Acid Rain Program: Notice of Draft Written Exemptions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of draft written exemptions.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is issuing draft 
written exemptions from Acid Rain permitting and monitoring 
requirements to 2 utility units at 2 plants in accordance with the Acid 
Rain Program regulations (40 CFR part 72). Because the Agency does not 
anticipate receiving adverse comments, the exemptions are also being 
issued as a direct final action in the notice of written exemptions 
published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.

DATES: Comments on the exemptions proposed by this action must be 
received on or before March 31, 1997 or 30 days after publication of a 
similar notice in a local newspaper.

ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the 
exemptions, except information protected as confidential, may be viewed 
during normal operating hours at the following location: EPA Region 4, 
100 Alabama St., SW, Atlanta, Georgia. Comments. Send comments to: 
Winston Smith, Director, Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division 
(address above).
    Submit comments in duplicate and identify the exemption 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 the unit covered by the exemption.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: R. Scott Davis, EPA Region 4, (404) 
562-9127.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no significant, adverse comments are 
timely received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to 
these draft written exemptions and the exemptions issued as a direct 
final action in the notice of written exemptions published elsewhere in 
today's Federal Register will automatically become final on the date 
specified in that notice. If significant, adverse comments are timely 
received on any exemption, that exemption in the notice of written 
exemptions will be withdrawn. Because the Agency will not institute a 
second comment period on this notice of draft written exemptions, any 
parties interested in commenting should do so during this comment 
period.
    For further information and a detailed description of the 
exemptions, see the information provided in the notice of written 
exemptions elsewhere in today's Federal Register.

    Dated: February 14, 1997.
Brian J. McLean,
Director, Acid Rain Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs, Office of 
Air and Radiation.
