[EPA-R05-OAR-2006-1023; FRL-8464-9]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Minnesota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a site specific revision to the 
Minnesota State Implementation Plan (SIP) for particulate matter less 
than 10 microns (PM-10) for Lafarge North America Corporation 
(Lafarge), Childs Road Terminal located in Saint Paul, Ramsey County, 
Minnesota. In its December 18, 2006, submittal, the Minnesota Pollution 
Control Agency (MPCA) requested that EPA approve Lafarge's federally 
enforceable state operating permit into the Minnesota PM SIP, and to 
revoke the previously approved Administrative Order for Lafarge from 
the PM-10 SIP.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before October 11, 2007.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a 
noncontroversial submittal 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 this rule, no 
further activity is contemplated. If EPA 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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. EPA will not institute a second comment period. Any parties 
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time. 
Please note that if EPA receives adverse comment on an amendment, 
paragraph, or section of this rule and if that provision may be severed 
from the remainder of the rule, EPA may adopt as final those provisions 
of the rule that are not the subject of an adverse comment. For 
additional information, see the direct final rule which is located in 
the Rules section of this Federal Register.

    Dated: August 29, 2007.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
