date this notice appears in the Federal
Register, pursuant to section 307(b) of

The CAA
affords EPA a 45-day period to review,
and object, as appropriate, to a title V
operating permit proposed by a state
permitting authority. Section 505(b)(2)
of the CAA authorizes any person to
petition the EPA Administrator, within
60 days after the expiration of this
review period, to object to a title V
operating permit if EPA has not done so.
Petitions must be based only on
objections to 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 such
objections during the comment period

or unless the grounds for the objection
arose after this period.
The Petitioners maintain that the
SWEPCO title V operating permit is
inconsistent with the Act based on the
following contentions: (1) The proposed
permit for the Pirkey Power Plant
impermissibly provides for exemptions
from title V applicable requirements
during planned maintenance, startup,
and shutdown (MSS) activities; and (2)
the proposed permit must clarify that
credible evidence may be used by
citizens to enforce the terms and
conditions of the permit. The claims are
described in detail in Section IV of the
Order.
Pursuant to sections 505(b) and 505(e)
of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7661d(b)
and (e)) and 40 CFR 70.7(g) and 70.8(d),
the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality (TCEQ) has 90
days from the receipt of the
Administrator’s order to resolve the
objections identified in Claim 1 of the
Order and submit a proposed
determination or termination,
modification, or revocation and
reissuance of the SWEPCO title V
permit in accordance with EPA’s
objection. The Order issued on February
3, 2016 responds to the Petition and
explains the basis for EPA’s decision.
Dated: February 24, 2016.
