Air Plan Approval; Minnesota; Sulfur Dioxide

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve a revision to the Minnesota sulfur dioxide (SO2) 
State Implementation Plan (SIP) for ELT Minneapolis, LLC's River Road 
Industrial Center located in Fridley, Anoka County, Minnesota. The 
revision, submitted by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency on 
February 24, 2016, updates information updates information to reflect 
both administrative and equipment changes at the facility. The name of 
the facility has changed to BAE Technology Center. The revision will 
result in a significant decrease in SO2 emissions and will 
support the continued attainment and maintenance of the SO2 
national ambient air quality standard in the Twin Cities area.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving Minnesota's SO2 SIP submittal as 
a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency 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 EPA does not receive adverse comments in response 
to this rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives 
adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and will 
address all public comments received 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 
can 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.
