This source is required to obtain a Clean Air Act (CAA) title V operating permit in accordance 

with the 40 CFR Part 71 Federal Operating Permits Program. The permit contains all the CAA

requirements that apply to the source and requires the source to conduct monitoring sufficient to 

enable EPA and the public to determine whether the source is complying with the applicable air 

quality requirements. This proceeding is subject to the administrative requirements of 40 CFR § 

71.11.

Pursuant to 40 CFR § 71.11(f), EPA shall hold a Public Hearing if the Regional Administrator 

finds, on the basis of requests, a significant amount of public interest in a draft permit. Requests 

for a Public Hearing must contain the reasons for requesting a hearing. If a Public Hearing is 

granted, a public notice stating the date, time and place of the hearing will be made at least 30 

days prior to the hearing and the comment period will be extended through the hearing date.

A legal ad to be published in the Marianas Variety Guam Edition newspaper on April 12, 2016

(April 11, 2016, for California), will announce EPA’s proposal to issue the title V operating 

permit and list a 30-day public comment period. All comments upon or objections to the draft 

permit and requests for a Public Hearing must be sent or delivered to Lornette Harvey at the 

address shown above by May 11, 2016 (May 12, 2016, for Guam), within the 30-day public 

comment period. An extension of the 30-day comment period may be granted if the request for 

an extension adequately explains why more time is required to prepare comments. All comments 

received prior to the end of the 30-day public comment period and all comments made during a 

public hearing will be considered in arriving at a final decision on the permit. The final permit is 

a public record that can be obtained upon request. A statement of reasons for changes made to 

the draft permit and responses to comments received will be sent to all persons who commented 

on the draft permit. 

If you believe any condition of the draft permit is inappropriate or that our initial decision to 

deny an application, terminate a permit, or prepare a draft permit is inappropriate, you must raise 

all reasonably ascertainable issues and submit all reasonably ascertainable arguments supporting 

your position by the end of the 30-day public comment period. 

If you would like to be added to the mailing list for updates on a particular facility or for updates 

on EPA’s title V operating permit program, please contact EPA at the address listed above. 

Please bring the foregoing notice to the attention of all persons who you know would be 

interested in this matter.

Please be aware that based on an August 14, 2015, order of the United States Court of Appeals 

for the District of Columbia Circuit, the provisions of 40 CFR Section 63.6640(f)(2)(ii)-(iii) may 

be vacated on May 1, 2016.
