AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final action. 

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Clean Air Act 

(CAA) section 505(b)(2) and 40 CFR

Agency (EPA) Administrator signed an 

Order, dated July 29, 2016, denying a 

petition filed by Finger Lakes Zero 

Waste Coalition, Inc., dated February 8, 

2016, asking the EPA to ‘‘reopen’’ the 

Title V operating permit, Permit No. 8– 

3244–00040/00002, issued by the New 

York State Department of 

Environmental Conservation (DEC) to 

Seneca Energy II, LLC (Seneca) relating

Energy Facility in western New York. 

The process by which the EPA may 

initiate the reopening process for such 

a title V permit is explained at 40 CFR 

70.7(g)(1). 

DATES: Any such petition for review of 

this Order filed under the CAA must be 

received by November 7, 2016 pursuant 

to section 307 of the CAA. 

ADDRESSES: You may review copies of 

the final Order, the petitions, and other 

supporting information during normal

4074, email address: riva.steven@

epa.gov, or the above EPA Region 2 

address. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In the 

context of a petition to reopen, the 

threshold determination is the 

Administrator’s ‘‘find[ing] that cause 

exists to terminate, modify, or revoke 

and reissue a permit’’ pursuant to 40 

CFR 70.7(f). If, and only if, the 

Administrator makes that finding, the 

EPA ‘‘will notify’’ the relevant entities 

to initiate the reopening process. In light 

of the discretionary threshold finding 

applicable to reopening for cause by the 

EPA, a petition to reopen a title V 

permit should present evidence (e.g., 

factual information, citation, analysis) 

explaining why there is cause to reopen 

the title V permit pursuant to 40 CFR 

70.7(f). In this instance, the Petitioner 

has not presented sufficient evidence 

that the title V permit fails to comply 

with the CAA, or that it should be 

reopened for cause pursuant to 40 CFR 

70.7(f). 

Dated: August 29, 2016.

Applications collected from loan 

applicants through this solicitation will 

be used by EPA, the WIFIA program 

office, and an evaluation team to 

determine whether each proposed 

project meets creditworthiness and 

other Federal requirements to receive 

WIFIA credit assistance. 

Form Numbers: None. 

Respondents/affected entities: The 

Letters of Interest and Applications 

collected from loan applicants through 

this solicitation will be used by EPA to 

evaluate requests for credit assistance 

under the WIFIA eligibility 

requirements and selection criteria. 

Respondent’s obligation to respond: 

Required to obtain credit assistance 

pursuant to section 5024 of WIFIA, 33 

U.S.C. 3903.
