Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). Section 110 of the CAA requires
that each state adopt and submit a SIP for the implementation,
maintenance, and enforcement of each new or revised NAAQS promulgated
by EPA. These SIPs are commonly referred to as ``infrastructure'' SIPs.
The infrastructure requirements are designed to ensure that the
structural components of each state's air quality management program
are adequate to meet the state's responsibilities under the CAA.

DATES: This direct final rule will be effective December 11, 2017,
without further notice, unless EPA receives adverse comment by November
13, 2017. If EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a timely
withdrawal of the direct final rule in the Federal Register informing
the public that the rule will not take effect.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R07-
OAR-2017-0268, to https://www.regulations.gov. Follow the online
instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, comments cannot
be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. 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. EPA will
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of
the primary submission (i.e. on the web, cloud, or 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://www2.epa.gov/dockets/commenting-epa-dockets.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document ``we,'' ``us,'' and
``our'' refer to EPA. This section provides additional information by
addressing the following:

I. What is being addressed in this document?
II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?
III. What action is EPA taking?
IV. Statutory and Executive Order Reviews

I. What is being addressed in this document?

    EPA is approving the revision as meeting the submittal requirement
of section 110(a)(1). EPA is approving elements of the infrastructure
SIP submission from the State of Missouri received on April 30, 2013.
Specifically, EPA is approving the following elements of section
110(a)(2): (A) Through (H) (except (D)(i)(II)-protection of visibility
(prong 4)), and (J) through (M). EPA is not acting on section
110(a)(2)(I) as it does not expect infrastructure SIP submissions to
address the element. EPA will act on prong 4 in a separate action. A
Technical Support Document (TSD) is included in this docket to discuss
the details of this action, including analysis of how the SIP meets the
applicable 110 requirements for infrastructure SIPs.

II. Have the requirements for approval of a SIP revision been met?

    The state's submission has met the public notice requirements for
SIP submissions in accordance with 40 CFR 51.102. The state held a
public hearing on March 28, 2013 and a public comment period from
February 25, 2013 to April 4, 2013. EPA provided comments to the state
on April 3, 2013, and were the only commenters. The state revised its
proposed SIP in response to EPA's comments and the revisions were
contained in the SIP submitted to EPA on April 30, 2013. The submission
satisfied the completeness criteria of 40 CFR part 51, appendix V. As
explained in more detail in the TSD, which is part of this docket, the
revision meets the substantive SIP requirements of the CAA, including
section 110 and implementing regulations.

III. What action is EPA taking?

    EPA is taking direct final action to approve elements of the April
30, 2013, infrastructure SIP submission from the State of Missouri,
which addresses the requirements of CAA sections 110(a)(1) and (2) as
applicable to the 2010 NO2 NAAQS. As stated in above
preamble, EPA is approving the revision as meeting the submittal
requirement of section 110(a)(1) and approving the following elements
of section 110(a)(2): (A) Through (H) (except (D)(i)(II)-protection of
visibility (prong 4)), and (J) through (M). EPA is not acting on
section 110(a)(2)(I) as it does not expect infrastructure SIP
submissions to address the element. EPA will act on prong 4 in a
separate action.
    Section 110(a)(2)(I) requires that in the case of a plan or plan
revision for areas designated as nonattainment areas, states must meet
applicable requirements of part D of the CAA, relating to SIP
requirements for designated nonattainment areas. EPA does not expect
infrastructure SIP submissions to address element (I). The specific SIP
submissions for designated nonattainment areas, as required under CAA
title I, part D, are subject to different submission schedules than
those for section 110 infrastructure elements. EPA will take action on
part D attainment plan SIP submissions through a separate rulemaking
governed by the requirements for nonattainment areas, as described in
part D.
    We are publishing this direct final rule without a prior proposed
rule because we view this as a noncontroversial action and anticipate
no adverse comment. However, in the ``Proposed Rules'' section of this
issue of the Federal Register, we are publishing a separate document
that will serve as the proposed rule to approve the SIP revision if
adverse comments are received on this direct final rule. We will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting must do so at this time. For further
information about commenting on this rule, see the ADDRESSES section of
this document. If EPA receives adverse comment, we will publish a
timely withdrawal in the Federal Register informing the public that
this direct final rule will not take effect. We will address all public
comments in any subsequent final rule based on the proposed rule.

IV. 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, 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 Section 12(d) of the
National Technology Transfer and Advancement Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272
note) because application of those requirements would be inconsistent
with the CAA; 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).

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

I. Background

    As part of our Patient Focused Drug Development (PFDD) efforts, FDA
developed a pilot grant program to support the development of publicly
available standard core set(s) of COAs

and their related endpoints for specific disease indications. On
September 11, 2019, FDA made three awards under this grant program in
the areas of: (1) Migraine, (2) acute pain in infants and young
children, and (3) physical function across a range of chronic
conditions.
    The purpose of this public meeting is to ensure that, as these
standard core sets of clinical outcome assessments are developed, the
identified concepts, COAs, and endpoints reflect what is most important
and relevant to patients and support regulatory and potentially other
stakeholder decision making.
    COAs are often endpoints in clinical trials used to support drug
approval and labeling claims or other communications regarding clinical
benefit. Clinical benefit is defined as a positive clinically
meaningful effect of an intervention on how an individual feels,
functions, or survives. FDA uses COAs primarily to determine whether a
drug has been shown to provide clinical benefit to patients. The
severity of side effects or treatment burden can also be measured by
COAs.
    A standard core set of COAs can include different types of COAs
such as patient-reported outcome (PRO), clinician-reported outcome
(ClinRO), observer-reported outcome (ObsRO), and performance outcome
(PerfO) instruments and their related endpoints. These sets should
assess a minimum list of impacts that matter most to patients, are
likely to demonstrate change (including differences in trial arms
related to disease burden, treatment burden, and if applicable,
physical function), and should be assessed during a clinical trial. A
standard core set might be relevant across several disease populations
or subgroups or be focused on attributes of a specific disease.

II. Topics for Discussion at the Public Meeting

    This meeting will provide an opportunity for grantees funded as
part of the FDA Standard Core COAs and Endpoints Pilot Grant Program to
share their progress on the standard core COA sets and to receive
feedback from stakeholders.

SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

[File No. 500-1]

Green Energy Resources, Inc.; Order of Suspension of Trading

June 22, 2010.
    It appears to the Securities and Exchange Commission that there is
a lack of current and accurate information concerning the securities of
Green Energy Resources, Inc. (``Green Energy'') because of questions
regarding the accuracy of statements by Green Energy in press releases
concerning, among other things, the company's involvement in the Gulf
of Mexico oil spill cleanup effort.
    The Commission is of the opinion that the public interest and the
protection of investors require a suspension of trading in the
securities of Green Energy.
    Therefore, it is ordered, pursuant to Section 12(k) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that trading in the securities of the
above-listed company is suspended for the period from 9:30 a.m. EDT
June 22, 2010 through 11:59 p.m. EDT, on July 6, 2010.

    By the Commission.
Elizabeth M. Murphy,
Secretary.
