SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

I. Additional Information About the 

Proposed Settlement Agreement 

The proposed settlement agreement 

would resolve two cases filed by the 

WildEarth Guardians (‘‘Guardians’’) and 

Sierra Club involving EPA actions under 

the CAA Title V operating permit 

program. On January 7, 2015, Guardians 

and Sierra Club filed petitions with the 

Environmental Appeal Board (‘‘EAB’’) 

challenging a Part 71 Operating Permit 

issued by EPA Region 8 on December 5, 

2014, to Deseret Power Cooperative 

(‘‘Deseret’’) to operate the Bonanza 

Power Plant (‘‘Bonanza Plant’’), a 500- 

megawatt coal-fired power plant located 

within the exterior boundaries of the 

Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation in 

Utah. Under the proposed settlement 

agreement, Deseret would submit an 

application for a minor New Source 

Review (NSR) permit which would 

provide for installation of low NOX

burners with over-fire air controls, along 

with other operator-requested permit 

terms and conditions. The agreement 

also provides that if EPA Region 8 

issues a final permit with provisions 

that are consistent with the settlement 

agreement: (1) Petitioners would file 

motions to dismiss the EAB appeals; (2) 

EPA would withdraw a proposed 

Prevention of Significant Deterioration 

Permit for the facility; (3) Deseret would 

withdraw an outstanding permit 

application; and (4) Deseret and Sierra 

Club would withdraw their respective 

and related FOIA requests. Under the 

agreement EPA would also state its plan 

to withdraw a proposed Prevention of 

Significant Deterioration Permit for the 

Plant. The proposed settlement 

agreement also provides that nothing in 

the agreement shall be construed to 

limit or modify any discretion afforded 

EPA by the Act or by general principles 

of administrative law in taking those 

actions. See the proposed settlement 

agreement for specific details. 

For a period of thirty (30) days 

following the date of publication of this 

notice, the Agency will accept written 

comments relating to the proposed 

settlement agreement from persons who 


tkelley on DSK3SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
63994 Federal Register / Vol. 80, No. 204 / Thursday, October 22, 2015 / Notices 

were not named as parties or interveners 

to the litigation in question. EPA may 

withdraw or withhold consent to the 

proposed settlement agreement if the 

comments disclose facts or 

considerations that indicate that such 

consent is inappropriate, improper, 

inadequate, or inconsistent with the 

requirements of the Act. Unless EPA 

determines that consent to this 

settlement agreement should be 

withdrawn, the terms of the agreement 

will be affirmed. 

II. Additional Information About 

Commenting on the Proposed 

Settlement Agreement 

A. How can I get a copy of the 

settlement agreement? 

The official public docket for this 

action (identified by Docket ID No. 

EPA–HQ–OGC–2015–0678) contains a 

copy of the proposed settlement 

agreement. The official public docket is 

available for public viewing at the 

Office of Environmental Information 

(OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket Center, 

EPA West, Room 3334, 1301 

Constitution Ave. NW., Washington, 

DC. The EPA Docket Center Public 

Reading Room is open from 8:30 a.m. to 

4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, 

excluding legal holidays. The telephone 

number for the Public Reading Room is 

(202) 566–1744, and the telephone 

number for the OEI Docket is (202) 566– 

1752. 

An electronic version of the public 

docket is available through 

www.regulations.gov. You may use the 

www.regulations.gov to submit or view 

public comments, access the index 

listing of the contents of the official 

public docket, and to access those 

documents in the public docket that are 

available electronically. Once in the 

system, key in the appropriate docket 

identification number then select 

‘‘search.’’ 

It is important to note that EPA’s 

policy is that public comments, whether 

submitted electronically or in paper, 

will be made available for public 

viewing online at www.regulations.gov 

without change, unless the comment 

contains copyrighted material, CBI, or 

other information whose disclosure is 

restricted by statute. Information 

claimed as CBI and other information 

whose disclosure is restricted by statute 

is not included in the official public 

docket or in the electronic public 

docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted 

material, including copyrighted material 

contained in a public comment, will not 

be placed in EPA’s electronic public 

docket but will be available only in 

printed, paper form in the official public 

docket. Although not all docket 

materials may be available 

electronically, you may still access any 

of the publicly available docket 

materials through the EPA Docket 

Center. 

B. How and to whom do I submit 

comments? 

You may submit comments as 

provided in the ADDRESSES section. 

Please ensure that your comments are 

submitted within the specified comment 

period. Comments received after the 

close of the comment period will be 

marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to 

consider these late comments. 

If you submit an electronic comment, 

EPA recommends that you include your 

name, mailing address, and an email 

address or other contact information in 

the body of your comment and with any 

disk or CD–ROM you submit. This 

ensures that you can be identified as the 

submitter of the comment and allows 

EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot 

read your comment due to technical 

difficulties or needs further information 

on the substance of your comment. Any 

identifying or contact information 

provided in the body of a comment will 

be included as part of the comment that 

is placed in the official public docket, 

and made available in EPA’s electronic 

public docket. If EPA cannot read your 

comment due to technical difficulties 

and cannot contact you for clarification, 

EPA may not be able to consider your 

comment. 

Use of the www.regulations.gov Web 

site to submit comments to EPA 

electronically is EPA’s preferred method 

for receiving comments. The electronic 

public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous 

access’’ system, which means EPA will 

not know your identity, email address, 

or other contact information unless you 

provide it in the body of your comment. 

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public 

docket, EPA’s electronic mail (email) 

system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’ 

system. If you send an email comment 

directly to the Docket without going 

through www.regulations.gov, your 

email address is automatically captured 

and included as part of the comment 

that is placed in the official public 

docket, and made available in EPA’s 

electronic public docket.
