[Petition IV–2011–1; FRL–9734–2] 

Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petition for Objection to 

State Operating Permit for Tennessee 

Valley Authority’s Shawnee Fossil 

Plant; McCracken 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 

(CAA) Section 505(b)(2), the EPA 

Administrator signed an Order, dated 

August 31, 2012, denying a petition to 

object to a CAA title V operating permit 

issued by the Kentucky Division for Air 

Quality (KDAQ) to Tennessee Valley 

Authority for its Shawnee Fossil Plant 

(SFP) facility located in West Paducah, 

Kentucky. This Order constitutes a final 

action on the petition dated February 

28, 2011, and submitted by the 

Environmental Integrity Project and the 

Southern Alliance for Clean Energy 

(Petitioners). Pursuant to sections 307(b) 

and 505(b)(2) of the CAA, a petition for 

judicial review of those parts of the 

Order that deny the petition may be 

filed in the United States Court of 

Appeals for the appropriate circuit 

within 60 days from the date this notice 

is published in the Federal Register. 

ADDRESSES: Copies of the Order, the 

petition, and 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 Order is also available 

electronically at the following address:

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

James Purvis, Air Permits Section, EPA 

Region 4, at (404) 562–9139 or 

purvis.james@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords the EPA a 45-day period to 

review and, as appropriate, the 

authority to object to operating permits 

proposed by state permitting authorities 

under title V of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 

7661–7661f. Section 505(b)(2) of the 

CAA 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 the EPA’s 45-day 

review period if the 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 

regarding SFP (received by the EPA on 

March 1, 2011), requesting that the EPA 

object to the CAA title V operating 

permit (#V–09–002 R1). Petitioners 

alleged that the permit was not 

consistent with the CAA for four 

primary reasons described in the 

petition. On August 31, 2012, the 

Administrator issued an Order denying 

the petition. In summary, the Petition 

was denied because the EPA interprets 

its regulations to limit the scope of 

petitions to object on permit revisions 

resulting from reopening for cause. The 

scope of petitions to object is limited to 

issues related to the parts of the permit 

for which the permitting authority has 

determined that cause to reopen exists. 

Because the Petitioners’ objections 

apply to parts of the Shawnee Permit 

that are beyond the scope of the 

reopening for cause resulting in Permit 

Revision 1, the EPA is denying the 

Petition. The Order further explains the 

EPA’s rationale for denying the petition. 

Dated: September 17, 2012. 

A. Stanley Meiburg, 

Deputy Regional Administrator, Region 4.
