k. The Errol Project consists of: (1) An 

existing dam consisting of a 25-foothigh, 202.5- foot-long gated section 

separated by rock-filled timber or 

concrete crib piers supporting five 

sluice gates and seven deep gates, and 

an earthen dike with a sheet steel cutoff wall on the upstream side, extending 

approximately 50 feet from the end of 

the gated section of the dam to the 

northwestern wall of the powerhouse 

and then extending another 

approximately 70 feet from the 

southeastern powerhouse wall to the 

eastern embankment; (2) an 

approximately 9,098-acre project 

impoundment with a storage capacity of 

89,568 acre-feet at a normal pond 

elevation of 1,247 feet, which includes 

an approximately 3-mile-long reach of 

the Androscoggin River above Errol 

Dam, Umbagog Lake, and approximately 

4.3 miles of the Magalloway River; (3) 

a reinforced concrete powerhouse

44356 Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 153 / Thursday, August 12, 2021 / Notices 

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 July 20, 2021, granting in 

part and denying in part a Petition dated 

April 4, 2017 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 BP 

Amoco Chemical Company (BP Amoco) 

for its Texas City Chemical Plant located 

in Galveston 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://

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 April 4, 2017, 

requesting that the EPA object to the 

issuance of operating permit no. O1513, 

issued by TCEQ to the Texas City 

Chemical Plant in Galveston County, 

Texas. The Petition claims the proposed 

permit failed to establish a compliance 

schedule for BP Amoco to obtain a 

federally approved major source permit, 

failed to assure compliance with 

emission limits and operating 

requirements established by BP 

Amoco’s New Source Review (NSR) 

permits, and failed to incorporate 

permits by rule (PBR) to assure 

compliance with applicable 

requirements. 

On July 20, 2021, the EPA 

Administrator issued an Order granting 

in part and denying in part the Petition. 

The Order explains the basis for EPA’s 

decision.

Public Water System Supervision 

Program Revision for the State of 

Hawaii 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Notice of tentative approval. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the State of Hawaii (State) revised its 

Public Water System Supervision 

(PWSS) Program under the federal Safe 

Drinking Water Act (SDWA) by 

adopting regulations to implement the 

federal Radionuclides Rule. The 

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 

has determined that the State’s revisions 

are no less stringent than the 

corresponding Federal regulations and 

otherwise meet applicable SDWA 

primacy requirements. Therefore, EPA 

intends to approve the stated revisions 

as part of the State’s PWSS Program. 

DATES: A request for a public hearing 

must be received or postmarked before 

September 13, 2021. 

ADDRESSES: All documents relating to 

this determination are available for 

inspection online at http://

health.hawaii.gov/sdwb/public-notices/. 

In addition, documents relating to this 

determination are available between the 

hours of 8:30 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., 

Monday through Friday, except official 

State holidays, at the following address: 

Hawaii Department of Health, Safe 

Drinking Water Branch, 2385 Waimano 

Home Road, Uluakupu Building 4, Pearl 

City, Hawaii 96782. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: 

Anna Yen, United States Environmental 

Protection Agency, Region 9, Drinking 

Water Section, via telephone number: 

(415) 972–3976 or email address: 

yen.anna@epa.gov. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background. EPA approved the State’s 

initial application for PWSS Program 

primary enforcement authority 

(‘‘primacy’’) on October 20, 1977 (42 FR 

47244). Since initial approval, EPA has 

approved various revisions to Hawaii’s 

PWSS Program. For the revisions 

covered by this action, the EPA revised 

the Radionuclides Rule on December 7, 

2000 (66 FR 76708), which had been in 

effect since 1977. The revisions set new 

monitoring provisions for community 

water systems; retain the existing 

maximum contaminant levels (MCLs) 

for combined radium-226 and radium228, gross alpha particle radioactivity, 

and beta particle and photon activity; 

and regulate uranium for the first time. 

EPA has determined that the 

Radionuclides Rule was adopted 

verbatim into the Hawaii Administrative 

Rules (HAR), Title 11, Chapter 20, in a 

manner that Hawaii’s regulations are 

comparable to and no less stringent than 

federal requirements. EPA has also 

determined that the State’s primacy 

revision application meets all of the 

regulatory requirements for approval, as 

set forth in 40 CFR 142.12, including a 

side-by-side comparison of the Federal 

requirements and the corresponding 

State authorities, additional materials to 

support special primacy requirements of 

40 CFR 142.16, and a statement by the 

Hawaii Attorney General certifying that 

Hawaii’s laws and regulations to carry 

out the program revisions were duly 

adopted and are enforceable. Therefore, 

EPA is tentatively approving the State’s 

revisions as part of Hawaii’s PWSS 

Program. 

Public Process. Any interested party 

may request a public hearing on this 

determination. A request for a public 

hearing must be received or postmarked 

before September 13, 2021, and 

addressed to the Regional Administrator 

at the EPA Region 9, via the following 

email address: R9dw-program@epa.gov. 

Please note, ‘‘State Primacy Rule 

Determination’’ in the subject line of the 

email. The Regional Administrator may 

deny frivolous or insubstantial requests 

for a hearing. If a substantial request for 

a public hearing is made before 

September 13, 2021, EPA Region 9 will 

hold a public hearing. Any request for 

a public hearing shall include the 

following information: 1. The name, 

address, and telephone number of the 

individual, organization, or other entity 

requesting a hearing; 2. A brief 

statement of the requesting person’s 

interest in the Regional Administrator’s
