Download as PDF Federal Register / Vol. 86, No. 28 / Friday, February 12, 2021 / Notices Tribe requested eligibility entails the exercise of Tribal regulatory authority under the CAA. ADDRESSES: The EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID No. EPA–R10–OAR–2020–0563. The eligibility determination and other docket materials are available electronically at the EPA’s electronic public docket system, found at https:// www.regulations.gov. Please contact the individual listed in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section if you need assistance. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: India Young, Air and Radiation Division, EPA Region 10, 1200 Sixth Avenue—Suite 155, Seattle, Washington 98101, 206–553–1219, young.india@ epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Kalispel Indian Community of the Kalispel Reservation (Kalispel Tribe) is a Federally recognized tribe located in northeastern Washington. On April 21, 2020, the EPA received an application from the Kalispel Tribe pursuant to section 301(d), 42 U.S.C. 7601(d), of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and the EPA’s regulations at 40 CFR part 49. In their application, the Kalispel Tribe requested TAS eligibility for the nonregulatory provisions of six CAA provisions generally relating to grant funding (section 105 of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7405), interstate transport of air pollutants (sections 110(a)(2)(D) and 126 of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2)(D) and 7426), participation in certain interstate and regional air quality bodies (sections 169B and 176A of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7492 and 7506a), and receiving notices of, reviewing, and/or commenting on certain nearby permitting and sources (section 505(a)(2) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661d(a)(2)). None of the provisions for which the Kalispel Tribe requested eligibility entails the exercise of Tribal regulatory authority under the CAA. The Kalispel Tribe’s TAS application thus does not request, and the EPA’s decision to approve the application does not approve, Tribal authority to implement any CAA regulatory program or to otherwise implement Tribal regulatory authority under the CAA. In accordance with the EPA’s regulations, as part of its review process, the EPA notified all appropriate governmental entities and the public of the Kalispel Tribe’s TAS application. In these notices, the EPA specified the geographic boundaries of the Kalispel Reservation as identified in the Kalispel Tribe’s application. The EPA afforded the appropriate governmental entities and the public over 37 days to provide written comments regarding any dispute VerDate Sep<11>2014 17:27 Feb 11, 2021 Jkt 253001 concerning the boundary of the Kalispel Reservation. No one provided comments disputing the boundaries of the Kalispel Reservation. On December 1, 2020, the EPA determined that the Kalispel Tribe has met the requirements of section 301(d)(2) and 40 CFR 49.6 and are therefore approved to be treated in the same manner as a state as follows: • Section 105 of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7405: Status as a ‘‘State’’ such that the Kalispel Tribe is eligible for the maximum funding available to an ‘‘air pollution control agency.’’ • Section 110(a)(2)(D) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7410(a)(2)(D): Status as an affected ‘‘other State’’ in the context of other states’ implementation plans. • Section 126 of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7426: Status as a ‘‘nearby State’’ in the context of interstate pollution from major stationary sources. • Section 169B of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7492: Status as a ‘‘State’’ in the context of interstate visibility commissions. • Section 176A of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7506a: Status as a ‘‘State’’ in the context of interstate transport commissions. • Section 505(a)(2) of the CAA, 42 U.S.C. 7661d(a)(2): Status as an ‘‘affected State’’ in the context of Title V permits issued by other states. The EPA’s decision also concludes that, for the purposes of this eligibility determination, the Kalispel Tribe’s jurisdiction extends to the exterior boundaries of the original, formal Kalispel Reservation established and described by Executive Order 1904, signed by President Woodrow Wilson on March 23, 1914, as well as the United States Surveyor General’s Map of the Kalispel Indian Reservation dated May 26, 1919, included in the docket for this notice. A detailed explanation of the EPA’s approval of the Kalispel Tribe’s TAS application may be found in the docket for this notice. Judicial Review: Pursuant to section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7607(b)(1)), Petitioners may seek judicial review of this approval in the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. Any petition for judicial review shall be filed within 60 days from the date this notice appears in the Federal Register, i.e., not later than April 13, 2021. Authority: 42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.

[FR Doc. 2021–02888 Filed 2–11–21; 8:45 am] BILLING CODE 6560–50–P ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL10020–16–Region 3] Clean Air Act Operating Permit Program; Petition To Object to the Title V Permit for Northampton Generating Co., LP; Pennsylvania Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice of final action. AGENCY: Pursuant to the Clean Air Act (CAA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Administrator signed an Order, dated July 15, 2020, partially granting and partially denying a petition to object to a state operating permit issued by the Pennsylvania Department of Environment Protection (PADEP). The Order responds to a January 8, 2020 petition, relating to Northampton Generating Co., LP’s Northampton Plant (Northampton), an electric utility generation facility located in Northampton County, Pennsylvania. The petition was submitted by the Sierra Club and the Clean Air Council. This Order constitutes final action on that petition requesting that the Administrator object to the issuance of the proposed CAA title V permit. DATES: February 12, 2021. ADDRESSES: Copies of the final Order, the petition, and all pertinent information relating thereto can be requested by electronic mail to the address set forth below in the FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT section. The final Order is also available electronically at the following website: https://www.epa.gov/title-v-operatingpermits/title-v-petition-database. FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Emily Bertram, Permits Branch, Air and Radiation Division, EPA Region III, (215) 814–5273, bertram.emily@epa.gov. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA affords EPA a 45-day period to review and object to, as appropriate, operating permits proposed by state permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) of the CAA authorizes any person to petition SUMMARY: VerDate Sep<11>2014 18:58 Feb 11, 2021 Jkt 253001 the EPA Administrator within 60 days after the expiration of this review period to object to a state operating permit if EPA has not done so. Petitions must be based only on objections raised with reasonable specificity during the public comment period, unless the petitioner demonstrates that it was impracticable to raise these issues during the comment period or that the grounds for objection or other issue arose after the comment period. In the Northampton petition (numbered III–2020–1), the Petitioners sought EPA objection on the following issues: (Claim I) the Northampton permit’s monitoring regime did not ensure that emissions restrictions are met; (Claim II) PADEP erred in allowing Northampton to modify its permit using the less stringent minor modification process. PADEP issued the final Northampton operating permit (permit No. 48–00021) on December 16, 2019. The Order explains the reasons behind EPA’s decision to partially grant and partially deny the petition for objection. Pursuant to section 505(b)(2) of the CAA, the Petitioner may seek judicial review of those portions of the Northampton petition which EPA denied in the United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit. Any petition for review shall be filed within 60 days of this notice in accordance with the requirements of section 307 of the CAA. Dated: February 8, 2021.
