ACTION: Proposed rule. AGENCY: EPA is proposing to approve Minnesota’s request to amend its State Implementation Plan (SIP) for sulfur dioxide (SO2). The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency submitted the SIP revision request to EPA on May 7, 2010. The proposed approval revises the Minnesota SIP by updating information regarding the heat and steam distributor facility located in Fridley, Minnesota. The source, formerly operated as United Defense, LP, Inc. was sold and is now operating as ELT Minneapolis, LLC. The revision replaces the joint Title I/Title V document currently approved in the SIP for the facility to reflect the change in ownership. These revisions do not change any of the SO2 control requirements and will not result in an increase in SO2 emissions at the facility because no emission limits were increased.
