Air Plan Approval; Missouri; Attainment Plan for the New Madrid Nonattainment Area for the 2010 1-Hour Sulfur Dioxide National Ambient Air Quality Standard

Resumo

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve the State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision, submitted by the State of Missouri, on May 3, 2023. This revision pertains to the attainment plan for the New Madrid nonattainment area for the 2010 1- hour sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ) primary National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS). This plan (herein called an "attainment plan") includes the State's attainment demonstration and other elements required under Clean Air Act (CAA). In addition to an attainment demonstration, the plan addresses emission limitations necessary to provide for attainment, base-year and projection-year emission inventories, reasonably available control measures and reasonably available control technology (RACM/RACT), nonattainment new source review (NNSR), the requirements for meeting reasonable further progress (RFP) toward attainment of the NAAQS, and contingency measures. The EPA is proposing to approve Missouri's submission as meeting these relevant CAA requirements. This action is being taken pursuant to the CAA.
