Acid Rain Program: Notice of Draft Phase II Acid Rain Permits

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of draft Phase II acid rain permits.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is issuing draft 
Phase II acid rain permits to 3 affected sources in accordance with the 
Acid Rain Program regulations (40 CFR part 72). Because the Agency does 
not anticipate receiving adverse comments, the draft permits are also 
being issued as a direct final action in the notice of final acid rain 
permits published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.

DATES: Comments on the draft permits proposed by this action must be 
received on or before December 18, 1997 or 30 days after publication of 
a similar notice in a local newspaper.

ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for each 
draft permit, except information protected as confidential, may be 
viewed during normal operating hours at the following locations:

For Deseret Bonanza in Utah: U.S. EPA Region 8, Air Program, 999 18th 
St., Suite 500, Denver, CO 80202-2466;
 For Navajo in Arizona and Four Corners in New Mexico: U.S. EPA Region 
9, 75 Hawthorne St., San Francisco, CA 94105.

    Comments. Send comments, requests for public hearings, and requests 
to receive notice of future actions concerning a draft permit to:

For Deseret Bonanza in Utah: Richard Long, Air Program Director, Office 
of Pollution Prevention, State and Tribal Assistance, (8P2-A) (address 
above);
For Navajo in Arizona and Four Corners in New Mexico: David Howekamp, 
Director, Air and Toxics Division, (A-5-2) (address above).

    Submit all comments in duplicate and identify the draft permit to 
which the comments apply, the commenter's name, address, and telephone 
number, and the commenter's interest in the matter and affiliation, if 
any, to the owners and operators of all units covered by the draft 
permit. All timely comments will be considered, except those pertaining 
to standard provisions under 40 CFR 72.9 and issues not relevant to the 
draft permit.
    Hearings. To request a public hearing on a draft permit, submit a 
written request stating the issues proposed to be raised in the hearing 
and explaining how a hearing will contribute to the decision-making 
process. EPA may schedule a hearing if EPA finds that it will 
contribute to the decision-making process by clarifying significant 
issues affecting the draft permit.

Owens,

U.S. EPA Region 8, (303) 312-6440; for Navajo in Arizona and Four 
Corners in New Mexico: Robert Baker, U.S. EPA Region 9, (415) 744-1258.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no significant, adverse comments are 
timely received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to 
these draft permits and the permits issued as a direct final action in 
the notice of final acid rain permits published elsewhere in today's 
Federal Register will automatically become final on the date specified 
in that notice. If significant, adverse comments are timely received on 
any draft permit, that permit in the notice of final acid rain permits 
will be withdrawn. Because the Agency will not institute a second 
comment period on this notice of draft acid rain permits, any parties 
interested in commenting should do so during this comment period.
    For further information and a detailed description of the permits, 
see the information provided in the notice of final acid rain permits 
elsewhere in today's Federal Register.

    Dated: November 12, 1997.
Janice K. Wagner,
Acting Director, Acid Rain Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs, 
Office of Air and Radiation.
