SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

supplemental information is organized 

as follows: 

A. What is the background information? 

B. What is the purpose of this Notice? 

A. What is the background 

information? 

The three engines are Caterpillar 

Model 3516B turbocharged engines, 

each having 16 cylinders. Each engine 

operates at a rated speed of 1,800 

revolutions per minute, produces shaft 

power of 2,593 brake horsepower, and 

drives a 1,825 kilowatt generator to 

produce electricity. When operating at 

capacity, each engine burns 

approximately 130.2 gallons per hour of 

diesel fuel with maximum sulfur 

content of 0.05%. The engines and 

facility are owned by Mille Lacs Band 

Corporate Commission doing business 

as Grand Casino Hinckley. 

EPA received an application for a 

Federal title V Permit on December 8, 

2005. On February 25, 2010, EPA made 

available for public comment a draft 

title V Permit (permit no. V–ML– 

2711500031–2010–01) and a draft 

modification of the PSD permit (permit 

no. PSD–ML–2711500031–2010–02). 

The title V permit incorporated all 

applicable air quality requirements for 

the engines, including the monitoring 

necessary to ensure compliance with 

these requirements. The draft 

modification of the PSD permit was 

issued because the facility, during the 

title V permit application process, 

requested a change to the PSD permit’s 

emissions testing frequency from every 

three years to every five years. EPA 

provided the public with 30 days to 

comment on the draft permits. EPA 

received comments on the title V permit 

from the permit applicant requesting 

minor, clarifying revisions to the permit 

and requesting removal of the initial 

performance testing requirement in light 

of the more stringent testing required by 

the National Emissions Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants, subpart 

ZZZZ. EPA made the minor, clarifying 

revisions and changed the initial 

performance testing requirement’s 

deadline from ‘‘within 180 days of 

issuance of this permit’’ to ‘‘upon 

request of the EPA,’’ which makes this 

term consistent with the PSD permit. 

EPA did not receive comments on the 

modification to the PSD permit. EPA 

finalized the permits and provided 

copies to the applicant pursuant to 40 

CFR 71.11(i). The final permits and 

EPA’s responses to public comments 

can be viewed online at http:// 

yosemite.epa.gov/r5/r5ard.nsf/

B. What is the purpose of this Notice? 

EPA is notifying the public of the 

issuance of the title V and PSD permits 

to Grand Casino Hinckley on December 

30, 2010. The permits became effective 

on January 29, 2011. 

Dated: February 14, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CASAC was 

established pursuant to the under the 

Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments of 

1977, codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409D(d)(2), 

to provide advice, information, and 

recommendations to the Administrator 

on the scientific and technical aspects of 

issues related to the criteria for air 

quality standards, research related to air 

quality, sources of air pollution, and the 

strategies to attain and maintain air 

quality standards and to prevent 

significant deterioration of air quality. 

The CASAC is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C., App. 2. Section 109(d)(1) of the 

CAA requires that the Agency 

periodically review and revise, as 

appropriate, the air quality criteria and 

the NAAQS for the six ‘‘criteria’’ air 

pollutants, including Ozone. As 

described in 75 FR 1381–1382, the 

CASAC Ozone Review Panel conducted 

scientific reviews of EPA’s scientific 

assessments of the health and welfare 

effects of Ozone and other 

Photochemical Oxidants from 2005 

through 2008. On September 16, 2009, 

EPA Administrator Lisa Jackson 

announced her decision to reconsider 

the March 12, 2008 primary and 

secondary Ozone NAAQS to ensure they 

are scientifically sound and protective 

of public health and the environment. 

EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation 

requested the Ozone Review Panel that 

conducted the 2005–2008 review to 

provide comments on EPA’s 2010 

proposed Ozone standards. 

This Panel (renamed ‘‘CASAC Ozone 

Review Panel for the Reconsideration of 

the 2008 NAAQS’’) held a public 

teleconference on January 25, 2010. A 

letter dated February 29, 2010 (EPA– 

CASAC 10–007), posted at http://

the EPA Administrator providing 

comment on the Administrator’s 

proposed Ozone NAAQS. 

