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withdrawn and all public comments 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 Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; 

Minnesota 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a site specific revision to the Minnesota 

sulfur dioxide (SO 2) State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) for the 

Rochester Public Utility’s Cascade Creek 

Generating Facility (Cascade Creek), 

located in the city of Rochester, Olmsted 

County, Minnesota. On March 5, 2008, 

the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency 

(MPCA) requested that EPA approve 

certain portions of a joint Title I/Title V 

document into the Minnesota SO 2 SIP 

for the Cascade Creek facility. This SIP 

revision includes the addition of two 

new oil and gas fired turbines and 

modification of the starter engine on the 

No. 1 turbine. This SIP revision will 

show reduced emissions of SO 2 from 

this facility and the SO 2 National 

Ambient Air Quality Standards will be 

maintained in the area. Because the SO 2

emission limits are being reduced, the 

air quality of Olmsted County will be 

protected.
