Federal Register / Vol. 74, No. 190 / Friday, October 2, 2009 / Notices 50963 

without demand to the Administrator 

based on the number of excess tons 

emitted times $2,000 as adjusted by an 

annual adjustment factor, which must 

be published in the Federal Register. 

The annual adjustment factor for 

adjusting the penalty for excess 

emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen 

oxides under 40 CFR 77.6(b) for 

compliance year 2009 is 1.7583. This 

value is derived using the CPI for 1990 

and 2009 (defined respectively at 40 

CFR 72.2 as the CPI for August of the 

year before the specified year for all 

urban consumers) and results in an 

automatic penalty of $3,517 per excess 

ton of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides 

emitted for 2009. 

The annual adjustment factor for 

adjusting the penalty for such excess 

emissions under 40 CFR 77.6(b) for 

compliance year 2010 is 1.7322. This 

value is derived using the CPI for 1990 

and 2010 and results in an automatic 

penalty of $3,464 per excess ton of 

sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides 

emitted for 2010.

Boundary and the Mooney Basin 

Operation Area Boundary, White Pine 

County, NV. 

Summary: EPA expressed 

environmental objections because waste 

rock from several pits could generate 

leachate with high concentrations of 

metals and metalloids, and degrade 

water quality if the leachate should 

reach groundwater or surface waters, or 

if pit lakes would form. Also, EPA 

expressed concerns about potential 

impacts to air quality and the lack of 

suitable soil for reclamation. EPA 

recommends the additional information 

on waste rock geochemical 

characterization, potential impacts to 

water and air resources, mitigation and 

monitoring, and closure and 

reclamation. Rating EO2. 

EIS No. 20090047, ERP No. D–COE–

Commercial and Marine 

Development, Gulf Shores and Orange 

Beach, Baldwin County, AL. 

Summary: EPA expressed 

environmental concerns about water 

quality and hydrological impacts. 

Specific BMPs designed to minimize 

water quality impacts should be

MS. 

Summary: EPA expressed concern 

about wetland and stream impacts, 

flood storage loss, and noise impacts, 

and requested additional avoidance, 

minimization, and/or mitigation 

measures for these impacts. EPA also 

recommended commitments to bridge or 

narrow the ROW width, wherever 

possible, over major aquatic resources.
