County, North Carolina. The Order responds to an October 3, 2014, 
petition requesting that EPA object to the proposed initial permit 
number 10097T01. This permitting action was issued by the North 
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR). The 
Order constitutes a final action on the petition addressed therein.

[[Page 16852]]

and, as appropriate, the authority to object to operating permits 
proposed by state permitting authorities under title V of the CAA, 42 
U.S.C. 7661-7661f. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA and 40 CFR 70.8(d) 
authorize any person to petition the EPA Administrator to object to a 
title V operating permit within 60 days after the expiration of EPA's 
45-day review period if EPA has not objected on its own initiative. 
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 these issues during the comment period or the 
grounds for the issues arose after this period. Pursuant to sections 
307(b) and 505(b)(2) of the CAA, a petition for judicial review of 
those parts of the Order that deny issues in the petition may be filed 
in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit 
within 60 days from the date this notice is published in the Federal 
Register.
    Petitioners submitted a petition requesting that EPA object to the 
proposed CAA title V operating permit no. 10097T01 issued by NCDENR to 
PNG. Petitioners claim that this permitting action: Failed to meet the 
requirements for adequate public notice; grossly underestimates 
emissions and, thus, fails to assure compliance with national ambient 
air quality standards and state implementation standards; fails to 
include adequate monitoring to assure compliance with applicable 
opacity standards; and failed to include an environmental justice 
analysis.
    On March 20, 2019, the Administrator issued an Order denying the 
petition. The Order explains EPA's basis for denying the petition.

    Dated: April 11, 2019.
Mary S. Walker,
Acting Regional Administrator, Region 4.
