ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

40 CFR Part 52

[EPA-R05-OAR-2021-0411; FRL-9547-01-R5]


Air Plan Approval; Minnesota; Bulk Silos FESOP Update

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Proposed rule.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to 
approve a site-specific revision to the Minnesota State Implementation 
Plan (SIP) for particulate matter less than 10 microns 
(PM10) for the portland cement distribution terminal owned 
and operated by Bulk Silos, LLC (Bulk Silos), formerly known as Lafarge 
North America Corporation on Childs Road Terminal (Lafarge-Childs Road 
Terminal) located in Saint Paul, Ramsey County, Minnesota. In its June 
16, 2021, submittal, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) 
requested that EPA approve certain conditions contained in Bulk Silos' 
federally enforceable state operating permit (FESOP) into the Minnesota 
PM SIP. The request is approvable because it satisfies the requirements 
of the Clean Air Act (CAA). MPCA's submission included an updated 
modeling demonstration to show the construction changes incorporated in 
the Title I SIP Conditions will not interfere with the ability to 
maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), as Bulk 
Silos' allowable PM10 emissions limits will be decreased 
with this action.

DATES: Comments must be received on or before May 9, 2022.

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, identified by Docket ID No. EPA-R05-
OAR-2021-0411 at http://www.regulations.gov, or via email to

the online instructions for submitting comments. Once submitted, 
comments cannot be edited or removed from Regulations.gov. For either 
manner of submission, EPA may publish any comment received to its 
public docket. Do not submit electronically any information you 
consider to be Confidential Business Information (CBI) or other 
information whose disclosure is restricted by statute. Multimedia 
submissions (audio, video, etc.) must be accompanied by a written 
comment. The written comment is considered the official comment and 
should include discussion of all points you wish to make. EPA will 
generally not consider comments or comment contents located outside of 
the primary submission (i.e., on the web, cloud, or other file sharing 
system). For additional submission methods, please contact the person

facility closures due to COVID-19.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the Final Rules section of this Federal 
Register, EPA is approving the State's SIP submittal as a direct final 
rule without prior proposal because the Agency 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 relevant adverse comments are received in response to this 
rule, no further activity is contemplated. If EPA receives such 
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: March 31, 2022.
