Acid Rain NOX Emission Reduction

Program—Permit Modifications for

Alternative Emission Limitations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of draft permit

modifications adopting alternative

emission limitations.

SUMMARY: Under Title IV of the Clean

Air Act, EPA established the Acid Rain

NOX Emission Reduction Program to

reduce the adverse effects of acidic

deposition. EPA adopted nitrogen

oxides ( NOX) emission limits and

issued permits to affected sources. EPA

is issuing and requesting public

comment on draft Acid Rain permit

modifications. These permit

modifications add new NOX emission

limitations (i.e., Alternative Emission

Limitations for NOX emissions for Phase

I units in accordance with the Acid Rain

Program regulations) to the permits. The

Alternative Emission Limitations are

less stringent than the standard limit for

these type of units but are the minimum

rate that the units can achieve during

long-term dispatch operation with low

NOX burners.

DATES: Comments. EPA must receive

comments on this action on or before

the later of December 22, 2000 or 30

days after the date on which a similar

notice is published in a local

newspaper.

Public Hearing. Anyone requesting a

public hearing on this action must

contract the EPA by the later of

December 4, 2000 or 10 days after the

date on which a similar notice is

published in a local newspaper.

ADDRESSES: Comments. Send comments,

requests for a public hearing, and

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 the

units involved.

Public Hearing. To request a public

hearing, state the issues proposed to be

raised in the hearing. 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 modification.

administrative record for the draft

permit modification, except information

protected as confidential, may be

viewed during normal operating hours

at the following location: EPA Region 3,

action, EPA is issuing and requesting

public comment on draft permit

modifications that add to permits an

Alternative Emission Limitations for

NOX emissions for Phase I units in

accordance with Parts 72 and 76 of the

Acid Rain Program regulations. EPA

will consider all timely comments,

except those pertaining to standard

provisions under 40 CFR 72.9 or issues

not relevant to the draft permit

modifications. The units involved are

Morgantown Units 1 and 2 and Mitchell

Units 1 and 2. Morgantown, Units 1 and

2, are in Charles County, Maryland and

will be required to meet an annual

average emissions limit for NOX of 0.63

lb/mmBtu and 0.64 lb/mmBtu,

respectively, instead of the otherwise

applicable standard limit of 0.45 lb/

mmBtu. The Morgantown unit’s

designated representative is James S.

Potts. Mitchell, Units 1 and 2, are in

Marshall County, West Virginia, and

will be required to meet an annual

average emissions limit for NOX of 0.55

lb/mmBtu and 0.53 lb/mmBtu,

respectively, instead of the otherwise

applicable limit of 0.50 lb/mmBtu. The

Mitchell unit’s designated

representative is John M. McManus.

Restricted Use Pesticides; Notice of

Approval

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

SUMMARY: In the Federal Register of July

14, 2000, EPA issued a notice of intent

to approve an amended South Dakota

Plan for the certification of applicators

of restricted use pesticides. In this

notice EPA solicited comments from the

public on the proposed action to

approve the amended South Dakota

Plan. The amended Certification Plan

South Dakota submitted to EPA

permitted the use of M-44 Sodium

Cyanide Devices by both commercial

establishes new requirements for the

training, certification, recertification,

and recordkeeping of individuals that

use M-44 Sodium Cyanide Devices. No
