SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title IV of

the Clean Air Act directs EPA to

establish a program to reduce the

adverse effects of acidic deposition by

promulgating rules and issuing permits

to emission sources subject to the

program. In today’s action, EPA is

approving permit modifications that

include approval of emissions averaging

plans for NOX. Under each year in each

plan, the actual Btu-weighted annual

average emission rate for the units in the

plan shall be less than or equal to the

Btu-weighted annual average rate for the

same units had they each been operated,

during the same period of time, in

compliance with the applicable

emission limitation in 40 CFR 76.5. For

each unit in the plan, each plan also

includes emission limits and/or annual

heat input limits, with which the units

must comply if the requirement

concerning the Btu-weighted average

emission rate for the units as a group is

not met. The following plans are being

approved:

R P Smith units 9 and 11 in Maryland,

Armstrong units 1 and 2, and Mitchell

unit 33 in Pennsylvania, and Albright

units 1, 2, and 3, Fort Martin unit 1,

Harrison units 1, 2, and 3, and Pleasants

units 1 and 2 in West Virginia will each

comply with three identical NOX

averaging plans, one for each year,

1997–1999. The designated

representative is Donald R. Feenstra.

4BLR, Hammond units 1, 2, 3, and 4,
