CFR Citation: 40 CFR Part 69
DOCUMENT ID: [Region 2 Docket No. VI 5-265 A; FRL-7605-5]
NOTICE: Part IV
DOCUMENT ACTION: Proposed rule.
SUBJECT CATEGORY: Special Exemption From Requirements of the Clean Air Act for the Territory of United States Virgin Islands
DATES: Written comments must be received on or before January 30, 2004.
DOCUMENT SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to approve a July 21, 2003, petition (petition), from the Governor of the Virgin Islands (US VI), which seeks an exemption of the Clean Air Act (CAA) section 165(a) requirement to obtain a Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit to construct prior to commencing construction of a new gas turbine, Unit 23, at the Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority's (VIWAPA's) St. Thomas facility. This exemption will allow for the construction, but not the operation, of Unit 23 prior to issuance of a final PSD permit.
In the same separate part of this Federal Register, EPA is also approving the petition as a direct final rule without prior proposal because the Agency views this action as noncontroversial and anticipates no adverse comments. A detailed rationale for the approval is set forth in the direct final rule.
If EPA receives no adverse comments, EPA will not take further action on this proposed rule. If EPA receives adverse comments, EPA will withdraw the direct final rule and it will not take effect. EPA will address all public comments in a subsequent final rule based on this proposed rule. The EPA will not institute a second comment period on this action. Any parties interested in commenting on this action should do so at this time.
SUMMARY: Environmental Protection Agency,
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
For additional information see the direct final rule which is located in the same separate part of this Federal Register. Dated: December 23, 2003.
Michael O. Leavitt,
Administrator.
