ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R05-OAR-2009-0369; FRL-9125-4]
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 (PM10) for Aggregate Industries Yard A
Facility in Saint Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. On May 19, 2009, the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency requested that EPA approve certain
portions of a joint Title I/Title V document into the Minnesota
PM10 SIP for this facility. The State is also requesting in
this submittal that EPA rescind the Administrative Order issued to J.L.
Shiely Company which is currently included in Minnesota's SIP for
PM10. The emissions units previously owned by J.L. Shiely
Company are now owned by Aggregate Industries. Because the
PM10 emission limits are being reduced, the air quality of
Ramsey County will be protected.
DATES: Comments must be received on or before April 12, 2010.

OAR-2009-0369, by one of the following methods:

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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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: February 25, 2010.
