Acid Rain Program: Notice of a Draft Opt-in Permit

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a draft opt-in permit.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is issuing a draft 
opt-in permit to Dairyland Power Cooperative's Alma facility in 
Wisconsin in accordance with the Acid Rain Permits and Opt-in 
regulations (40 CFR parts 72 and 74, respectively). Because the Agency 
does not anticipate receiving adverse comments, the draft permit is 
also being issued as a direct final action in the notice of a final 
opt-in permit published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.

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

ADDRESSES: Administrative Record. The administrative record for the 
draft permit, except information protected as confidential, may be 
viewed during normal operating hours at the following location: U.S. 
EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, Illinois.
    Comments. Send comments, requests for public hearings, and requests 
to receive notice of future actions concerning a draft permit to: David 
Kee, Director, Air and Radiation Division (AT18J) (address above).
    Submit all comments in duplicate and identify 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 the 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.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Beth Valenziano, U.S. EPA Region 5, 
(312) 886-2703.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no significant, adverse comments are 
timely received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to the 
draft permit and the permit issued as a direct final action in the 
notice of a final opt-in permit 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 the 
draft permit, that permit in the notice of a final opt-in permit will 
be withdrawn. Because the Agency will not institute a second comment 
period on this notice of a draft opt-in permit, any parties interested 
in commenting should do so during this comment period.
    For further information and a detailed description of the permit, 
see the information provided in the notice of a final opt-in permit 
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.
