Approval and Promulgation of State Plans for Designated 
Facilities and Pollutants; Minnesota; Municipal Waste Combustor State 
Plan Submittal

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes to approve 
the Minnesota State Plan submittal for implementing the Emission 
Guidelines for Large Municipal Waste Combustors (MWCs). The State's 
plan submittal was made pursuant to requirements found in the Clean Air 
Act (CAA). The State's plan was submitted to EPA on April 28, 1998 in 
accordance with the requirements for adoption and submittal of State 
plans for designated facilities in 40 CFR part 60, subpart B. It 
establishes performance standards for existing large MWCs and provides 
for the implementation and enforcement of those standards. The EPA 
finds that Minnesota's Plan for existing large MWCs adequately 
addresses all of the Federal requirements applicable to such plans. In 
the final rules of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving this 
action as a direct final without prior proposal because EPA views this 
as a noncontroversial action and anticipates no adverse comments. 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 
EPA receives adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn 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. The EPA will not institute a 
second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in 
commenting on this action should do so at this time.

DATES: Comments must be received by September 11, 1998.

ADDRESSES: Written comments should be sent to: Carlton T. Nash, Chief, 
Regulation Development Section, Air Programs Branch (AR-18J), EPA, 
Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604-3590.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: For additional information, see the Direct 
Final rule which is located in the Rules section of this Federal 
Register. Copies of the request and the EPA's analysis are available 
for inspection at the following address: (Please telephone Douglas 
Aburano at [phone] before visiting the Region 5 office.) EPA, 
Region 5, Air and Radiation Division, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, 
Chicago, Illinois 60604-3590.

    Dated: July 23, 1998.
