Abstract
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking final action to approve a revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP) for the State of Missouri. This final action will amend the SIP to revise a Missouri regulation that restricts emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from industrial surface coating operations in St. Louis City and Jefferson, St. Charles, Franklin, and St. Louis Counties in Missouri. Specifically, the revisions to the rule add a new surface coating category for the decorative coating of foam products, establish an appropriate emission limit for this type of surface coating operation, remove obsolete provisions that were applicable prior to March 1, 2012, remove a reference to a rule that is being rescinded, remove restrictive words, add definitions specific to this rule, change rule language to be consistent with defined terms, and update incorporations by reference. The new emission limit for decorative coating of foam products is SIP strengthening and will not adversely impact the air quality in the St. Louis area. The remaining revisions are administrative in nature and do not impact the stringency of the SIP or air quality. The EPA's approval of this rule revision is in accordance with the requirements of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
