ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[EPA-R05-OAR-2008-0786; FRL-8907-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Air Quality Implementation Plans;
Minnesota
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve a request submitted by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) on October 9, 2008, to revise
the Minnesota State Implementation Plan (SIP) for particulate matter
less than 10 microns (PM10). The proposed approval revises
the Minnesota SIP by updating information regarding the steel mini-mill
facility located at 1678 Red Rock Road, St. Paul, Minnesota. It
acknowledges the change of ownership and operation of the source from
North Star Steel Company to Gerdau Ameristeel US, Inc. The revision
also amends the SIP by removing the Administrative Order issued to
North Star Steel Company, and replacing the SIP conditions from the
Administrative Order and placing those SIP requirements in a joint
Title I/Title V document for Gerdau Ameristeel US, Inc. These revisions
will not result in an increase in PM10 emissions because no
emission limits were increased.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Rules section of this Federal
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final
rule without prior proposal because EPA 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 no adverse comments are received in response to this rule, no
further activity is contemplated. 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direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received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.
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 may 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.
Dated: May 5, 2009.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
