Take notice that the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is taking comment on an interim final Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) for Clean Air Ad (CAA) requirements to control Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) emissions from 011 and natural gas production sources on the Fort Berthold Indian Reservation (FBIR) in North Dakota. The EPA's intention is to promulgate Federal regulations that reflect an important initial step to fill the regulatory gap with regard to controlling VOC emission from 011 and gas production operations on the FBIR. However, the EPA does not intend, nor does It expect, this gap-filling regulation to impose significantly different regulatory burdens upon the industry or the residents than those Imposed by the rules of the North Dakota Department of Health (NDDoH) for operations in the surrounding areas. This interim final rule is intended to formally level the playing field. In otherwords, the EPA Intends that the residents receive equivalent air quality protections as those outside the FSIR while the industry • is regulated in a similar fashion as the NDDoH requirements that apply to those operating outside the FBIR. Members ofthe public may review copies ofthe interim final FIP prepared by the EPA, and all supporting materials at the following locations: Three Affiliated TrIbe's Administration Office: 404 Frontage Road, New Town, ND 58763 Three Affiliated Tribe's Environmental Programs Office: 204 West Main St, New Town, ND 58763 fort Be'thold COmmunity College Library: 220 8th Avenue East, New Town, ND 58763 Mandaree Community Center: 4th Avenue, NE, 404 Ridge Road, Mandaree, NO 58757 Parshall Segment Office: 22 South Main St, Parshall, ND 58770 Twin Buttes Memorial Hall: 8096 BlA Route 22, Halliday, ND 58636 White Shield Segment Office: 1620 61st Avenue, NW, Roseglen, NO 58775 Four Bears Community Suildlng: 2000 Chief Four Bears Avenue, Four Bears Village, NO 58763 US EPA Region 8 Office: 1595 Wynkoop St., Denver, CO 802:02 All documents**~vlll** be available for review at the EPA Region 8 office**Mo~day** through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. (excluding Federal hohdays).
