ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY

[FRL-6480-8]


Acid Rain Program: Draft Acid Rain compliance Plans

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of draft nitrogen oxides compliance plans.

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

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency is issuing draft nitrogen 
oxides (NOX) compliance plans in accordance with the Acid 
Rain Program regulations (40 CFR parts 72 and 76). Because the Agency 
does not anticipate receiving adverse comments, the draft 
NOX compliance plans are also being issued as a direct final 
action in the notice of final NOX compliance plans published 
elsewhere in today's Federal Register.

DATES: Comments on the draft NOX compliance plans proposed 
by this action must be received on or before December 29, 1999.

ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the 
NOX compliance plans, except information protected as 
confidential, may be viewed during normal operating hours at U.S. EPA 
Region 4, 100 Alabama Street SW, Atlanta, GA 30303.
    Comments. Send comments, requests for public hearings, and requests 
to receive notice of future actions concerning NOX 
compliance plans to Winston A. Smith, Director, Air, Pesticides, and 
Toxics Management Division (address above).
    Submit all comments in duplicate, 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 all units covered 
by the draft NOX compliance plans. All timely comments

[[Page 66633]]

will be considered, except those pertaining to standard provisions 
under 40 CFR 72.9 and issues not relevant to the draft NOX 
compliance plans.
    Hearings. To request a public hearing on the draft NOX 
compliance plans, submit a written request stating the issues proposed 
to be raised in the hearing and explaining how a hearing will 
contribute to the decision-making process. EPA may schedule a hearing 
if EPA finds that it will contribute to the decision-making process by 
clarifying significant issues affecting the draft NOX 
compliance plans.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Jenny Jachim, U.S. EPA Region 4, (404) 
562-9126.

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

    Dated: November 18, 1999.
Larry F. Kertcher,
Acting Director, Clean Air Markets Division, Office of Atmospheric 
Programs, Office of Air and Radiation.
