The technical conference will be led by staff, and will be open for the public to attend. The conference will include a background presentation by New York Independent System Operator, Inc. as well as technical questions from Commission Staff. There 1 New York Indep. Sys. Operator, Inc., 144 FERC ¶ 61,126 (2013). VerDate Mar<15>2010 17:24 Feb 25, 2014 Jkt 232001 will also be opportunities for comments and questions from other conference attendees. The specific agenda and procedures to be followed at the conference will be announced by staff at the opening of the conference. Attendees should be prepared to discuss the following: 1. Whether Zone K (Long Island) can be modeled as export constrained Load Zone. 2. Whether Zone K should be included as a nested zone within the current G–J Locality so that the larger zone would become a G–K Locality. If not, what rationale supports allowing Zone K to be a nested zone within NYCA, but not a nested zone within the G–J Locality? Specifically, how can generation capacity located in Zone K be made available to serve the reliability needs of Zones A–F but not the reliability needs of Zones G–J? 3. Whether sufficient transmission capability exists to allow at least some capacity located in Zone K to reliably serve the needs of loads in Zones G–J. If so, what limits, if any, should be placed on the amount of capacity in Zone K that could be relied upon to serve the needs of loads in Zones G–J? How should those limits be determined? The January 28, 2014 Notice of Technical Conference stated that there will be a free webcast of the conference available. We will not be able to provide webcasting for this event.

permits proposed by state permitting authorities under title V of the 
CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661-7661f. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA and 40 CFR 
70.8(d) authorize any person to petition the EPA Administrator to 
object to a title V operating permit within 60 days after 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.
    The petitioner submitted a petition regarding Hu Honua on August 
26, 2011, requesting that EPA object to the CAA title V operating 
permit, identified as Covered Source Permit Number 0724-01-C. The 
Petitioner alleged that the permit was not consistent with the CAA 
because: (1) EPA raised objectionable issues in its comment letter on 
the proposed permit; (2) the permit fails to ensure compliance with 
criteria air pollutant emission limits; (3) the permit fails to ensure 
compliance with Best Available Control Technology (BACT) requirements 
for CO; (4) the permit fails to ensure compliance with hazardous air 
pollutant (HAP) emission limits; (5) the baghouse is not adequately 
described or monitored; (6) the permit fails to ensure compliance with 
applicable state law and State Implementation Plan (SIP) requirements; 
(7) the permit fails to ensure compliance with Maximum Achievable 
Control Technology (MACT) requirements for major sources of HAPs; (8) 
the permit impermissibly exempts startups and shutdowns from emissions 
limits; (9) the facility's biomass handling, chipping, and storage 
operations do not qualify as an ``insignificant activity''; (10) the 
permit fails to address emissions from trona or lime and ash handling; 
(11) HDOH failed to address ammonia slip and sulfuric acid mist 
emissions; (12) HDOH failed to directly regulate and evaluate the 
impacts of PM2.5; and (13) HDOH failed to adequately respond 
to significant public comments.
    On February 7, 2014, the Administrator issued an Order partially 
granting and partially denying the petition. The Order explains EPA's 
rationale for partially granting and partially denying the petition.

    Dated: February 11, 2014.

Regional Administrator, Region IX.
