Acid Rain NOX Emission Reduction Program--Permit
Modification for Alternative Emission Limitation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of permit modification adopting Alternative Emission
Limitation.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: Under Title IV of the Clean Air Act, EPA established the Acid
Rain NOX Emission Reduction Program to reduce the adverse
effects of acidic deposition. EPA adopted nitrogen oxides (
NOX) emission limits and issued permits to affected sources.
EPA is issuing Acid Rain permit modifications for two units at a
source. Each permit modification adds a new NOX emission
limitation, i.e., Alternative Emission Limitation for

[[Page 1125]]

 NOX emissions to the permit for the source. The Alternative
Emission Limitations are less stringent than the standard limit for
this type of unit but are the minimum rate that the units can achieve
during long-term dispatch operation with low NOX burners.

ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the
permit modification, except information protected as confidential, may
be viewed during normal operating hours at the following location: EPA
Region 3, 1650 Arch Street 14th floor, Philadelphia, PA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda Miller, EPA Region 3, (215) 814-
2068.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In today's action, EPA is issuing permit
modifications that add to a permit Alternative Emission Limitations for
NOX emissions for two units in accordance with Parts 72 and
76 of the Acid Rain Program regulations. The units involved, Morgantown
Units 1 and 2, are located in Charles County, Maryland and will be
required to meet an annual average emissions limit for NOX
of 0.63 lb/mmBtu and 0.64 lb/mmBtu, respectively, instead of the
otherwise applicable standard limit of 0.45 lb/mmBtu. The units'
designated representative is James S. Potts.
