ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
40 CFR Part 52
[MN66-01-7291b; FRL-7206-4]
Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Minnesota
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: We are proposing to approve a site-specific revision to the
Minnesota Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) State Implementation Plan
(SIP) for Marathon Ashland Petroleum, LLC (Marathon Ashland), located
in the cities of St. Paul Park and Newport, Washington County,
Minnesota. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency requested in their
February 6, 2000, submittal that EPA approve into the Minnesota
SO2 SIP certain portions of the Title V permit for Marathon
Ashland and remove the Marathon Ashland Administrative Order from the
state SO2 SIP. The request is approvable because it
satisfies the requirements of the Clean Air Act. Specifically, we are
proposing to approve into the SIP only those portions of the permit
cited as ``Title I condition: SIP for SO2 NAAQS 40 CFR pt.
50 and Minnesota State Implementation Plan (SIP).'' In addition, we are
proposing to remove the Marathon Ashland Administrative Order from the
state SO2 SIP. In the final rules section of the Federal
Register, we are approving the SIP revision as a direct final rule
without prior proposal, because we view this as a noncontroversial
revision amendment and anticipate 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 proposed rule, no
further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If
we receive adverse comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn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. We 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: Written comments must be received on or before June 19, 2002.
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.
