variations
than
the
April
2000
proposal
of
AERMOD;
 
where
downwash
is
a
significant
factor
in
the
air
dispersion
analysis,
the
revised
version
of
AERMOD
predicts
maximum
concentrations
that
are
very
similar
to
ISC
 
PRIME;
 
for
those
source
scenarios
where
maximum
1­
hour
cavity
concentrations
are
calculated,
the
average
AERMOD
predicted
cavity
concentration
tends
to
be
about
the
same
as
the
average
ISC
 
PRIME
cavity
concentrations;
and
 
in
general,
the
consequences
of
using
the
revised
AERMOD,
instead
of
the
older
model
ISCST3,
in
complex
terrain
remained
essentially
unchanged,
although
they
varied
in
individual
circumstances.
Based
on
evaluations
of
the
revisions
described
above,
it
appears
that
the
modified
AERMOD
is
ready
to
be
incorporated
into
the
Guideline,
and
we
intend
to
promulgate
the
modified
AERMOD
(
02222).
This
Notice
of
Data
Availability
concerning
performance
studies
of
the
modified
model
is
being
provided
to
inform
the
public
about
the
model
performance
and
range
of
impacts
which
the
improved
version
of
AERMOD
could
have
on
estimated
air
quality
concentrations.
We
invite
public
comment
on
the
new
studies
(
see
DATES).
Comments

the

Electronically.
If
you
submit
an

you
include
your

any
disk
or
CD
ROM
you
submit,
and

any
cover
letter
accompanying
the

ROM.
This
ensures
that
you

be
identified
as
the
submitter
of
the

in
case
EPA
cannot
read
your

or
needs
further

EPA's
policy
is
that
EPA
will
not
edit
your

Notice
of
Clarification
of
the
Final
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
General
Permit
for
the
Eastern
Portion
of
Outer
Continental
Shelf
(
OCS)
of
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
(
GMG280000)

AGENCY:
Environmental
Protection
Agency
(
EPA).
ACTION:
Notice.

SUMMARY:
The
Regional
Administrator
(
RA)
of
EPA
Region
4
(
the
``
Region'')
is
today
issuing
a
notice
of
clarification
to
the
final
National
Pollutant
Discharge
Elimination
System
(
NPDES)
general
permit
for
the
Eastern
Portion
of
the
Outer
Continental
Shelf
(
OCS)
of
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
(
General
Permit
No.
GMG280000),
to
address
Notice
of
Intent
(
NOI)
requirements
for
discharges
covered
by
the
permit
after
April
30,
2003.
This
permit
was
published
at
63
FR
55745
on
October
16,
1998,
modified
on
March
14,
2001
at
66
FR
14988,
and
further
revised
on
April
6,
2001
at
66
FR
18253
for
discharges
in
the
Offshore
Subcategory
of
the
Oil
and
Gas
Extraction
Point
Source
Category
(
40
CFR
part
435,
subpart
A).
The
permit
issued
by
Region
4,
authorizes
discharges
from
exploration,
development,
and
production
facilities
located
in
and
discharging
to
all
Federal
waters
of
the
Gulf
of
Mexico
seaward
of
the
outer
boundary
of
the
territorial
seas.
This
notice
is
applicable
to
new
oil
and
gas
operations
(
operations),
which
obtained
coverage
under
the
existing
general
permit
coverage
after
April
30,
2003,
and
existing
operations
requesting
continued
coverage.
The
purpose
of
the
notice
is
to
clarify
the
procedure
for
these
operations
to
request
coverage
under
a
continued
general
permit,
since
it
does
not
clearly
discuss
this
procedure.
The
language
in
the
current
permit
referring
to
April
30,
2003,
as
the
deadline
for
existing
operations
to
submit
Notices
of
Intent
(
NOIs)
requesting
continued
coverage
under
this
permit
has
been
deleted.
The
clarification
applies
to
both
existing
and
new
operations.
Also,
the
word
``
Subsequent''
in
the
title
of
Part
I.
A.
6.
of
the
current
permit
has
been
replaced
with
the
word
``
Continued.''
The
change
is
made
because
the
language
in
this
Section
does
not
provide
a
procedure
to
obtain
coverage
under
a
subsequently
issued
(
renewed)
general
permit.
Part
I.
A.
6.
is
clarified
as
discussed
above:

6.
Intent
to
be
Covered
by
a
Continued
Permit
This
permit
shall
expire
on
October
31,
2003.
However,
an
expired
general
permit
continues
in
force
and
effect
until
a
new
general
permit
is
issued.
Permittees
must
submit
a
new
(
a
second)
NOI
in
order
to
continue
coverage
under
this
general
permit
after
it
expires.
In
lieu
of
providing
the
information
required
by
paragraph
4.
of
the
section,
the
permittee
may
submit
a
list
of
facilities
covered
by
the
general
permit
and
their
associated
permit
coverage
numbers.
Facilities
that
have
not
submitted
another
NOI
under
the
permit
by
the
expiration
date
cannot
become
authorized
to
discharge
under
any
continuation
of
this
NPDES
general
permit.
All
NOI's
from
permittees
requesting
coverage
under
a
continued
permit
should
be
sent
by
certified
mail
to:
Director,

Management
