ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Parts 52 and 81

[MN-36-1-6752b; FRL-5020-2]


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

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

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, [[Page 28378]] 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final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be 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.

Randy Robinson, Air Enforcement Branch, Regulation Development Section
