65394 Federal Register / Vol. 69, No. 218 / Friday, November 12, 2004 / Proposed Rules 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

final rules section of the Federal 

Register, EPA is approving the state’s 

revision to the state implementation 

plan as a direct final rule without prior 

proposal because the Agency views this 

as a noncontroversial revision 

amendment and anticipates no relevant 

adverse comments to this action. A 

detailed rationale for the approval is set 

forth in the direct final rule. If no 

relevant adverse comments are received 

in response to this action, no further 

activity is contemplated in relation to 

this action. If EPA receives relevant 

adverse comments, the direct final rule 

will be withdrawn and all public 

comments received will be addressed in 

a subsequent final rule based on this 

proposed action. 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. 

Please note that if EPA receives adverse 

comment on part of this rule and if that 

part can be severed from the remainder 

of the rule, EPA may adopt as final 

those parts of the rule that are not the 

subject of an adverse comment. For 

additional information, see the direct 

final rule which is located in the rules 

section of this Federal Register.

Dated: November 1, 2004.

Edwards Station

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to approve 

a July 29, 2003, site-specific sulfur 

dioxide (SO2) SIP revision request for 

the Central Illinois Light Company’s 

Edwards Generating Station in Peoria 

County, Illinois. Illinois’ requested SIP 

revision makes permanent a variance to 

the SO2 SIP which EPA approved on 

April 13, 2000. EPA is proposing to 

approve the SIP revision request. 

In the final rules section of this 

Federal Register, EPA is approving the 

SIP revision as a direct final rule 

without prior proposal, because EPA 

views this as a noncontroversial 

revision and anticipate no adverse 

comments. A detailed rationale 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 proposed rule. If EPA 

receives adverse comments, the direct 

final rule will be withdrawn and all 

public comments received will be 

addressed in a subsequent final rule 

based on this proposed rule. 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.

DATES: Written comments must be 

received on or before December 13, 

2004.

Corresponding Direct Final Rule?

I. General Information 

A. Does This Action Apply to Me? 

This action applies to a single source, 

CILCO Edwards Generating Station, in 

Peoria County, IL. 

B. What Should I Consider as I Prepare 

My Comments for EPA? 

1. Submitting CBI. Do not submit 

Confidential Business Information (CBI) 

to EPA through Regional Material in 

EDocket (RME), regulations.gov or email. Clearly mark the part or all of the 

information that you claim to be CBI. 

For CBI information in a disk or CD 

ROM that you mail to EPA, mark the 

outside of the disk or CD ROM as CBI 

and then identify electronically within 

the disk or CD ROM the specific 

information that is claimed as CBI. In 

addition to one complete version of the 

comment that includes information 

claimed as CBI, a copy of the comment 

that does not contain the information 

claimed as CBI must be submitted for 

inclusion in the public docket. 

Information so marked will not be 

disclosed except in accordance with 

procedures set forth in 40 CFR part 2. 

2. Tips for Preparing Your Comments.

When submitting comments, remember 

to: 

a. Identify the rulemaking by docket 

number and other identifying 

information (subject heading, Federal 

Register date and page number). 

b. Follow directions—The agency may 

ask you to respond to specific questions 

or organize comments by referencing a 

Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 

or section number. 

c. Explain why you agree or disagree; 

suggest alternatives and substitute 

language for your requested changes. 

d. Describe any assumptions and 

provide any technical information and/

or data that you used. 

e. If you estimate potential costs or 

burdens, explain how you arrived at 

your estimate in sufficient detail to 

allow for it to be reproduced. 

f. Provide specific examples to 

illustrate your concerns, and suggest 

alternatives. 

g. Explain your views as clearly as 

possible, avoiding the use of profanity 

or personal threats. 

h. Make sure to submit your 

comments by the comment period 

deadline identified. 

II. What Action Is EPA Taking Today? 

On July 29, 2003, Illinois submitted a 

site-specific sulfur dioxide (SO2) State 

Implementation Plan (SIP) revision 

request for the Central Illinois Light 

Company’s Edwards Generating Station 

in Peoria County, Illinois (CILCO 

Edwards). This revision request sets 

forth SO2 emission limits for CILCO 

Edwards’ three boilers. These limits are 

identical to the emission limits within 

an earlier temporary SIP revision which 

EPA approved on April 13, 2000 (65 FR 

19838). Therefore, EPA is proposing to 

approve the July 29, 2003, permanent 

SIP revision request. 

III. Where Can I Find More Information 

About This Proposal and the 

Corresponding Direct Final Rule?

Direct Final Rule which is located in the 

Rules section of this Federal Register.

BILLING CODE 6560–50–P

COMMITTEE FOR PURCHASE FROM 

PEOPLE WHO ARE BLIND OR 

SEVERELY DISABLED 

41 CFR Parts 51–2, 51–3, and 51–4 

[Docket No. 2004–01–01] 

RIN 3037–AA00 

Governance Standards for Central 

Nonprofit Agencies and Nonprofit 

Agencies Participating in the JavitsWagner-O’Day Program

AGENCY: Committee for Purchase From 

People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled.

ACTION: Notice of proposed rulemaking; 

request for comments. 

SUMMARY: The Committee for Purchase 

From People Who Are Blind or Severely 

Disabled (The Committee), which is 

responsible for administering and 

overseeing the implementation of the 

Javits-Wagner-O’Day (JWOD) Act, 

proposes to amend its regulations by 

requiring nonprofit agencies awarded 

Government contracts under the 

authority of the JWOD Act, as well as 

central nonprofit agencies designated by 

the Committee and nonprofit agencies 

that would like to qualify for 

participation in the JWOD Program, to 

comply with new governance standards. 

The proposed governance standards are 

primarily based on standards that are 

common practice in nonprofit and 

business communities. These new 

standards would include, among other 

things, standards concerning the 

practices of boards of directors and the 

reasonableness of executive and other 

employee compensation. Recent 

accounts alleging, and public concern 

regarding, isolated instances of 

excessive compensation packages for 

nonprofit agency executives; a 

perceived lack of full disclosure in the 

financial reporting of nonprofit 

agencies; and the absence of formal 

guidelines to establish independent 

boards of directors for JWOD-affiliated 

central nonprofit agencies and nonprofit 

agencies prompted this proposed 

change. If fully implemented, this 

change would help promote sound 

governance procedures for central 

nonprofit agencies and nonprofit 

agencies participating in the JWOD 

Program, help ensure the effective and 

transparent administration of 

Government contract funds, and 

continue to maintain a high level of 

public support for the JWOD Program’s 

employment mission.
