SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing for

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,

final action in the notice of permits and permit

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the notice of permits and permit modifications will be withdrawn and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