[FRL-5278-6] 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 NOXcompliance 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 NOXcompliance 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 NOXcompliance 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 NOXcompliance plan. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jon Knodel, (913) 551-7622, EPA Region 7. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA proposes to approve NOXaveraging plans under which units will comply with the applicable emission limitations under 40 CFR 76.10, for the following utility plants: Region 7 Labadie in Missouri: units 1, 2, 3, and 4 will each comply with a NOXaveraging plan for 1996-1999.
