to a submitted risk assessment to inform 

Agency scientists in evaluating 

assessments. This includes evaluating 

the applicability of the data and 

methods used in the assessment, and 

the soundness of the conclusions. 

Develop and enhance risk assessment 

methods and tools which includes: 

Investigating and developing new 

assessment methods and tools, 

developing, evaluating and 

recommending improvements to 

existing tools and methods, or 

investigating issues related to the risk 

assessment process to include literature 

searches and preparation of options and 

other recommendations. This 

procurement will also provide 

additional support to EPA in 

investigating science policy issues 

related to probabilistic risk assessments 

and the development of science issues 

and problems associated with assessing 

pesticide data or risk. The contractor 

may develop policy options for 

evaluation and consideration by EPA. 

Upon request, the contractor shall 

organize workshops to facilitate 

gathering scientific input and 

discussion on issues related to specific 

chemicals, groups of chemicals, or 

generic risk exposure and risk 

assessment issues. The contractor will 

organize and facilitate the meetings, 

organize materials in preparation for the 

meetings, take notes, gather the 

comments and presentations, organize 

and distribute notes and summaries 

from the meetings, and develop

to be used. Occasionally the project 

officer will request that the contractor 

search open literature and collect and 

aggregate extant monitoring data or 

additional information to support an 

assessment. The material will be 

provided in printed form (originals or 

reprints of each study) and/or electronic 

form. Due dates for each data package 

and/or assessment and/or project shall 

be negotiated between the project officer

Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Objection to State Operating 

Permit for U.S. Steel–Granite City 

Works 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition 

to object to Clean Air Act operating 

permit. 

SUMMARY: This document announces 

that the EPA Administrator partially 

granted and partially denied a petition 

from the Interdisciplinary 

Environmental Clinic at the Washington 

University School of Law submitted to 

EPA on behalf of the American Bottom 

Conservancy (Petitioner) to object to the 

operating permit issued by the Illinois 

Environmental Protection Agency to the 

U.S. Steel—Granite City Works (USS). 

Sections 307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the 

Clean Air Act (Act) provide that a 

petitioner may ask for judicial review in 

the United States Court of Appeals for 

the appropriate circuit of those portions 

of the petition which EPA denies. Any 

petition for review shall be filed within 

60 days from the date this notice 

appears in the Federal Register, 

pursuant to section 307 of the Act. 

ADDRESSES: You may review copies of 

the final order, the petition, and other 

supporting information at the EPA 

Region 5 Office, 77 West Jackson 

Boulevard, Chicago, Illinois 60604. If 

you wish to examine these documents, 

you should make an appointment with 

Genevieve Damico at least 24 hours 

before visiting the Region 5 offices. 

Additionally, the final order for the USS 

petition is available electronically at:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Genevieve Damico, Acting Chief, Air 

Permits Section, Air Programs Branch, 

Air and Radiation Division, EPA, Region 

5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, Chicago, 

Illinois 60604, (312)353–4761. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review, 

and object, as appropriate, to Title V 

operating permits proposed by State 

permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) 

of the Act authorizes any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator within 

60 days after the expiration of the EPA 

review period to object to a Title V 

operating permit if EPA has not done so. 

A petition must be based only on 

objections to the permit that were raised 

with reasonable specificity during the 

public comment period provided by the 

State, unless the petitioner demonstrates 

that it was impracticable to raise issues 

during the comment period, or the 

grounds for the issues arose after this 

period. 

On October 1, 2009, the Petitioner 

submitted a petition requesting that EPA 

object to the USS Title V permit 

pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the Act 

and 40 CFR 70.8(d). Petitioner alleged 

that (1) the permit fails to include all 

applicable permits and permit 

requirements; (2) the permit fails to 

provide periodic monitoring sufficient 

to assure compliance; (3) the permit 

lacks compliance schedules to remedy 

all current violations; (4) the permit 

unlawfully exempts emissions during 

startup, shutdown, and malfunctions; 

(5) the permit fails to include 

compliance assurance monitoring 

requirements; and (6) numerous permit 

provisions are not practically 

enforceable. 

On January 28, 2011, the 

Administrator issued an order partially 

granting and partially denying the 

petition. The order explains the reasons 

behind EPA’s conclusion. 

Dated: February 28, 2011.

Notice of Issuance of Federal 

Operating Permit to Great Lakes Gas 

Transmission Limited Partnership 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This notice announces that, 

on January, 28, 2011, pursuant to Title 

V of the Clean Air Act, EPA issued a 

Title V Permit to Operate (Title V 

permit) to Great Lakes Gas Transmission 

Limited Partnership (Great Lakes Gas). 

This permit authorizes Great Lakes Gas 

to operate three natural gas-fired 

turbine/compressors and one natural 

gas-fired standby electrical generator at 

Compressor Station #5 (CS#5) in 

Cloquet, Minnesota. CS#5, which is 

located on privately-owned fee land 

within the exterior boundaries of the 

Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior 

Chippewa Indian Reservation, adds 

pressure to natural gas in Great Lakes’ 

pipeline, causing the natural gas to flow 

to the next compressor station. 

DATES: EPA did not receive any 

comments during the public comment 

period, which ended December 15, 

2010. The final permit became effective 

on February 27, 2011. 

ADDRESSES: The final signed permit is 

available for public inspection online at 

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

Tribal+Permits!OpenView, or during 

normal business hours at the following 

address: EPA, Region 5, 77 West Jackson 

Boulevard (AR–18J), Chicago, Illinois 

60604. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Genevieve Damico, Environmental 

Engineer, EPA, Region 5, 77 West 

Jackson Boulevard (AR–18J), Chicago, 

Illinois 60604, (312)353–4761, or 

damico.genevieve@epa.gov. 

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? 

Great Lakes Gas operates nearly 2,000 

miles of large diameter underground 

pipeline, which transports natural gas 

for delivery to customers in the 

midwestern and northeastern United 

States and eastern Canada. The Great 

Lakes Gas pipeline system and other 

interstate natural gas transmission 

pipelines make up the long-distance 

link between natural gas production 

fields, local distribution companies, and 

end users. The pipeline’s 14 compressor 

stations, located approximately 75 miles 

apart, operate to keep natural gas 

moving through the system. 

Compressors at these stations add 

pressure to natural gas in the pipeline, 

causing it to flow to the next compressor 

station. The pipeline normally operates 

continuously, but at varying load, 24 

hours per day and 365 days per year. 

CS#5 currently consists of three 

stationary natural gas-fired turbines, 

which in turn drive two natural gas 

compressors. Additionally, one natural 

gas-fired standby electrical generator 

provides electrical power for critical 

operations during temporary electrical 

power outages and during peak loading.
