ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MN60-01-7285b; FRL-6703-2]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Minnesota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are proposing to approve a site specific revision to the 
Minnesota particulate matter (PM) State Implementation Plan (SIP) for 
LTV Steel Mining Company, formerly known as Erie Mining Company, 
located in St. Louis County, Minnesota. In its submittal, the State has 
requested that we remove the Stipulation Agreement for Erie Mining 
Company from the Minnesota SIP. In the final rules section of this 
Federal Register, we are conditionally approving the SIP revision as a 
direct final rule without prior proposal, because we view this as a 
noncontroversial revision amendment and anticipate 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 this rule, no 
further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If 
we receive adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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. We 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 must be received by June 21, 2000.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Carlton T. Nash, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), EPA 
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604-3590.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Christos Panos, Regulation Development
