AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to
approve a revision to the Minnesota sulfur dioxide (SO2)
State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ELT Minneapolis, LLC's River Road
Industrial Center located in Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota. The
revision, submitted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on
February 24, 2016, updates information updates information to reflect
both administrative and equipment changes at the facility. The name of
the facility has changed to BAE Technology Center. The revision will
result in a significant decrease in SO2 emissions and will

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving Minnesota's SO2 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 EPA does not receive adverse comments in response
to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives
adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and will
address all public comments received 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
can 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.
