ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-5445-2]
Acid Rain Program: Notice of Draft Written Exemptions
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of draft written exemptions.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is issuing draft
written exemptions from Acid Rain permitting and monitoring
requirements to 11 utility units at 5 plants in accordance with the
Acid Rain Program regulations (40 CFR part 72). Because the Agency does
not anticipate receiving adverse comments, the exemptions are also
being issued as a direct final action in the notice of written
exemptions published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
DATES: Comments on the exemptions proposed by this action must be
received on or before April 22, 1996 or 30 days after publication of a
similar notice in a local newspaper.
ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the
exemptions, except information protected as confidential, may be viewed
during normal operating hours at the following locations: For plants in
New York: EPA Region 2, 290 Broadway, New York, NY 10007-1866; for
plants in Texas: EPA Region 6, First Interstate Bank Tower, 1445 Ross
Avenue, Dallas, TX, 75202-2733; and for plants in Kansas and Missouri:
EPA Region 7, 726 Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, KS, 66101.
Comments. Send comments to: For plants in New York, Conrad Simon,
Director, Air and Waste Management Division, EPA Region 2, (address
above); for plants in Texas, Samuel Coleman, P.E., Director, Compliance
Assurance and Enforcement Division, EPA Region 6, (address above); and
for plants in Kansas and Missouri, William Spratlin, Director, Air and
Toxics Division, EPA Region 7, (address above).
Submit comments in duplicate and identify the exemption 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 the unit covered by the exemption.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For plants in New York, Gerry
DeGaetano, 212-637-4020; for plants in Texas, Dan Meyer, 214-665-7233,
and for plants in Kansas and Missouri, Lisa Hanlon, 913-551-7599.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no significant, adverse comments are
timely received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to
these draft written exemptions and the exemptions issued as a direct
final action in the notice of written exemptions 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 exemption, that exemption in the notice of written
exemptions will be withdrawn and all public comment received on that
exemption based on the relevant exemption in this notice of draft
written exemptions. Because the Agency will not institute a second
comment period on this notice of draft written exemptions, any parties
interested in commenting should do so during this comment period.
For further information and a detailed description of the
exemptions, see the information provided in the notice of written
exemptions elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
Dated: March 19, 1996.
Brian J. McLean,
Director, Acid Rain Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs, Office of
Air and Radiation.
