Acid Rain Program: Notice of Exception to Regulations

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of exception to regulations (40 CFR Part 72).

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

SUMMARY: Title IV of the Clean Air Act authorizes the Environmental 
Protection Agency (EPA) to establish the Acid Rain Program. During 
Phase I (1995-1999) of the program, units subject to sulfur dioxide 
emissions limitations are required to account for any emissions 
resulting from reduced utilization of the units and shifting of 
electric generation from the units to other units or generators. Each 
unit is included in a dispatch system, and the accounting for reduced 
utilization is conducted on a dispatch-system basis. Under 
Sec. 72.33(b), a unit may submit an identification of dispatch system, 
i.e., a request to establish a given group of units as a dispatch 
system. The regulation requires the submission to be made by January 30 
of the first year for which the dispatch system is to be used for 
reduced utilization accounting.
    The Agency hereby gives notice that on May 3, 1995, Midwest Power 
System, Inc. submitted an identification of dispatch system to take 
effect starting in 1995 and a request for an exception to the January 
30 submission deadline. By letter dated May 31, 1995, the Agency 
granted the request and accepted the identification of dispatch system. 
The May 31, 1995 letter sets forth the basis for granting the request.
