ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52

[MN29-1-6203b; FRL-5174-8]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Minnesota

AGENCY: United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: USEPA proposes to approve updated air permitting regulations 
that Minnesota submitted on November 23, 1993. USEPA further proposes 
to authorize Minnesota to issue federally enforceable State operating 
permits (FESOPs) under these regulations, and submit properly noticed 
permits as SIP revision requests. In addition, USEPA proposes to find 
that the updated regulations continue to satisfy new source review 
permitting requirements.
    In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the USEPA is 
approving Minnesota's updated permitting regulations as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal, because USEPA views the action as 
noncontroversial 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 the proposal of that 
action. If USEPA receives adverse public 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rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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. USEPA 
will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments on this action must be received by June 1, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be addressed 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: John Summerhays, Air Enforcement 
Branch, Regulation Development Section (AE-17J), United States 
Environmental Protection, Region 5, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 886-
6067.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Supplementary information is provided in the 
rules section of this Federal Register.

    Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401-7671q.

    Dated: March 8, 1995.

Acting Regional Administrator.
