\1\ None.

    The Federal operating permits issued by EPA to the facilities 
identified above incorporate all applicable air quality requirements 
and require monitoring to ensure compliance with these requirements. 
Submittal of periodic reports of all required monitoring, as well as 
submittal of an annual compliance certification, are also required. The 
Federal operating permits have a term not to exceed five years, and a 
timely application for permit renewal must be submitted to EPA prior to 
permit expiration in order to continue operation of the permitted 
source.
    The provisions of 40 CFR part 71 govern issuance of these permits. 
EPA published a notice and opportunity to comment in a newspaper of 
general circulation in the area of the facility for each permit issued. 
The EPA received public comments on the Transwestern Pipeline Company; 
El Paso Natural Gas Company; El Paso Field Services; and William Field 
Services, Los Mestenios Compressor Station permits. In accordance with 
the requirements of 40 CFR 71.11(j), EPA responded to all comments 
received on these permits. The EPA received no comments on the permit 
for William Field Services, Ojito. Pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(i), EPA 
provided copies of the final permits to the applicant and each person 
who submitted written comments on a permit or requested notice of the 
final permit decision. No one requested review of any of the final 
permits by the Environmental Appeals Board within 30 days of receipt of 
the final permits in accordance with 40 CFR 71.11(l). Thus, pursuant to 
40 CFR 71.11(i) and (l), the permits became final on the dates 
indicated in the chart above. A petition to the Environmental Appeals 
Board under 40 CFR 71.11(l) is, under 42 U.S.C. 307(b), a prerequisite 
to seeking judicial review of the final agency action. See 40 CFR 
71.11(l)(4).
    40 CFR 71.11(l)(7) requires notice of any final agency action 
regarding a Federal operating permit to be published in the Federal 
Register. This notice satisfies that requirement.

    Dated: July 21, 2004.

Acting Regional Administrator.
