    Acid Rain Program: Draft Permits and Permit Modification
    
    AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
    
    ACTION: Notice of draft permits and permit modification.
    
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing for 
    comment two draft, 5-year Phase I Acid Rain Permits including sulfur 
    dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxides (NOX) compliance plans and 
    one draft modification to the SO2 compliance plan of a previously 
    issued final Phase I Acid Rain Permit in accordance with the Acid Rain 
    Program regulations (40 CFR parts 72 and 76).
    
    DATES: Comments on the draft permits and modification must be received 
    no later than October 17, 1994 or the date of publication of a similar 
    notice in a local newspaper.
    
    ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the 
    permits, except information protected as confidential, may be viewed 
    during normal operating hours at EPA Region 7, 726 Minnesota Ave., 
    Kansas City, KS 66101.
        Comments. Send comments, requests for public hearings, and requests 
    to receive notice of future actions to EPA Region 7, Air and Toxics 
    Division, Attn: Jon Knodel (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 permit or the 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 affecting an SO2 or NOX compliance plan.
    
    FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Call Jon Knodel, (913) 551-7622.
    
    SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title IV of the Clean Air Act directs EPA to 
    establish a program to reduce the adverse effects of acidic deposition 
    by promulgating rules and issuing permits to emission sources subject 
    to the program. On January 11, 1993, EPA promulgated final rules 
    implementing the SO2 portion of the program. Subsequently, several 
    parties filed petitions for review of the rules with the U.S. Court of 
    Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. On May 4, 1994, EPA and 
    other parties signed a settlement agreement addressing the substitution 
    and reduced utilization issues. In today's action, EPA is issuing to 
    the following utility plants draft permits and a draft permit 
    modification that propose to allocate SO2 emission allowances and 
    approve SO2 compliance plans, consistent with the May 4, 1994 
    settlement and that propose to approve NOX compliance plans under 
    40 CFR part 76:
        La Cygne in Kansas: 23,489 substitution allowances for each year 
    1995-1999 to unit 1; 12,682 substitution allowances for each year 1995-
    1999 to unit 2; two substitution plans, each for 1995-1999, in which 
    Montrose units 1, 2, and 3 designate either unit 1 or unit 2 as a 
    substitution unit; one NOX compliance plan for 1995-1999 in which 
    unit 2 will comply with the standard emission limitation of 0.50 lb/
    MMBtu.
        Iatan in Missouri: 14,479 substitution allowances for each year 
    1995-1999 to unit 1; one substitution plan for 1995-1999 in which 
    Montrose units 1, 2, and 3 designate unit 1 as a substitution unit; one 
    NOX compliance plan for 1995-1999 in which unit 1 will comply with 
    the standard emission limitation of 0.50 lbs/MMBtu.
        Montrose in Missouri: three substitution plans, each for 1995-1999, 
    in which units 1, 2, and 3 designate either La Cygne unit 1, La Cygne 
    unit 2, or Iatan unit 1 as a substitution unit.
    
        Dated: September 12, 1994.

    Director, Acid Rain Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs, Office of
