ACTION: Notice. AGENCY: SUMMARY: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA or Agency) Science Advisory Board (SAB) Staff Office is soliciting nominations for nationally recognized scientists to serve on an SAB expert Panel or Panels to conduct an evaluation of the complex scientific and technical issues that affect the causes, location, magnitude and duration of the hypoxic zone in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, as well as the priority and feasibility of management and control options in the Mississippi River Basin and Gulf to reduce it. DATES: Nominations should be submitted by March 10, 2006 per the instructions below.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Background: A large area of depleted oxygen occurs on the Louisiana continental shelf in the Gulf of Mexico on an annual basis. EPA is one of the Federal agencies with responsibilities PO 00000 Frm 00016 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 over activities in the Mississippi River Basin and the Gulf of Mexico and participates with other Federal agencies, state and tribes in the Mississippi River/ Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force. In 2001, the Mississippi River/ Gulf of Mexico Watershed Nutrient Task Force released the Action Plan for Reducing, Mitigating and Controlling Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (hereinafter called the Action Plan, available at: https://www.epa.gov/ msbasin/taskforce/actionplan.htm). This Action Plan was informed by the underlying science described in An Integrated Assessment of Hypoxia in the Northern Gulf of Mexico (hereinafter called the Integrated Assessment, available at https://www.nos.noaa.gov/ products/hypox_finalfront.pdf) developed by the National Science and Technology Council. Six technical reports available at https:// www.nos.noaa.gov/products/ pubs_hypox.html provided the scientific foundation for the Integrated Assessment. At the request of EPA’s Office of Water, the Science Advisory Board (SAB) is forming a Panel(s) to evaluate the state-of-the-science regarding the Gulf of Mexico hypoxic zone. The EPA Science Advisory Board (SAB) was established by 42 U.S.C. 4365 to provide independent scientific and technical advice, consultation, and recommendations to the EPA Administrator on the technical basis for Agency positions and regulations. This SAB Panel(s) will comply with the provisions of the Federal Advisory Committee Act (FACA) and all appropriate SAB procedures. Upon completion, the Panel’s report will be submitted to the SAB for final approval for transmittal to the EPA Administrator. The SAB Panel(s) will review all available and relevant information, including the Action Plan, the Integrated Assessment, and any new scientific literature that has appeared since they were released. The Panel(s) will address a variety of complex scientific and technical issues that affect the causes, location, magnitude and duration of the hypoxic zone, as well as the priority and feasibility of management and control options to reduce it. Such issues may include the biological, chemical, and physical characteristics of the Mississippi River Basin and the Gulf of Mexico; the sources, types, amounts, fate, transport, and dynamics of nutrients [nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), carbon (C), silicon (Si)] and oxygen in freshwater, estuarine, and marine systems; factors affecting the formation and persistence of hypoxia in E:\FR\FM\17FEN1.SGM 17FEN1

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final order on petition to object to State operating 
permit.

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

SUMMARY: This document announces that the EPA Administrator has 
responded to a joint citizen petition asking EPA to object to the 
operating permit issued to Camden County Energy Recovery Associates

appropriate circuit. Any petition for review shall be filed within 60

pursuant to section 307 of the Act.

ADDRESSES: You may review copies of the final order, the petition, and

Additionally, the final order for CCERA is available electronically at: 
https://www.epa.gov/region07/programs/artd/air/title5/petitiondb/

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Steven Riva, Chief, Permitting 
Section, Air Programs Branch, Division of Environmental Planning and 
Protection, EPA, Region 2, 290 Broadway, 25th Floor, New York, New York

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Act affords EPA a 45-day period to 
review, and object to as appropriate, operating permits proposed by 
State permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) of the Act authorizes 
any person to petition the EPA Administrator within 60 days after the 
expiration of this review period to object to State operating permits 
if EPA has not done so. Petitions must be based only on objections to 
the permit that were raised with reasonable specificity during the 
public comment period provided by the State, unless the petitioner 
demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise these issues during the 
comment period or the grounds for the issues arose after this period.
    On February 17, 2005, the EPA received a joint petition from 
Rutgers Environmental Law Clinic on behalf of various New Jersey 
Environmental Groups, requesting that EPA object to the issuance of the 
title V operating permit for CCERA. The petition raises issues 
regarding the permit application, the permit issuance process, and the 
permit itself. The petitioners assert that: (1) The public was denied 
access to the full administrative record during the public comment 
period; (2) the public notice announcement failed to include the 
required information under 40 CFR 70.7(h)(2); (3) the permit lacks a 
statement of basis; (4) the permit does not include a signed compliance 
certification that meets the requirements of 40 CFR 70.6(c)(5)(iii); 
(5) the permit does not include a compliance schedule; and (6) the 
permit was issued in violation of the state and federal environmental 
justice executive orders.
    On January 20, 2006, the Administrator issued an order partially 
granting and partially denying the petition on CCERA. The order 
explains the reasons behind EPA's conclusion that the NJDEP must reopen 
the permit to: (1) Provide an adequate statement to the public which 
provides documentation to support the factual basis for certain 
conditions, applicability determinations for source specific applicable 
requirements and monitoring and recordkeeping decisions; and (2) 
provide the rationale for selected monitoring where the underlying 
requirement does not specify periodic monitoring. The order also 
explains the reasons for denying the petitioners' remaining claims.

    Dated: February 6, 2006.

Acting Regional Administrator, Region 2.
