SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
I. Additional Information About the

This proposed settlement agreement

within 60 days of submission, an
administrative petition to object to a
CAA Title V permit issued by the
Southwest Clean Air Agency to
Transalta Centralia Generation L.L.C. for
its coal-fired power plant in Centralia,
Washington. The proposed settlement
agreement states that EPA intends to
respond to the petition by April 29,
2011, and the Plaintiffs have agreed to
file a motion for voluntary dismissal of
the lawsuit (except for the claim for
E:\FR\FM\05MYN1.SGM

considerations that indicate that such
consent is inappropriate, improper,
inadequate, or inconsistent with the
requirements of the Act. Unless EPA or
the Department of Justice determines
that consent to this settlement
agreement should be withdrawn, the
terms of the settlement agreement will
be affirmed.

action (identified by Docket ID No.
EPA–HQ–OGC–2011–0348) contains a

agreement. The official public docket is
available for public viewing at the
Office of Environmental Information
(OEI) Docket in the EPA Docket Center,
EPA West, Room 3334, 1301
Constitution Ave., NW., Washington,
DC. The EPA Docket Center Public

An electronic version of the public
docket is available through https://
www.regulations.gov. You may use the
https://www.regulations.gov to submit or
view public comments, access the index
listing of the contents of the official
public docket, and to access those
documents in the public docket that are

system, select ‘‘search,’’ then key in the
appropriate docket identification
number.

policy is that public comments, whether
submitted electronically or in paper,
will be made available for public

unless the comment contains
copyrighted material, CBI, or other
information whose disclosure is
restricted by statute. Information
claimed as CBI and other information
whose disclosure is restricted by statute
is not included in the official public
docket or in the electronic public
docket. EPA’s policy is that copyrighted
material, including copyrighted material
contained in a public comment, will not
be placed in EPA’s electronic public
docket but will be available only in
printed, paper form in the official public
docket. Although not all docket
materials may be available
electronically, you may still access any
of the publicly available docket
materials through the EPA Docket
Center.
B. How and to whom do I submit
comments?
You may submit comments as
provided in the ADDRESSES section.
Please ensure that your comments are
submitted within the specified comment
period. Comments received after the
close of the comment period will be
marked ‘‘late.’’ EPA is not required to
consider these late comments.
If you submit an electronic comment,
EPA recommends that you include your
name, mailing address, and an e-mail
address or other contact information in
the body of your comment and with any
disk or CD ROM you submit. This
ensures that you can be identified as the
submitter of the comment and allows
EPA to contact you in case EPA cannot

Web site to submit comments to EPA
electronically is EPA’s preferred method
for receiving comments. The electronic
public docket system is an ‘‘anonymous
access’’ system, which means EPA will
not know your identity, e-mail address,

In contrast to EPA’s electronic public
docket, EPA’s electronic mail (e-mail)
system is not an ‘‘anonymous access’’
