DOCUMENT ID: [R05-OAR-2004-MN-0001, FRL-7794-6]

NOTICE: PROPOSED RULES

ACTION: Air quality implementation plans; approval and promulgation; various States:

DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUBJECT CATEGORY: Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; Minnesota; Sulfur Dioxide; United Defense

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before September 17, 2004.

DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The EPA is proposing to approve a revision to Minnesota's State Implementation Plan (SIP) for Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) for the United Defense, LP facility located in Anoka County at 4800 East River Road, Fridley, Minnesota. This revision replaces the Administrative Order, originally issued
[[Page 51216]]
to the facility on May 27, 1992, with a Title V permit containing non expiring Title I SIP conditions, issued on November 25, 2002. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) submitted this SIP revision on December 19, 2002. In the Final Rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the state's SIP revision, as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If EPA receives no adverse comments in response to that direct final rule, EPA plans to take no further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives significant adverse comments, in writing, which EPA has not addressed, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and address all public comments received in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this document. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.

SUMMARY: Minnesota,
