Acid Rain Program: Notice of Draft Written Exemptions

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of draft written exemptions.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is issuing draft

written exemptions from Acid Rain permitting and monitoring

requirements to 55 utility units at 32 plants in accordance with the

Acid Rain Program regulations (40 CFR part 72). Because the Agency does

not anticipate receiving adverse comments, the exemptions are also

being issued as a direct final action in the notice of written

exemptions published elsewhere in today's Federal Register.

DATES: Comments on the exemptions proposed by this action must be

received on or before December 5, 1994.

ADDRESSES: Comments. Send comments to the following addresses:

For plants in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, and Nebraska, William A.

Spratlin, Director, Air and Toxics Division, EPA Region 7, 726

Minnesota Ave., Kansas City, KS 66101.

For plants in Michigan and Wisconsin: David Kee, Director, Air and

Radiation Division, EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson Blvd., Chicago, IL

60604.

Submit comments in duplicate and identify the exemption to which

the comments apply, 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 the unit covered by the exemption.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: For plants in Iowa, Kansas, Missouri,

and Nebraska, Jon Knodel, (913) 551-7599, EPA Region 7; for plants in

Michigan and Wisconsin, Beth Valenziano, (312) 886-2703, EPA Region 5.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: If no significant, adverse comments are

timely received, no further activity is contemplated in relation to

these draft written exemptions and the exemptions issued as a direct

final action in the notice of written exemptions 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 any exemption, that exemption in the notice of written

exemptions will be withdrawn and all public comment received on that

exemption will be addressed in a subsequent issuance or denial of

exemption based on the relevant exemption in this notice of draft

written exemptions. Because the Agency will not institute a second

comment period on this notice of draft written exemptions, any parties

interested in commenting should do so during this comment period.

For further information and a detailed description of the

exemptions, see the information provided in the notice of written

exemptions elsewhere in today's Federal Register.

Dated: October 31, 1994.

Brian J. McLean,

Director, Acid Rain Division, Office of Atmospheric Programs, Office of

Air and Radiation.
