[FRL-5614-2]
Standards of Performance for New Stationary Sources Rescission of
Alternate Opacity Standard for Omaha Public Power District--Nebraska
City Power Station, Nebraska City, Nebraska
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: This rule would rescind the alternate opacity emission limit
established for the Nebraska City Power Station in Nebraska City,
Nebraska, owned and operated by Omaha Public Power District (OPPD),
pursuant to the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) under the Clean
Air Act. In the final rules section of the Federal Register, the EPA is
promulgating this revision as a direct final rule without prior
proposal because the Agency views this as a noncontroversial revision
and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rational for the
approval is set forth in the direct final rule. If no adverse comments
are received in response to this proposed rule, no further activity is
contemplated in relation to this rule. If the EPA receives adverse
comments, the direct final rule will be withdrawn and all public
comments received will then be addressed in a subsequent final rule
based on this action serving as a proposed rule. The EPA will not
institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties
interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
Commenters should also indicate whether they wish to request a
public hearing on this action, including the reasons for the request
and the nature of the comments which would be presented at any public
hearing. If a hearing is requested, the EPA will determine whether to
hold a public hearing, and will announce the time and location of any
hearing in a subsequent Federal Register document.
DATES: Comments and requests for public hearing must be submitted on or
before October 24, 1996.
ADDRESSES: Written comments on this action should be addressed to
Angela Ludwig, Air Permits and Compliance Branch, Environmental
Protection Agency, Region VII, 726 Minnesota Avenue, Kansas City,
Kansas 66101. Comments should be strictly limited to the subject matter

Docket: Pursuant to sections 307(d)(1)(C) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C.