As previously announced (76 FR 

4661–4662), the CASAC Panel has been 

asked to discuss its responses to 

additional charge questions regarding 

the Ozone reconsideration at the 

teleconferences on February 18, 2011 

and March 3, 2011. The purpose of the 

March 23, 2011 teleconference is for the 

Panel to continue its discussion of their 

advice on EPA’s reconsideration of the 

2008 Ozone NAAQS. 

Technical Contacts: Any technical 

questions concerning EPA’s charge 

questions may be directed to Susan 

Stone at stone.susan@epa.gov or (919) 

541–1146. 

Availability of Meeting Materials: The 

agenda, charge questions, public 

comments and any other meeting 

materials may be found posted at 

http://www.epa.gov/casac through the 

calendar link on the blue navigation bar. 

Procedures for Providing Public Input: 

Public comment for consideration by 

EPA’s Federal advisory committees and 

panels has a different purpose from 

public comment provided to EPA 

program offices. Therefore, the process 

for submitting comments to a Federal 

advisory committee is different from the 

process used to submit comments to an 

EPA program office. Federal advisory 

committees and panels, including 

scientific advisory committees, provide 

independent advice to EPA. Members of 

the public can submit comments for a 

Federal advisory committee to consider 

as it develops advice for EPA. They 

should send their comments directly to 

the Designated Federal Officer for the 

relevant advisory committee. Written 

statements for the meeting should be 

received in the SAB Staff Office by 

March 14, 2011 so that the information 

may be made available to the Panel for 

its consideration prior to this meeting. 

Written statements should be supplied 

to the DFO via e-mail, preferably as an 

Adobe Acrobat PDF file. 

Accessibility: For information on 

access or services for individuals with 

disabilities, please contact Dr. 

Stallworth at the phone number or email address noted above, preferably at 

least ten days prior to the meeting, to 

give EPA as much time as possible to 

process your request. 

Dated: February 22, 2011.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background: The CASAC was 

established pursuant to the Clean Air 

Act (CAA) Amendments of 1977, 

codified at 42 U.S.C. 7409D(d)(2), to 

provide advice, information, and 

recommendations to the Administrator 

on the scientific and technical aspects of 

issues related to the criteria for air 

quality standards, research related to air 

quality, sources of air pollution, and the 

strategies to attain and maintain air 

quality standards and to prevent 

significant deterioration of air quality. 

The CASAC is a Federal Advisory 

Committee chartered under the Federal 

Advisory Committee Act (FACA), 5 

U.S.C., App. 2. 

EPA is considering regulating the 

emissions of hazardous air pollutants 

(HAPs) released from coal-burning 

electric generating units in the United 

States (U.S. EGUs) under Section 

112(n)(1)(A) of the Clean Air Act (CAA). 

This regulation may potentially use a 

Maximally Achievable Control Device 

(MACT) approach to set a technologybased standard for reducing HAP 

emissions. EPA is developing a draft 

risk assessment for mercury, entitled 

Technical Support Document: NationalScale Mercury Risk Assessment. This 

draft assessment considers the nature 

and magnitude of the potential risk to 

public health posed by current U.S. 

EGU mercury emissions and the nature 

and magnitude of the potential risk 

posed by U.S. EGU mercury emissions 

in the future, once all anticipated CAArelated regulations potentially reducing 

mercury from U.S. EGUs are in place. 

EPA’s Office of Air and Radiation has 

requested CASAC review of this draft 

document. 

Request for Nominations: The SAB 

Staff Office is seeking nominations of 

nationally and internationally 

recognized experts with research 

experience and expertise in the 

following disciplines, particularly 

related to mercury: atmospheric fate, 

transport and modeling; aquatic fate, 

transport and modeling; 

bioaccumulation; human exposure; 

epidemiology; toxicology, including 

reproductive and neurotoxicology, 

biostatistics, and risk assessment. 

EPA Contact for Background 

Information Pertaining to This Review: 

For questions concerning the 

development of EPA’s mercury 

assessment, please contact Dr. Zachary 

Pekar at (919) 541–3704 or
