ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5693-2]
Acid Rain Program: Draft Permits and Permit Modifications
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of draft permits and permit modifications.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing for
comment draft Phase I Acid Rain permits and 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
permits and permit modifications are also being issued as a direct
final action in the notice of permits and permit modifications
published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
DATES: Comments on the draft permits and permit modifications must be
received no later than March 26, 1997 or 30 days after the date of
publication of a similar notice in a local newspaper, whichever is
later.
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
Connecticut, EPA Region 1, JFK Building, One Congress Street, Boston,
MA, 02203; for plants in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, EPA
Region 7, 726 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, KS, 66101; and for plants in
Oregon, EPA Region 10, 1200 Sixth Avenue (AT-082), Seattle, Washington,
98101.
Comments. Send comments, requests for public hearings, and requests
to receive notices of future actions to: for plants in Connecticut, EPA
Region 1, Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, Attn: Ian
Cohen (address above); for plants in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and
Nebraska, EPA Region 7, Air, RCRA, and Toxics Division, Attn: Jon
Knodel (address above); and for plants in Oregon, EPA Region 10, Air
and Toxics Division, Attn: Joan Cabreza (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 or 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 Connecticut, call Ian
Cohen, (617) 565-3568; for plants in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and
Nebraska, call Jon Knodel, (913) 551-7622; and for plants in Oregon,
call Joan Cabreza (206) 553-8505.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no significant, adverse comments are
timely received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to
these draft permits and draft permit modifications and the permits and
permit modifications issued as a direct final action in the notice of
permits and 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 or permit modification, that permit or permit modification in
the notice of permits and permit modifications will be withdrawn and
public comment received on that permit or permit modification based on
this notice of draft permits and permit modifications will be addressed
in a subseqent notice of permit or permit modification. Because the
Agency will not institute a second comment period on this notice of
draft permits and permit modifications, any parties interested in
commenting should do so during this comment period.
For further information and a detailed description of the permits
and permit modifications, see the information provided in the notice of
permits and permit modifications elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
Dated: February 14, 1997.
Brian J. McLean,
Director, Acid Rain Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs, Office of
Air and Radiation.
