Approval and Promulgation of State Implementation Plans; 
Minnesota

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking.

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

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.

DATES: Written comments must be received on or before June 17, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Robert Miller, Chief, 
Permits and Grants Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 
Illinois 60604.

final rule published in the rules section of this Federal Register.
