Acid Rain Program: Draft Permit Modifications

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of draft permit modifications.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is issuing for 
comment draft modifications to the sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2) compliance 
plans of two previously issued final Phase I Acid Rain Permits in 
accordance with the Acid Rain Program regulations (40 CFR part 72).

DATES: Comments on the draft modifications must be received no later 
than 30 days after the date of this notice or the date of publication 
of a similar notice in a local newspaper, whichever is later.

ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the 
permits, except information protected as confidential, may be viewed 
during normal operating hours at EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson Blvd, 
Chicago, IL, 60604.
    Comments. Send comments, requests for public hearings, and requests 
to receive notice of future actions to David Kee, Division Director, 
Air and Radiation Division, EPA Region 5, (address above). Submit 
comments in duplicate and identify the permit to 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 all units in the plan. All timely comments will 
be considered, except those pertaining to standard provisions under 40 
CFR 72.9 or issues not relevant to the permit.
    Hearings. 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 an SO<INF>2 compliance plan.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION: Call Genevieve Nearmyer, (312) 353-4761.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Title IV of the Clean Air Act directs EPA to 
establish the Acid Rain Program to reduce the adverse environmental and 
public health effects of acidic deposition. Under the program, each 
affected unit at an electric utility generating plant must hold one 
allowance for each ton of SO<INF>2 that is emitted during the year, and 
each plant must have a permit with a plan for complying. In today's 
action, EPA is issuing, for public comment, draft modifications to 
existing permits, allocating SO<INF>2 emission allowances and approving 
SO<INF>2 compliance plans, to the following utility plants:
    Baldwin in Illinois: one substitution plan for 1995-1999, in which 
unit 3 designates Havana units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 as 
substitution units.
    Havana in Illinois: one substitution plan for 1995-1999, in which 
Baldwin unit 3 designates units 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 as 
substitution units; 34 substitution allowances are allocated for each 
year 1995-1999 to units 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8; 43 substitution 
allowances are allocated for each year 1995-1999 to unit 2.
    The Designated Representative for Baldwin and Havana is Jene L. 
Robinson.

    Dated: March 27, 1995.
Brian J. McLean,
Director, Acid Rain Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs, Office of 
Air and Radiation.
