Acid Rain Program: Draft Nitrogen Oxide Compliance Plans
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of draft compliance plans and public comment period.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is issuing for
comment nitrogen oxides (NOX) compliance plans, which amend
previously issued final Phase I Acid Rain Permits, for 10 utility units
at 3 plants in accordance with the Acid Rain Program regulations (40
CFR parts 72 and 76).
DATES: Comments on draft NOX compliance plans must be received no
later than September 18, 1995 or 30 days after the publication date of
a similar notice in local newspapers.
ADDRESSES: Administrative records. The administrative record for the
NOX compliance plans, except information protected as
confidential, may be viewed during normal operating hours at the
following locations: EPA Region 7 Library, 726 Minnesota Ave., Kansas
City, KS 66101 or St. Louis County Air Pollution Control, 111 South
Meramec, Clayton, MO, 63105 or Missouri Dept. of Natural Resources,
Jefferson State Office Building, Jefferson City, MO 65102.
Comments. Send comments to the following address: William A.
Spratlin, Director, Air and Toxics Division, EPA Region 7 (address
above). Submit comments in duplicate and identify the NOX
compliance plan 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(s) covered by the compliance plan. All timely comments will be
considered, except comments on aspects of the permit other than the
NOX compliance plan and comments not relevant to the compliance
plan.
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.
