Available Retrofit Technology for Four Corners Power Plant: Navajo

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency.

ACTION: Notice of public hearings.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: On October 6, 2010, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)

[[Page 69374]]

signed a proposal to promulgate a source specific Federal 
Implementation Plan (FIP) requiring the Four Corners Power Plant 
(FCPP), located on the Navajo Nation, to achieve emissions reductions 
required by the Clean Air Act's Best Available Retrofit Technology 
(BART) provision. The proposal was published in the Federal Register on 
October 19, 2010 (75 FR 64221). Given the significant public interest 
in this source specific FIP and to further public participation 
opportunities, EPA has scheduled three open houses and public hearings. 
These open houses and public hearings will occur in Shiprock, New 
Mexico on December 7, 2010, Farmington, New Mexico on December 8, 2010, 
and Durango, Colorado on December 9, 2010. More information on the 
locations is provided in SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION.

DATES: The hearings will occur in Shiprock, New Mexico on December 7, 
2010, Farmington, New Mexico, on December 8, 2010, and Durango, 
Colorado on December 9, 2010.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The public hearings will provide interested 
parties the opportunity to present views or arguments concerning the 
proposed FIP. Written statements and supporting information submitted 
during the comment period will be considered with the same weight as 
any oral comments and supporting information presented at the public 
hearings. Written comments must be postmarked on or before the last day 
of the comment period, December 20, 2010. EPA will not respond to 
comments during the public hearing. When we publish our final action, 
we will provide written responses to all oral and written comments 
received on our proposal. To provide opportunities for questions and 
discussion, EPA will hold open houses prior to the public hearings. 
During these open houses, EPA staff will be available to informally 
answer questions on our proposed action. Any comments made to EPA staff 
during the open houses must still be provided formally in writing or 
orally during the public hearing in order to be considered in the 
record.
    Oral testimony may be limited to 5 minutes for each commenter to 
address the proposal. We will not be providing equipment for commenters 
to show overhead slides or make computerized slide presentations. Any 
person may provide written or oral comments, in English or Dine, and 
data pertaining to our proposal at the Public Hearing. English-Dine 
translation services will be provided at both the Open Houses and the 
Public Hearings in Shiprock and Farmington. English-Dine translation 
services will not be provided at the Durango Open House and Public 
Hearing unless it is requested by November 18, 2010. Verbatim 
transcripts, in English, of the hearings and written statements will be 
included in the rulemaking docket.

19, 2010 (75 FR 64221) and can be accessed the following Web site:
