SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 9, 2014, EPA Region 4 requested 
public comments on a preliminary determination to issue an OCS air 
permit modification for Statoil's existing OCS air quality permit 
numbered OCS-EPA-R4012. During the public comment period, which ended 
on August 8, 2014, the EPA received no comments.
    On June 20, 2014, EPA Region 4 requested public comments on a 
preliminary determination to issue an OCS air quality permit for the 
Anadarko EGOM (Eastern Gulf of Mexico) project. The EPA received a 
total of 14 comments from 1 commenter (Anadarko) during the public 
comment period, which closed on July 21, 2014.
    The EPA reviewed each comment received for the Anadarko EGOM 
project and prepared a Response to Comments document. Since no comments 
were received for the Statoil project, a Response to Comment document 
was not prepared. After consideration of the expressed view of all 
interested persons, the pertinent federal statutes and regulations, the 
applications and supplemental information submitted by the applicants, 
and additional material relevant to the applications and contained in 
the Administrative Records, the EPA made final determinations in 
accordance with 40 CFR parts 55 and 71 to issue final air permits.
    The EPA must follow the administrative procedures in 40 CFR part 
124 used to issue PSD permits

when processing OCS permit applications under Part 55. 40 CFR 
55.6(a)(3). The EPA must also follow the administrative procedures of 
40 CFR part 71 when issuing permits to OCS sources subject to Title V 
requirements. 40 CFR 71.4(d). Under 40 CFR 124.19(l)(3) and 40 CFR 
71.11(l)(7), notice of any final Agency action regarding a subject 
permit must be published in the Federal Register. Section 307(b)(1) of 
the CAA provides for review of final Agency action that is locally or 
regionally applicable in the United States Court of Appeals for the 
appropriate circuit. Such a petition for review of final Agency action 
must be filed on or before 11:59 p.m. on the 60th day from the date of 
notice of such action in the Federal Register. For purposes of judicial 
review under the CAA, final Agency action occurs when a final permit is 
issued or denied by the EPA and Agency review procedures are exhausted, 
per 40 CFR 124.19(l)(2) and 40 CFR 71.11(l)(5).
    The Statoil permit became effective on August 14, 2014.
    Any person who filed comments on the Anadarko draft permit was 
provided the opportunity to petition the Environmental Appeals Board by 
October 15, 2014. No petitions were submitted for this permit. 
Therefore, the Anadarko permit became effective on October 16, 2014.

    Dated: December 11, 2014.

Director, Air, Pesticides, and Toxics, Management Division, Region 4.
