[EPA–R09–OAR–2009–0598; FRL–8964–2] 

Assessment of Anticipated Visibility 

Improvements at Surrounding Class I 

Areas and Cost Effectiveness of Best 

Available Retrofit Technology for Four 

Corners Power Plant and Navajo 

Generating Station: Advanced Notice 

of Proposed Rulemaking 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of extension of comment 

period. 

SUMMARY: EPA is announcing an 

extension of the public comment period 

on our Advanced Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking (ANPR) regarding our 

assessment of anticipated visibility 

improvements at surrounding Class I 

areas and the cost effectiveness of Best 

Available Retrofit Technology (BART) 

for Four Corners Power Plant and 

Navajo Generating Station (August 28, 

2009). Through this notice, EPA extends 

the close of the ANPR comment period 

from September 28, 2009 until October 

28, 2009. 

EPA is extending the comment period 

as a result of requests from the Hopi 

Tribe and the Navajo Nation for 

additional time to comment on the 

ANPR. EPA is granting the requests 

from the Hopi Tribe and the Navajo 

Nation notwithstanding the earlier 

denials by EPA of several extension 

requests made by other stakeholders. 

The basis for those earlier denials is that 

the ANPR is not a rulemaking action 

and therefore does not make any 

decisions or propose any control 

options as BART. Additionally, the 

ANPR is limited in scope and focused 

only on variables that were used to 

model visibility improvement at the 

surrounding Class I areas and the cost 

effectiveness of different control 

options. Therefore, EPA determined that 

a 30-day comment period in advance of 

our actual proposal was adequate, as the 

ANPR by itself only seeks the submittal 

of information. However, because the 

Hopi Tribe and the Navajo Nation are 

affected tribes located in the area 

impacted by the Navajo Generating 

Station and Four Corners Power Plant, 

EPA is extending the comment period to 

provide greater opportunity for 

discussion between EPA and affected 

Tribes. EPA is also extending the public 

comment period for all other interested 

parties. 

Although the Hopi Tribe and the 

Navajo Nation requested a longer 

extension period, EPA believes a 30-day 

extension is sufficient, as there will be 

ample additional opportunity to provide 

comments once we propose our BART 

determinations for the Four Corners 

Power Plant and Navajo Generating 

Station in the near future. 

DATES: The comment period for the 

Advanced Notice of Proposed 

Rulemaking published at 74 FR 44313, 

August 28, 2009 is extended. Comments 

must be received on or before October 

28, 2009.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

NMFS manages the U.S. groundfish 

fisheries in the Exclusive Economic 

Zone (EEZ) of the Bering Sea and 

Aleutian Islands Management Area 

(BSAI) and Gulf of Alaska (GOA) under 

the FMP for Groundfish of the BSAI and 

the FMP for Groundfish of the GOA, 

respectively. The North Pacific Fishery 

Management Council (Council) 

prepared these FMPs pursuant to the 

Magnuson-Stevens Fishery 

Conservation and Management Act 

(MSA), 16 U.S.C. 1851–1891d. 

Regulations implementing the FMPs 

appear at 50 CFR part 679. General 

regulations that pertain to U.S. fisheries 

appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600. 

The Observer Program provides the 

administrative framework for observers 

to obtain information necessary for the 

conservation and management of the 

groundfish fisheries managed under the 

FMPs. Regulations implementing the 

Observer Program at § 679.50 require 

observer coverage aboard catcher 

vessels, catcher/processors, 

motherships, and shoreside and 

stationary floating processors that 

participate in the groundfish fisheries 

off Alaska. These regulations also 

establish vessel, processor, and observer 

provider responsibilities relating to the 

Observer Program.
