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 30 days after the date of this notice or 30 days

be considered, except those pertaining to standard provisions under 40
CFR 72.9 or issues not relevant to the permit or the permit
modification.

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.

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the notice of permits and permit modifications will be withdrawn and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.

and permit modifications, see the information provided in the notice of
permits and permit modifications elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
