ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[MN25-1-6002b, MN27-1-6093b; FRL-5083-3]

 

Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation 
of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes; Minnesota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to approve the Lead State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) revision and redesignation request submitted by the State of 
Minnesota for the area of Dakota County near the Gopher Smelting and 
Refining Company, located in Eagan, Minnesota. The submittal was in 
response to a designation to nonattainment, effective on January 6, 
1992, and consists primarily of an administrative order and associated 
technical support, along with ambient monitoring data, for the Gopher 
facility. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, USEPA is 
approving the State's SIP revision and redesignation request, as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this 
as a noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipates no adverse 
comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the 
direct final rule. If no adverse comments are received in response to 
that direct final rule no further activity is contemplated in relation 
to this proposed rule. If USEPA receives 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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 rule. The 
USEPA will not institute a second comment period on this notice.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before 
November 17, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed to: William L. MacDowell, 
Chief, Regulation Development Section, Air Enforcement Branch (AE-17J), 
United States Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604.
    Copies of the State submittal and USEPA's analysis are available 
for public inspection during normal business hours at the following 
address: United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Air 
and Radiation Division, 77 West Jackson Boulevard (AE-17J), Chicago, 
Illinois 50504.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Randy Robinson, Air Enforcement 
Branch, Regulation Development Section (AE-17J), United States 
Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Chicago, Illinois 60604,

final rule published in the rules section of the Federal Register.

    Dated: September 20, 1994.
