ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2010-0450; FRL-9182-3]


Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; 
Minnesota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve Minnesota's request to amend its 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) for sulfur dioxide (SO2). 
The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency submitted the SIP revision 
request to EPA on May 7, 2010. The proposed approval revises the 
Minnesota SIP by updating information regarding the heat and steam 
distributor facility located in Fridley, Minnesota. The source, 
formerly operated as United Defense, LP, Inc. was sold and is now 
operating as ELT Minneapolis, LLC. The revision replaces the joint 
Title I/Title V document currently approved in the SIP for the facility 
to reflect the change in ownership. These revisions do not change any 
of the SO2 control requirements and will not result in an 
increase in SO2 emissions at the facility because no 
emission limits were increased.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before September 2, 2010.

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 EPA 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received 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: July 19, 2010.
