Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plan; Minnesota

The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposes full approval of Minnesota's 1993 carbon monoxide (CO) emission inventory. The inventory was submitted by the State of Minnesota to satisfy a certain Federal requirement that those States containing CO nonattainment areas (NAA's) classified moderate and serious to submit a revised emission inventory (i.e., from the 1990 base year inventory) at the end of each 3 year period thereafter, until the area is redesignated to attainment, of actual CO season emissions from all sources in accordance with EPA guidance. In the final rules section of this Federal Register, the EPA is approving these actions as a direct final rule without prior proposal because EPA views these actions as noncontroversial 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 that direct final rule, no further activity is contemplated in relation to this proposed rule. If EPA receives substantive adverse comments which have not already been responded to, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public comments received will be address
