A. What Is the Background Information?

    The Mille Lacs Band Corporate Commissions owns and operates Grand 
Casino Mille Lacs, which is located on lands held in trust for the 
Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians in Onamia, Minnesota. Emission units 
at Grand Casino Mille Lacs consist of five diesel-fired generators. 
Four diesel-fired generators are used for backup power and peak load

emergency backup power generation.
    On February 24, 2014, the Mille Lacs Band Corporate Commission 
submitted an operating permit renewal application pursuant to 40 CFR 
part 71. On April 9, 2014, EPA determined that the submitted 
application was timely and complete and, therefore, granted an 
application shield pursuant to 40 CFR 71.7(b). The application shield 
allowed the facility to continue to operate pursuant to the terms and 
conditions of its expiring operating permit without violating the Act's 
prohibition on operation without a permit, until EPA took final action 
on the permit renewal application.
    On July 11, 2014, EPA requested additional information required to 
make a final decision on the permit application. The Mille Lacs Band 
Corporate Commission submitted its response to the request for 
additional information on August 4, 2014.

were not reasonably foreseeable during the public comment period on the 
draft permit. The 30-day period during which a person may seek review
