Summary

EPA is proposing to approve Minnesota's request to amend its State Implementation Plan (SIP) for sulfur dioxide (SO ² ). 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 SO ² control requirements and will not result in an increase in SO ² 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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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. Susan Hedman, Regional Administrator, Region 5.
