Summary

In this document the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve revisions to the Minnesota's State Implementation Plan (SIP) permitting program by addressing portions of Minnesota's Rules Parts 7007 and 7011. Under the current federally mandated permitting programs, applicability is based on a sources potential to emit, and sources with the potential to emit in major amounts are subject to these programs. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, EPA is approving the State's request as a direct final rule without prior proposal because EPA views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for approving and disapproving portions of the State's request is set forth in the direct final rule. The direct final rule will become effective without further notice unless the Agency receives relevant adverse written comment. Should the Agency receive such comment, it will publish a document informing the public that the direct final rule will not take effect and such public comment received will be addressed in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. If no adverse comments are received, the direct final rule will take effect on the date stated in that document and no further activity will be taken on this proposed rule. EPA does not plan to institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this document should do so at this time.
