Rule
Summary
The EPA just gave a thumbs-up to Missouri’s updated rules for handling petroleum liquids in the Kansas City area. These changes tidy up the language and add clear definitions but don’t make the rules any tougher or easier. Businesses involved in storing, loading, or transferring petroleum should note these updates, which keep air quality safe without extra costs or delays.
Analyzed Economic Effects
2 provisions identified: 2 benefits, 0 costs, 0 mixed.
Air Quality Protections Remain Intact
The EPA found that Missouri's revisions for petroleum storage, loading, and transfer in the Kansas City metropolitan area do not have an adverse effect on air quality. That means existing air pollution controls and protections in that area remain in place after the approved edits.
Missouri SIP Edits Affect Petroleum Firms
The EPA approved revisions to Missouri's State Implementation Plan for controlling emissions from petroleum liquid storage, loading, and transfer in the Kansas City metropolitan area. The changes add definitions, incorporate other state rules, and remove duplicative or overly restrictive wording. EPA says these revisions do not change the SIP's stringency and do not impose extra costs or delays on businesses.
