final on December 29, 1997 or 40 days after publication of a similar 
notice in a local newspaper, whichever is later, unless significant, 
adverse comments are received by December 18, 1997 or 30 days after 
publication of a similar document in a local newspaper, whichever is 
later. If significant, adverse comments are timely received on any 
permit in this direct final action, that permit will be withdrawn 
through a notice in the Federal Register.

    The number of allowances allocated to these units by U.S. EPA may 
change in a 1998 revision to 40 CFR part 73 Tables 2, 3, and 4. Such a

allowance allocations identified in the permits for these affected 
sources (See 40 CFR 72.84).
