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_

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

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.

Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice.
AGENCY:
This notice announces that
the Environmental Protection Agency
(EPA) issued Federal operating permits
to the Mille Lacs Band Corporate
Commission for Grand Casino Mille
Lacs. The source is in Onamia,
Minnesota on lands held in trust for the
Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe Indians. The
permits authorize a change in the testing
requirements for oxides of nitrogen
(NOX) emissions from three existing
diesel-fired internal combustion
engines. These engines are used for peak
load management as well as for backup
power. NOx performance test
requirements are increased in frequency
from once in five years to once in three
years.

A. What is the background information?
[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.

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.
