Acid Rain Program: Acid Rain Compliance Plan

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of a final nitrogen oxides compliance plan.

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

SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is issuing, as a
direct final action, a nitrogen oxides (NOX) compliance plan
in accordance with the Acid Rain Program regulations (40 CFR parts 72
and 76). Because the Agency does not anticipate receiving adverse
comments, the compliance plan is being issued as a direct final action.

DATES: The NOX compliance plan issued in this direct final
action will be final on December 27, 1999 unless significant, adverse
comments are received by December 16, 1999. If significant, adverse
comments are timely received on the NOX compliance plan in
this direct final action, the NOX compliance plan will be
withdrawn through a notice in the Federal Register.

ADDRESSES: Administrative Records. The administrative record for the
NOX compliance plan, except information protected as
confidential, may be viewed during normal operating hours at U.S. EPA
Region 9, 75 Hawthorne St., San Francisco, CA 94105.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steve Branoff, U.S. EPA Region 9,
(415) 744-1290.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Significant, adverse public comments
received on the NOX compliance plan in this direct final
action that are timely received will be addressed in a subsequent
approval or denial of a NOX compliance plan. Such approval
or denial will be based on the draft NOX compliance plan in
the notice of a draft NOX compliance plan that is published
elsewhere in today's Federal Register and that is identical to this
direct final action.
U.S. EPA is issuing, under 40 CFR 76.11, a NOX averaging
plan with which units 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 at the Four Corners utility
plant in New Mexico will comply for years 2000-2004. For each year
under the plan, the actual annual average rate for NOX shall
not exceed the alternative contemporaneous annual emission limitation
of 0.79 lb/mmBtu for unit 1, and 0.57 lb/mmBtu each for units 2, 3, 4
and 5. The actual annual heat input for units 1, 2, and 3 shall not be
greater than 17,000,000 mmBtu, 17,000,000 mmBtu, and 21,000,000 mmBtu
respectively, and not less than, for units 4 and 5, 45,000,000 mmBtu
each. Under the plan, the actual Btu-weighted annual average
NOX emission rate for units 1-5 shall be less than or equal
to the Btu-weighted annual average NOX emission rate for
units 1-5 had they each been operated, during the same period of time,
in compliance with the applicable emission limitations under 40 CFR
76.5, 76.6, or 76.7. The Designated Representative is John R. Denman.

Dated: October 22, 1999.
