Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans and Designation of Area for Air Quality Planning Purposes: Minnesota

60 FR 28377

DATE: Wednesday, May 31, 1995
ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to approve the request for redesignation to attainment for particulate matter (PM) in Olmsted County and sulfur dioxide (SO2) in the Air Quality Control Region (AQCR) 131 Twin Cities and Pine Bend areas (excluding the St. Paul Park area). In addition, USEPA proposes to approve a State Implementation Plan (SIP) revision to the administrative order for PM for Rochester Public Utilities, located in Rochester, Minnesota. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) submitted the proposed SIP revision and redesignation requests on September 7, 1994. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, USEPA is approving the SIP revision and requests to redesignation as a direct final rule because the Agency views this 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 this proposed rule. If USEPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The USEPA will not institute a second comment period on this notice.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule must be received on or before June 30, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be mailed 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.

Copies of the State submittal and USEPA's analysis are available for public inspection during normal business hours at the following address: United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Air and Radiation Division, 77 West Jackson Boulevard (AR-17J), Chicago, Illinois 60604.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Randy Robinson, Air Enforcement Branch, Regulation Development Section (AE-17J) United States Environmental Protection Agency, Region 5, Chicago, Illinois 60604, (312) 353-6713.
