[EPA–R05–OAR–2010–0035; FRL–9187–6] 

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 (SO2). 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 SO2 impact in the 

Rochester area, and strengthening the 

existing SO2 SIP.

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withdrawn and all public comments 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.

Priorities List: Intent To Delete the 

Rogers Road Municipal Landfill 

Superfund Site 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency. 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Region 6 is issuing a 

Notice of Intent to Delete the Rogers 

Road Municipal Landfill Superfund Site 

located near Jacksonville, Pulaski 

County, Arkansas from the National 

Priorities List (NPL) and requests public 

comments on this proposed action. The 

NPL, promulgated pursuant to Section 

105 of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act

appendix of the National Oil and 

Hazardous Substances Pollution 

Contingency Plan (NCP). 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. However, this 

deletion does not preclude future 

actions under Superfund.

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

INFORMATION CONTACT section, by 

September 27, 2010.

by one of the following methods:
