ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[MN81-7306b; FRL-7494-1]


Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Minnesota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: We are proposing to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) 
revision for Dakota County, Minnesota, for the control of emissions of 
sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the Pine Bend Area of Rosemount. The 
site-specific SIP revision for Flint Hills Resources, L.P. (formerly 
known as Koch Petroleum Group, L.P.), was submitted by the Minnesota 
Pollution Control Agency on March 13, 2003, and is approvable because 
it satisfies the requirements of the Clean Air Act. Specifically, EPA 
is proposing to approve into the SO2 SIP Amendment No. 6 to 
the Administrative Order for Flint Hills Resources. In the final rules 
section of this Federal Register, we are 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 proposed 
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withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a 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: Written comments must be received on or before July 7, 2003.

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 
Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson 
Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 353-8328.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the Direct 
Final Notice which is located in the Rules section of this Federal 
Register. Copies of the request and the EPA's analysis are available 
for inspection at the above address. (Please telephone Christos Panos
