ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
[FRL-6147-8]
Acid Rain Program: Draft Permit Modification
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of draft permit modification.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing for
comment a draft permit modification revising the early election plan
for the Rockport plant in Indiana in accordance with the Acid Rain
Program regulations (40 CFR parts 72 and 76). Because the Agency does
not anticipate receiving adverse comments, the permit modification is
also being issued as a direct final action in the notice of permit
modification published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
DATES: Comments on the draft permit modification, and any request for
public hearing, must be received no later than September 18, 1998 or 30
days after the date of publication of a similar notice in a local
newspaper, whichever is later.
ADDRESSES: Administrative Record. The administrative record for the
permit, except information protected as confidential, may be viewed
during normal operating hours at EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson Blvd.,
Chicago, IL, 60604.
Comments. Send comments, requests for public hearings, and requests
to receive notices of future actions to EPA Region 5, Air and Radiation
Division, Attn: Cecilia Mijares (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 draft 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 concerning the draft permit modification.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Cecilia Mijares (312) 886-0968.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no significant, adverse comments are
timely received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to
this draft permit modification, and the permit modification issued as a
direct final action in the notice of permit modification 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 the draft permit modification, the permit
modification in the notice of permit modification will be withdrawn and
public comment received based on this notice of draft permit
modification will be addressed in a subsequent notice of permit
modification. Because the Agency will not institute a second comment
period on this notice of draft permit modification, any parties
interested in commenting should do so during this comment period.
For further information, see the information provided in the notice
of permit modification published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.
Dated: August 11, 1998.

Director, Acid Rain Division,
Office of Atmospheric Programs, Office of Air and Radiation.
