On August 29, 2008, Equitrans, L.P.

2009, after its second response, 

Equitrans filed a motion for a technical 

conference to clarify and resolve issues 

raised by Commission Staff in the data 

requests before Commission Staff makes 

a recommendation to the Commission.

ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION 

AGENCY 

[Petition IV–2003–2; FRL–8769–3] 

Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petition for Objection to 

State Operating Permit for 

Thoroughbred Generating Company, 

LLC—Thoroughbred Generating 

Station; Central City (Muhlenberg 

County), KY 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition 

to object to a state operating permit. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Clean Air Act 

section 505(b)(2) and 40 CFR 70.8(d), 

the EPA Administrator signed an Order, 

dated January 8, 2009, denying a 

petition to object to a state operating 

permit issued by the Kentucky Division 

for Air Quality (KDAQ) to 

Thoroughbred Generating Company, 

LLC—Thoroughbred Generating Station 

(TGS) located near Central City, 

Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. This 

Order constitutes final action on the 

petition submitted by the Natural 

Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, 

Valley Watch, the National Parks 

Conservation Association, the Ohio 

Valley Environmental Coalition, and 

Elizabeth and Hannah Crowe 

(Petitioners) on January 24, 2003. 

Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the 

Clean Air Act (the Act), any person may 

seek judicial review of the Order in the 

United States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit within 60 days of 

this notice under section 307(b) of the 

Act. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the final Order, 

the petition, and all pertinent 

information relating thereto are on file 

at the following location: EPA Region 4, 

Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management 

Division, 61 Forsyth Street, SW., 

Atlanta, Georgia 30303–8960. The final 

Order is also available electronically at 

the following address: http:// 

www.epa.gov/region7/programs/artd/ 

air/title5/petitiondb/petitions/ 

thoroughbred_decision2003.pdf. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Art 

Hofmeister, Air Permits Section, EPA 

Region 4, at (404) 562–9115 or 

hofmeister.art@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and, as appropriate, to object to 

operating permits proposed by state 

permitting authorities under title V of 

the Act, 42 U.S.C. 7661–7661f. Section 

505(b)(2) of the Act and 40 CFR 70.8(d) 

authorize any person to petition the 

EPA Administrator to object to a title V 

operating permit within 60 days after 

the expiration of EPA’s 45-day review 

period if EPA has not objected on its 

own initiative. Petitions 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 these issues 

during the comment period or the 

grounds for the issues arose after this 

period. 

Petitioners submitted a petition on 

January 24, 2003, requesting that EPA 

object to a state title V operating permit 

issued by KDAQ to TGS. However, on 

December 15, 2008, Thoroughbred 

Generating Company relinquished the 

permit at issue in the petition. 

Therefore, on January 8, 2009, the 

Administrator issued an Order denying 

the petition as moot since no permit 

about which EPA could object existed. 

The Order further explains EPA’s 

rationale for denying the petition. 

Dated: January 20, 2009. 

J.I. Palmer, Jr., 

Regional Administrator, Region 4.
