SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Central Wayne Energy Limited Partnership 
owns and operates a municipal waste incinerator facility in Dearborn 
Heights, Michigan. On November 24, 1997, the Michigan Department of 
Environmental Quality issued Central Wayne a Prevention of Significant 
Deterioration (PSD) permit approving certain changes to its municipal 
waste incinerator facility. The permit was first issued on October 30, 
1997, but was then later revised and reissued on November 24 1997.
    Only one individual attempted to file a petition for review with 
the Environmental Appeals Board (Board) objecting to the issuance of 
the Central Wayne PSD permit. That petition was denied by the Board 
since it was not timely filed. The Board dismissed the petition with 
prejudice on February 26, 1998 (PSD Appeal No. 98-1). The Board also 
denied and dismissed the petitioner's Motion for Reconsideration on 
March 26, 1998.
    The time period established by the Permit Regulations at 40 CFR 
124.19 for petitioning the Administrator to review any condition of the 
permit decision has expired. Such a petition to the Administrator is, 
under 5 U.S.C. 704, a prerequisite to seek judicial review of the final 
agency action. No petitions for review of this permit have been timely 
filed with the Administrator.
    Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act, judicial review of 
the approval of this action is available, if at all, only by the filing 
of a petition for a review in the United States Sixth Circuit Court of 
Appeals within 60 days of publication of today's document. Under 
section 307(b)(2) of the Clean Air Act, the requirements, which are the 
subject of today's document, may not be challenged later in civil or 
criminal proceedings brought by EPA to enforce these requirements.
Jo Lynn Traub,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 5.
