SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On February 29, 2012, the EPA Region 4 
Office requested public comments on a proposal to issue an OCS air

March 30, 2012, EPA received comments from Murphy. Also, on April 4, 
2012, the EPA Region 4 Office requested public comments on a proposal 
to issue an OCS air permit for BHPB. During the public comment period, 
which ended on May 7, 2012, EPA received comments from BHPB. EPA 
carefully reviewed each of the comments submitted, and after 
consideration of the expressed view of all interested persons, the 
pertinent federal statutes and regulations, the applications and 
additional material relevant to the applications and contained in the 
administrative record, EPA made a decision in accordance with 40 CFR 
52.21, 40 CFR part 71 (in the case of BHPB) and 40 CFR part 55 to issue 
the final OCS permits.
    On March 23, 2012, EPA Region 4 requested public comments on a 
preliminary determination to grant Eni's request, pursuant to 40 CFR 
55.7, for an exemption for two crane engines from 40 CFR part 60 
subpart IIII (NSPS for Stationary Compression Ignition Internal 
Combustion Engines), which resulted in an OCS air permit minor 
modification for Eni. EPA received no comments during the public 
comment period, which ended on April 23, 2012. EPA determined in 
accordance with 40 CFR 52.21, 40 CFR part 71 and 40 CFR part 55 to 
grant Eni's exemption request and finalize the proposed minor permit 
modification.
    Under 40 CFR 124.19(f)(2), notice of any final Agency action 
regarding a prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) permit must 
be published in the Federal Register. Section 307(b)(1) of the CAA 
provides for review of final Agency action that is locally or 
regionally applicable in the United States Court of Appeals for the 
appropriate circuit. Such a petition for review of final Agency action 
must be filed within 60 days from the date of notice of such action in 
the Federal Register. For purposes of judicial review under the CAA, 
final Agency action occurs when a final PSD permit is issued or denied 
by EPA and Agency review procedures are exhausted, per 40 CFR 
124.19(f)(1).
    Any person who filed comments on the draft Murphy permit was 
provided the opportunity to petition the Environmental Appeals Board by 
June 11, 2012, and any person who filed comments on the draft BHPB 
permit was provided the opportunity to petition the Environmental 
Appeals Board by June 30, 2012. No petitions were submitted; therefore 
the Murphy permit became effective on June 11, 2012, and the BHPB 
permit became effective of June 30, 2012. No person filed comments on 
the draft Eni permit modification; therefore the permit became 
effective on May 11, 2012.

    Dated: July 5, 2012.
