In response to the EAB remand, we held a public hearing on December 10, 2013. We accepted public comments on the proposed PSD permit from November 8, 2013 until January 10, 2014. On April 25, 2014, we issued the final PSD permit, our responses to public comments, and other key documents relevant to the final PSD permit in accordance with 40 CFR 52.21 and 40 CFR part 124. In our correspondence and notifications regarding the final PSD permit, we stated that the final permit decision will become effective 30 days after the service of notice of the decision unless our decision is appealed to the EAB pursuant to 40 CFR 124.19. Three petitions were submitted to the EAB. On June 5, 2014, the EAB dismissed these petitions for review of the final PSD permit decision for lack of jurisdiction. EPA Region 9 has completed the remand proceedings in response to the EAB’s Order, pursuant to 40 CFR 124.19(l)(2), and is issuing the final permit decision granting PSD Permit No. SAC 12–01 to SPI for the SPIAnderson facility. All conditions of the PSD permit issued on April 25, 2014 are final and effective on June 6, 2014. Dated: June 9, 2014. Deborah Jordan, Director, Air Division, Region IX.
