    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.
