**Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans; MN** 

**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 (SO 2). The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency submitted the SIP revision request to EPA on November 23, 2009, and supplemented it on March 3, 2010. The approval of this request would revise SIP requirements applicable to Saint Mary’s Hospital, located in Rochester, Minnesota by adding a 2500 kilowatt (KW) reciprocating internal combustion engine (RICE) electric generator and reducing the allowable diesel fuel sulfur content for two existing RICE electric generators. The revision also includes administrative changes in the identification of emissions units. These revisions are included in a joint Title I/ Title V document for Saint Mary’s Hospital, which would replace the document currently approved into the SIP for the facility. These revisions will result in reducing the SO 2 impact in the Rochester area, and strengthening the existing SO 2 SIP.

**DATES :**  Comments must be received on or before September 13, 2010.

**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 If EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule.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

The EPA and the State of Arkansas, through the Arkansas Department of Environmental Quality (ADEQ), have determined that all appropriate response actions under CERCLA, other than operation and maintenance and five-year reviews, have been completed.

**Endangered and Threatened Wildlife and Plants; Removing the Tennessee**  **Purple Coneflower From the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened**  **Plants**

**AGENCY :**  Fish and Wildlife Service, Interior.

**ACTION :**  Proposed rule; availability of draft post-delisting monitoring plan.

**SUMMARY :**  Under the authority of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended (Act), we, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service), propose to remove the plant Echinacea tennesseensis (Tennessee purple coneflower) from the Federal List of Endangered and Threatened Plants due to recovery. This action is based on a thorough review of the best available scientific and commercial data, which indicate that this species’ status has improved to the point that E. tennesseensis is not likely to become endangered within the foreseeable future throughout all or a significant portion of its range. Our review of the status of this species shows that all of the threats to the species have been eliminated or significantly reduced, adequate regulatory mechanisms exist, and populations are stable. We also announce the availability of the draft post-delisting monitoring plan. This proposed rule completes the 5-year status review for the species, initiated on September 21, 2007.

**DATES :**  To ensure that we are able to consider your comments on this proposed rule, they must be received or postmarked on or before October 12, 2010. We must receive requests for public hearings, in writing, at the address shown in the **FOR FURTHER**
