Region 3] 

Approval and Promulgation of Air 

Quality Implementation Plans; Virginia; 

Removal of Two Operating Permits and 

a Consent Agreement for the Potomac 

River Generating Station From the 

State Implementation Plan 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Proposed rule. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) proposes to approve the 

State Implementation Plan (SIP) 

revision submitted by the 

Commonwealth of Virginia removing 

from the Virginia SIP two operating 

permits and a consent agreement for 

GenOn Potomac River, LLC’s Potomac 

River Generating Station which was 

formerly owned by Potomac Electric 

Power Company. In the Final Rules 

section of this Federal Register, EPA is 

approving the Commonwealth’s SIP 

submittal as a direct final rule without 

prior proposal because the Agency 

views this as a noncontroversial 

submittal and anticipates 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 action, no 

further activity is contemplated. 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final rule will be withdrawn and all 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. 

Any parties interested in commenting 

on this action should do so at this time. 

DATES: Comments must be received in 

writing by September 11, 2014. 

ADDRESSES: Submit your comments, 

identified by Docket ID Number EPA–

consider to be CBI or otherwise 

protected through www.regulations.gov

comment. If you send an email 

comment directly to EPA without going

email address will be automatically

comment that is placed in the public 

docket and made available on the 

Internet. If you submit an electronic 

comment, EPA recommends that you 

include your name and other contact 

information in the body of your 

comment and with any disk or CD–ROM

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. Electronic files should avoid 

the use of special characters, any form 

of encryption, and be free of any defects 

or viruses. 

Docket: All documents in the 

electronic docket are listed in the 

www.regulations.gov index. Although 

listed in the index, some information is 

not publicly available, i.e., CBI or other 

information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Certain other 

material, such as copyrighted material, 

is not placed on the Internet and will be 

publicly available only in hard copy 

form. Publicly available docket

Impoundment, of the California Gulch 

Superfund Site (Site), located in Lake 

County, Colorado, from the National 

Priorities List (NPL) and requests public 

comments on this proposed action. The 

NPL, promulgated pursuant to section 

105 of the Comprehensive 

Environmental Response, 

Compensation, and Liability Act

that all appropriate response actions at 

OU4, OU5 and OU7 under CERCLA, 

other than operation, maintenance, and 

five-year reviews, have been completed. 

However, this deletion does not 

preclude future actions under 

Superfund.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

‘‘Rules and Regulations’’ Section of 

today’s Federal Register, we are 

publishing a direct final Notice of 

Partial Deletion for all of OU4, OU5 and 

OU7 of the California Gulch Superfund

Partial Deletion because EPA views this 

as a noncontroversial revision and 

anticipates no adverse comment. We 

have explained our reasons for this 

partial deletion in the preamble to the 

direct final Notice of Partial Deletion, 

and those reasons are incorporated 

herein. If we receive no adverse 

comment(s) on this partial deletion 

action, we will not take further action 

on this Notice of Intent for Partial 

Deletion. If we receive adverse 

comment(s), we will withdraw the 

direct final Notice of Partial Deletion 

and it will not take effect. We will, as 

appropriate, address all public 

comments in a subsequent final Notice 

of Partial Deletion based on this Notice 

of Intent for Partial Deletion. We will 

not institute a second comment period 

on this Notice of Intent for Partial 

Deletion. Any parties interested in 

commenting must do so at this time. 

For additional information, see the 

direct final Notice of Partial Deletion 

which is located in the Rules section of
