[MN20–2–6751b; FRL–5140–3]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plans for Air Quality

Planning Purposes; Minnesota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to

approve the sulfur dioxide (SO2) State

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision for

the St. Paul Park area of Air Quality

Control Region 131. The Minnesota

Pollution Control Agency (MPCA)

submitted a proposed SIP revision for

SO2 for the St. Paul Park area on

December 11, 1992, in response to

modeled violations of the SO2 National

Ambient Air Quality Standards

(NAAQS). The submittal included an

administrative order for the Ashland

Petroleum Company-St. Paul Park

Refinery, in addition to dispersion

modeling and technical support

intended show that the limits are

sufficient to attain and maintain the

NAAQS for SO2. A subsequent SIP

revision, containing an amended

administrative order for Ashland

Petroleum Company and additional

technical support, was submitted on

September 30, 1994. In the Final Rules

Section of this Federal Register, USEPA

is approving the State’s SIP revision as

a direct final rule because the Agency

views this as a noncontroversial

revision amendment and anticipates no

adverse comments. Additionally, a

notice of proposed disapproval of the

SIP revision was published on

September 2, 1994 (59 FR 54653). In

that document, it was specifically stated

that if the issues identified within were

satisfactorily addressed in the allotted

time and if no other substantive, adverse

comments were received, USEPA would

proceed with a direct final approval. No

comments were received on the

proposed rulemaking. A detailed

rationale for the approval is set forth in

the direct final rule. If no adverse

comments are received in response to

that direct final rule no further activity

is contemplated in relation to this

proposed rule. If USEPA 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will be withdrawn and all public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. The USEPA will not

institute a second comment period on

this notice.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received on or before February

17, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should

be mailed to: William L. MacDowell,

Chief, Regulation Development Section,

40 CFR Part 52

[WI33–01–5764b; FRL–5135–3]

Approval and Promulgation of

Implementation Plan for Wisconsin

AGENCY: United States Environmental

Protection Agency (USEPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

SUMMARY: The USEPA proposes to

approve the State Implementation Plan

(SIP) revision submitted by the State of

Wisconsin for the purposes of meeting

requirements of the Clean Air Act (ACT)

with regard to new source review in

areas that have not attained the national

ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).

This action also proposes approval of

Wisconsin’s Operating Permits rule as

satisfying USEPA’s criteria regarding

Federal enforceability. In the Final

Rules section of this Federal Register,

USEPA is approving these SIP revisions

as direct final rules without prior

proposal because the Agency views

them as noncontroversial revision

amendments 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 proposed

rule, no further activity is contemplated

in relation to this rule. If USEPA

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. USEPA

will not institute a second comment

period on this action. Any parties

interested in commenting on this action

should do so at this time. Adverse

comments received concerning a

specific rulemaking area, will only

affect the final rule as it pertains to that

area and only the portion of the final

rule concerning the area receiving

adverse comments will be withdrawn.

DATES: Comments on this proposed rule

must be received in writing by February

17, 1995.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on this

action should be addressed to: Carlton

Nash, Chief, Regulation Development

Section, Air Toxics and Radiation

Branch, United States Environmental

Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson

Boulevard (AT–18J), Chicago, Illinois
