Acid Rain NOX Emission Reduction Program--Permit 
Modification for Alternative Emission Limitation

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of permit modification adopting Alternative Emission 
Limitation.

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

SUMMARY: Under Title IV of the Clean Air Act, EPA established the Acid 
Rain NOX Emission Reduction Program to reduce the adverse 
effects of acidic deposition. EPA adopted nitrogen oxides ( 
NOX) emission limits and issued permits to affected sources. 
EPA is issuing Acid Rain permit modifications for two units at a 
source. Each permit modification adds a new NOX emission 
limitation, i.e., Alternative Emission Limitation for

[[Page 1125]]

 NOX emissions to the permit for the source. The Alternative 
Emission Limitations are less stringent than the standard limit for 
this type of unit but are the minimum rate that the units can achieve 
during long-term dispatch operation with low NOX burners.

ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the 
permit modification, except information protected as confidential, may 
be viewed during normal operating hours at the following location: EPA 
Region 3, 1650 Arch Street 14th floor, Philadelphia, PA.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Linda Miller, EPA Region 3, (215) 814-
2068.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In today's action, EPA is issuing permit 
modifications that add to a permit Alternative Emission Limitations for 
NOX emissions for two units in accordance with Parts 72 and 
76 of the Acid Rain Program regulations. The units involved, Morgantown 
Units 1 and 2, are located in Charles County, Maryland and will be 
required to meet an annual average emissions limit for NOX 
of 0.63 lb/mmBtu and 0.64 lb/mmBtu, respectively, instead of the 
otherwise applicable standard limit of 0.45 lb/mmBtu. The units' 
designated representative is James S. Potts.
