AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

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

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that on January 14, 2003 the 
Environmental Protection Agency issued an extension of the prevention 
of significant deterioration/new source review (PSD/NSR) permit to the 
applicant named above. EPA's Extension of the PSD/NSR permit grants 
approval to Muht-Hei, Inc. to construct and operate a solid waste

ENVIRONMENTAL APPEALS BOARD (EAB) APPEAL: An appeal to the 
Administrator

[[Page 11549]]

was sent by Mrs. Lory Rimoldi to the EAB for review of this permit. On 
January 14, 2003 the EAB dismissed Mrs. Rimolldi's petition for review. 
The EAB denied the petition for review because (1) Mrs. Rimoldi failed 
to indicate why Region IX's response to her concerns was erroneous or 
otherwise warranted review, (2) the speculative concerns regarding the 
general enforcement of a validly issued permit raised in her petition 
are outside the scope of the Board's review authority, and (3) the 
petition did not contain sufficient specificity as to why Region IX's 
decision was erroneous. The final extension became effective on January 
14, 2003 and will expire 18 months from that date on July 13, 2004.

DATES: The issuance of a PSD/NSR permit is reviewable under Section 
307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act and 40 CFR 124.19(f)(1) in the Ninth 
Circuit Court of Appeals. A petition for review must be filed by May 
12, 2003.

    Dated: February 26, 2003.
Andrew Steckel,
Director, Air Division, Region 9.
