AGENCY 

40 CFR Part 52 

[EPA–R05–OAR–2010–0450; FRL–9182–3] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Minnesota 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

Minnesota’s request to amend its State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) for sulfur 

dioxide (SO2). 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 SO2 control 

requirements and will not result in an 

increase in SO2 emissions at the facility 

because no emission limits were 

increased.

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withdrawn and all public comments 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.

Approval and Promulgation of 

Implementation Plans and 

Designations of Areas for Air Quality 

Planning Purposes; Tennessee: 

Knoxville; Determination of Attainment 

for the 1997 8-Hour Ozone Standards 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: On February 19, 2010, the 

State of Tennessee, through the 

Tennessee Department of Environment 

and Conservation (TDEC), submitted a 

request to EPA to make a determination 

that the Knoxville, Tennessee 

nonattainment area has attained the 

1997 8-hour ozone national ambient air 

quality standards (NAAQS) based on 

quality assured, quality controlled 

monitoring data from 2007–2009. The 

Knoxville, Tennessee 1997 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area (hereafter referred to 

as the ‘‘Knoxville Area’’) is comprised of 

Anderson, Blount, Jefferson, Knox, 

Loudon and Sevier Counties in their 

entireties and a portion of Cocke County 

(Great Smoky Mountain National Park) 

in Tennessee. In this action, EPA is 

proposing to determine that the 

Knoxville Area has attained the 1997 8- 

hour ozone NAAQS. This proposed 

determination is based upon complete, 

quality assured, quality controlled, and 

certified ambient air monitoring data for 

the years 2007–2009 showing that the 

Knoxville Area has monitored 

attainment of the 1997 8-hour ozone 

NAAQS. Preliminary air quality 

monitoring data available for 2010 are 

consistent with continued attainment. If 

this proposed determination is made 

final, the requirement for the State of 

Tennessee to submit an attainment 

demonstration and associated 

reasonably available control measures 

(RACM), a reasonable further progress 

(RFP) plan, contingency measures, and 

other planning State Implementation 

Plans (SIPs) related to attainment of the 

1997 8-hour ozone NAAQS for the 

Knoxville, Tennessee 8-hour ozone 

nonattainment area, shall be suspended 

for as long as the Knoxville Area 

continues to meet the 1997 8-hour 

ozone NAAQS.
