New Source Review--90-Day Review and Report to the President

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice; correction.

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

SUMMARY: On Wednesday, June 27, 2001, EPA published two notices in the 
Federal Register addressing the Report to the President on the impacts 
of the New Source Review (NSR) permitting program on utility and 
refinery capacity, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. The 
first notice, at 66 FR 34183, was a notice of public meetings. The 
second notice, at 66 FR 34191, was a notice of availability and 
opportunity to comment on a background paper. The EPA is issuing this 
notice to make several corrections to those two notices. The 
corrections address: (1) Times for additional evening sessions at each 
of four public meetings, (2) an incorrect fax number for the public 
docket, and (3) a clarification that the NEPD group recommended, but 
did not direct, the 90-day review of NSR.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Mr. Michael Ling, Office of the 
Director, Information Transfer and Program Integration Division (MD-
12), U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Research Triangle Park, NC 
27711; telephone number 919-542-4729.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On June 27, 2001, the Environmental 
Protection Agency published two notices in the Federal Register that 
deal with the Agency's review of the New Source Review permitting 
program to assess its impact on new utility and refinery generation 
capacity, energy efficiency, and environmental protection. The 
``Summary'' sections of each of the notices incorrectly state that 
``The National Energy Policy Development Group, under the direction of 
Vice President Richard Cheney, has directed EPA, in consultation with 
the Secretary of Energy and other relevant agencies, to review the 
Agency's New Source Review (NSR) program, including administrative 
interpretation and implementation, and report to the President within 
90 days on the impact of the regulations on investment in new utility 
and refinery generation capacity, energy efficiency, and environmental 
protection.'' Because the National Energy Policy Development Group does 
not have authority to issue direction to EPA, this document corrects 
the notices to indicate that this review is being done under the 
direction of the EPA Administration. The first and third corrections in 
this notice address this issue.
    The second correction in this notice identifies additional hours 
for the public meetings on the EPA's review of NSR. In addition to the 
day sessions identified in the June 27 notice, there will also be 
evening sessions from 6:30 to 7:30 each evening in each of the four 
cities for which public meetings are scheduled. Locations are also 
provided for the evening sessions. The most current information about 
the public meetings is available on the Internet at the following 
address: http://www.epa.gov/air/nsr-review.
    Finally, the fourth correction in this notice corrects an 
improperly reported fax number for use submitting comments to the Air 
and Radiation
