Public Participation 

There are three ways to become 

involved in the Commission’s review of 

this project: You can file a protest to the 

project, you can file a motion to 

intervene in the proceeding, and you 

can file comments on the project. There 

is no fee or cost for filing protests, 

motions to intervene, or comments. The 

deadline for filing protests, motions to 

intervene, and comments is 5:00 p.m. 

Eastern Time on September 21, 2021. 

How to file protests, motions to 

intervene, and comments is explained 

below. 

Protests 

Pursuant to section 157.205 of the 

Commission’s regulations under the 

NGA,1 any person 2 or the Commission’s 

staff may file a protest to the request. If 

no protest is filed within the time 

allowed or if a protest is filed and then 

withdrawn within 30 days after the 

allowed time for filing a protest, the 

proposed activity shall be deemed to be 

authorized effective the day after the 

time allowed for protest. If a protest is 

filed and not withdrawn within 30 days 

after the time allowed for filing a 

protest, the instant request for 

authorization will be considered by the 

Commission. 

Protests must comply with the 

requirements specified in section 

157.205(e) of the Commission’s 

regulations,3 and must be submitted by 

the protest deadline, which is 

September 21, 2021. A protest may also 

serve as a motion to intervene so long 

as the protestor states it also seeks to be 

an intervenor. 

Interventions 

Any person has the option to file a 

motion to intervene in this proceeding. 

Only intervenors have the right to 

request rehearing of Commission orders 

issued in this proceeding and to 

subsequently challenge the 

Commission’s orders in the U.S. Circuit 

Courts of Appeal. 

To intervene, you must submit a 

motion to intervene to the Commission 

in accordance with Rule 214 of the 

Commission’s Rules of Practice and 

Procedure 4 and the regulations under 

the NGA 5 by the intervention deadline 

for the project, which is September 21, 

2021. As described further in Rule 214, 

your motion to intervene must state, to 

the extent known, your position 

regarding the proceeding, as well as 

your interest in the proceeding. For an 

individual, this could include your 

status as a landowner, ratepayer, 

resident of an impacted community, or 

recreationist. You do not need to have 

property directly impacted by the 

project in order to intervene. For more 

information about motions to intervene, 

refer to the FERC website at https://

www.ferc.gov/resources/guides/how-to/ 

intervene.asp. 

All timely, unopposed motions to 

intervene are automatically granted by 

operation of Rule 214(c)(1). Motions to 

intervene that are filed after the 

intervention deadline are untimely and 

may be denied. Any late-filed motion to 

intervene must show good cause for 

being late and must explain why the 

time limitation should be waived and 

provide justification by reference to 

factors set forth in Rule 214(d) of the 

Commission’s Rules and Regulations. A 

person obtaining party status will be 

placed on the service list maintained by 

the Secretary of the Commission and 

will receive copies (paper or electronic) 

of all documents filed by the applicant 

and by all other parties. 

Comments 

Any person wishing to comment on 

the project may do so. The Commission 

considers all comments received about 

the project in determining the 

appropriate action to be taken. To 

ensure that your comments are timely 

and properly recorded, please submit 

your comments on or before September 

21, 2021. The filing of a comment alone 

will not serve to make the filer a party 

to the proceeding. To become a party, 

you must intervene in the proceeding. 

How To File Protests, Interventions, and 

Comments 

There are two ways to submit 

protests, motions to intervene, and 

comments. In both instances, please 

reference the Project docket number 

CP21–473–000 in your submission. The 

Commission encourages electronic filing 

of submissions.

Clean Air Act Operating Permit 

Program; Petitions for Objection to 

State Operating Permit for Sandy 

Creek Services LLC, Sandy Creek 

Energy Station, Brazoria County, 

Texas 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition 

for objection to Clean Air Act title V 

operating permit. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) Administrator signed an 

Order dated June 30, 2021, granting a 

Petition dated January 16, 2018 from the 

Environmental Integrity Project and 

Sierra Club. The Petition requested that 

the EPA object to a Clean Air Act (CAA) 

title V operating permit issued by the 

Texas Commission on Environmental 

Quality (TCEQ) to Sandy Creek Services 

LLC (Sandy Creek) for its Sandy Creek 

Energy Station located in McLennan 

County, Texas. 

ADDRESSES: The EPA requests that you 

contact the individual listed in the FOR

FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section to 

view copies of the final Order, the 

Petition, and other supporting 

information. Out of an abundance of 

caution for members of the public and 

our staff, the EPA Region 6 office is 

currently closed to the public to reduce 

the risk of transmitting COVID–19. 

Please call or email the contact listed 

below if you need alternative access to 

the final Order and Petition, which are 

available electronically at: https://

www.epa.gov/title-v-operating-permits/ 

title-v-petition-database. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Aimee Wilson, EPA Region 6 Office, Air 

Permits Section, (214) 665–7596, 

wilson.aimee@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA 

affords EPA a 45-day period to review 

and object to, as appropriate, operating 

permits proposed by state permitting 

authorities under title V of the CAA. 

Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA authorizes 

any person to petition the EPA 

Administrator to object to a title V 

operating permit within 60 days after 

the expiration of the EPA’s 45-day 

review period if the EPA has not 

objected on its own initiative. Petitions 

must be based only on objections to the 

permit that were raised with reasonable 

specificity during the public comment 

period provided by the state, unless the 

petitioner demonstrates that it was 

impracticable to raise these issues 

during the comment period or unless 

the grounds for the issue arose after this 

period. 

The EPA received the Petition from 

the Environmental Integrity Project and 

Sierra Club dated January 16, 2018, 

requesting that the EPA object to the 

issuance of operating permit no. O3336, 

issued by TCEQ to the Sandy Creek 

Energy Station in McLennan County, 

Texas. The Petition claims the proposed 

permit failed to incorporate certified 

permits by rule (PBR) registrations as 

applicable requirements, and fails to 

include monitoring, recordkeeping, and 

reporting requirements that assure 

compliance with incorporated PBRs. 

On June 30, 2021, the EPA 

Administrator issued an Order granting 

the Petition. The Order explains the 

basis for EPA’s decision. 

Dated: July 22, 2021.
