Notice of Final Decision to Issue Federal Minor New Source Review Permits to Six Sources on the Uintah and Ouray Indian Reservation Owned and Operated by Anadarko Uintah Midstream, LLC, 3443-3444 [2019-01978]

Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 84, No. 29 / Tuesday, February 12, 2019 / Notices EPA is responsible for determining emission allowance allocations, a portion of each state’s emissions budget for the program for each control period is reserved in a NUSA (and in an additional Indian country NUSA in the case of states with Indian country within their borders) for allocation to certain units that would not otherwise receive allowance allocations. The procedures for identifying the eligible units for each control period and for allocating allowances from the NUSAs and Indian country NUSAs to these units are set forth in the CSAPR trading program regulations at 40 CFR 97.411(b) and 97.412 (NOX Annual), 97.511(b) and 97.512 (NOX Ozone Season Group 1), 97.611(b) and 97.612 (SO2 Group 1), 97.711(b) and 97.712 (SO2 Group 2), and 97.811(b) and 97.812 (NOX Ozone Season Group 2). Each NUSA allowance allocation process involves up to two rounds of allocations to eligible units, termed ‘‘new’’ units, followed by the allocation to ‘‘existing’’ units of any allowances not allocated to new units. In a notice of data availability (NODA) published in the Federal Register on December 6, 2018 (83 FR 62860), EPA provided notice of the preliminary identification of units eligible to receive second-round NUSA allocations for the 2018 control periods and described the process for submitting any objections. EPA received no objections in response to the December 6, 2018 NODA. This NODA provides notice of EPA’s calculations of the amounts of the second-round 2018 NUSA allocations to the previously identified eligible new units and the allocations of the remaining allowances to existing units. The detailed unit-by-unit data and final allowance allocation calculations are set forth in Excel spreadsheets titled ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2018_NOx_Annual_ 2nd_Round_Final_Data_New_Units’’, ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2018_NOx_OS_2nd_ Round_Final_Data_New_Units’’, ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2018_SO2_2nd_ Round_Final_Data_New_Units’’, ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2018_NOx_Annual_ 2nd_Round_Final_Data_Existing_ Units’’, ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2018_NOx_ OS_2nd_Round_Final_Data_Existing_ Units’’, ‘‘CSAPR_NUSA_2018_SO2_ 2nd_Round_Final_Data_Existing_ Units’’, available on EPA’s website at https://www.epa.gov/csapr/csaprcompliance-year-2018-nusa-nodas. EPA notes that an allocation or lack of allocation of allowances to a given unit does not constitute a determination that CSAPR does or does not apply to the unit. EPA also notes that under 40 CFR 97.411(c), 97.511(c), 97.611(c), 97.711(c), and 97.811(c), allocations are subject to potential correction if a unit VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:30 Feb 11, 2019 Jkt 247001 to which allowances have been allocated for a given control period is not actually an affected unit as of the start of that control period. (Authority: 40 CFR 97.411(b), 97.511(b), 97.611(b), 97.711(b), and 97.811(b)) Dated: January 31, 2019. Reid P.

[FR Doc. 2019–01978 Filed 2–11–19; 8:45 am] SUMMARY: ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’ is used, we mean EPA. This supplementary information section is arranged as follows: Mille Lacs Corporate Commission owns and operates four diesel-fired generators used for peak load management and backup power at the Grand Casino Mille Lacs facility, located in Onamia, Minnesota. Mille Lacs Corporate Commission also owns and operates a fifth diesel-fired generator used for emergency backup power. The facility is located on land that is held in trust for the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. EPA is responsible for issuing and enforcing any air quality permits for the source until such time that the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe has EPA approval to do so. On March 13, 2018, EPA received from Mille Lacs Band Corporate Commission a significant permit modification application requesting a revision to the facility’s annual NOx compliance test requirements. The applicant also requested that the frequency of performance tests for the engines be increased from once in every 5 years to once in every 3 years. EPA approved the requested changes. On June 18, 2018, EPA published a draft revised title V permit and draft revised Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permit for public comment. The public comment period ended on July 23, 2018. EPA did not receive any comments on the permits. EPA issued the final permits for Grand Casino Mille Lacs, title V permit number 2018– 71MNML–001, and PSD permit number 2018–52MNML–001, on August 2, 2018. Pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(i)(2)(iii) and 40 CFR 124.15(b)(3), the permits became effective immediately upon issuance since EPA did not receive any comments on the permits. PO 00000 Frm 00034 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 B. Appeal of the Permits Pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(l), any person who filed comments on the draft permit may petition for administrative review subject to the requirements of 40 CFR 71.11(l). If no one filed comments on the draft permit and the final permit is identical to the permit as proposed, any person may petition for administrative review of the permit only to the extent that grounds for a petition have arisen that were not reasonably foreseeable during the public comment period on the draft permit. For Grand Casino Mille Lacs permit number 2018– 71MNML–001, the 30-day period during which a person may seek review under 40 CFR 71.11(l) began on August 7, 2018. Pursuant to 40 CFR 124.19(a)(2), any person who filed comments on the draft PSD permit may file a petition for review as provided in 40 CFR 124.19. Additionally, any person who failed to file comments may petition for administrative review of any permit conditions set forth in the final permit decision, but only to the extent that those final permit conditions reflect changes from the proposed draft permit. For Grand Casino Mille Lacs permit number 2018–52MNML–001, the 30-day period during which a person may seek review under 40 CFR 124.19 began on August 7, 2018. C. What is the purpose of this notice? EPA is notifying the public of the issuance of a revised title V operating permit and revised PSD construction permit to Mille Lacs Band Corporate Commission for Grand Casino Mille Lacs. EPA issued permit numbers 2018– 71MNML–001 and 2018–52MNML–001 on August 2, 2018 to Mille Lacs Band Corporate Commission, which became effective immediately upon issuance.
