ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5924-1]
Acid Rain Program: Draft Permit Modifications
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of draft permit modifications.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing for
comment draft Phase I Acid Rain permit modifications including nitrogen
oxides (NOX) compliance plans in accordance with the Acid
Rain Program regulations (40 CFR parts 72 and 76). Because the Agency
does not anticipate receiving adverse comments, the permit
modifications are also being issued as a direct final action in the
notice of permit modifications published elsewhere in today's Federal
Register.
DATES: Comments on the draft permit modifications must be received by
December 18, 1997, or the date of publication of a similar notice in a
local newspaper.
ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the
permits, except information protected as confidential, may be viewed
during normal operating hours at the following locations: for plants in
Maryland, Pennsylvania, or West Virginia, EPA Region 3, 841 Chestnut
Building, Philadelphia, PA, 19107; for plants in Florida, Georgia,
Kentucky, and Mississippi, EPA Region 4, 100 Alabama Street, SW,
Atlanta, GA, 30303.
Comments. Send comments, requests for public hearings, and requests
to receive notices of future actions to: for plants in Maryland,
Pennsylvania, or West Viriginia, EPA Region 3, Air, Radiation, and
Toxics Division, Attn: Linda Miller (address above); for plants in
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and Mississippi, EPA Region 4, Air,
Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, Attn: Scott Davis (address
above). Submit comments in duplicate and identify the permit to which
the comments apply, the commenter's name, address, and telephone
number, and the commenter's interest in the matter and affiliation, if
any, to the owners and operators of all units in the plan. All timely
comments will be considered, except those pertaining to standard
provisions under 40 CFR 72.9 or issues not relevant to the permit
modification.
Hearings. To request a public hearing, state the issues proposed to
be raised in the hearing. EPA may schedule a hearing if EPA finds that
it will contribute to the decision-making process by clarifying
significant issues affecting a NOX compliance plan.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For plants in Maryland, Pennsylvania,
or West Viriginia, call Linda Miller, (215) 566-2068; for plants in
Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, and Mississippi, call Scott Davis, (404)
562-9127.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no significant, adverse comments are
timely received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to
these draft permit modifications and the permit modifications issued as
a direct final action in the notice of permit modifications published
elsewhere in today's Federal Register will automatically become final
on the date specified in that notice. If significant, adverse comments
are timely received on any permit modification, that permit
modification in the notice of permit modifications will be withdrawn
and public comment received on that permit modification based on this
notice of draft permit modifications will be addressed in a subsequent
notice of permit modification. Because the Agency will not institute a
second comment period on this notice of draft permit modifications, any
parties interested in commenting should do so during this comment
period.
For further information and a detailed description of the permit
modifications, see the information provided in the notice of permit
modifications elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
Dated: November 12, 1997.
Janice K. Wagner,
Acting Director, Acid Rain Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs,
Office of Air and Radiation.
