Clean Air Act Operating Permit
Program; Petition for Objection to
State Operating Permit for Hunter
Power Plant (Emery County, Utah)
Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of final order on petition
to object to state operating permit.
AGENCY:
The EPA Administrator
signed an order dated September 27,
2022, denying the petition submitted by
the Sierra Club requesting that EPA
object to the issuance of the Clean Air
Act (CAA) title V operating permit (no.
1500101004) issued to the PacifiCorp
Hunter Power Plant in Castle Dale,
Emery County, Utah, by the Utah
Department of Environmental Quality,
Division of Air Quality (UDAQ). The
September 27, 2022 Order responds to
Sierra Club’s January 14, 2022 petition
regarding title V operating permit no.
1500101004 (2021 Permit). The Order
constitutes final action on the petition.
ADDRESSES: You may review copies of
the Order and petition electronically at
https://www.epa.gov/title-v-operatingpermits/title-v-petition-database. To
reduce the risk of COVID–19
transmission, for this action we do not
plan to offer hard copy review of these

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The CAA
affords EPA a 45-day period to review
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

days after the expiration of EPA’s 45day 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 Act, a petition for
judicial review of those portions 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
document appears in the Federal
Register.
State Operating Permit for Hunter
Power Plant (Emery County, Utah)
EPA received petitions from the Sierra
Club, requesting that EPA object to the
2016, 2020, and 2021 operating permits
for the Hunter Power Plant. Among
other things, the Sierra Club claims that
the operating permit is deficient because
it does not include Prevention of
Significant Deterioration (PSD)
permitting requirements. More
specifically, the Sierra Club asserts that
the operating permit should include
Best Achievable Control Technology
requirements for nitrogen oxide, sulfur
dioxide and particulate matter, terms
and conditions necessary to adequately
protect national ambient air quality
standards, and PSD increments. EPA
denied the 2016 petition on October 16,
2017; however, the Sierra Club sought
judicial review of a portion of the 2017
Order in the United States Court of
Appeals for the Tenth Circuit. On July
2, 2020, the Tenth Circuit issued a
decision vacating and remanding the
2017 Order. EPA’s January 13, 2021
Order responded to the Tenth Circuit’s
decision, replaced the vacated portion
of EPA’s 2017 Order, and separately
responded to the 2020 Petition. On
October 1, 2021, UDAQ transmitted a
proposed permit to EPA for the
Agency’s 45-day review. EPA did not
object during this period. On November
19, 2021, UDAQ finalized the Permit.
On January 14, 2022, the Sierra Club
filed the Petition that this order
responds to.
On September 27, 2022, the
Administrator issued an Order denying
the January 14, 2022 Petition. The Order
explains EPA’s basis for denying the
petition.

180-Day Freeze on Applications for
New or Modified Authorizations for the
12.7–13.25 GHz Band
Federal Communications
Commission.
ACTION: Announcement of temporary
freeze.
AGENCY:
In this document, the
International, Public Safety and
Homeland Security, Media, and
Wireless Telecommunications Bureaus
(Bureaus) announce a 180-day freeze,
effective September 19, 2022 on the
filing of new or modification
applications for licenses or other
authorizations in the 12.7–12.75 GHz
and 12.75–13.250 GHz bands
(collectively, 12.7 GHz band). The
purpose of this temporary freeze is to
preserve the current landscape of
authorized operations in the 12.7 GHz
band pending the Commission’s
consideration of actions that might
encourage the larger and more effective
use of this radio spectrum in the public
interest.
DATES: Filing of certain applications is
frozen as of September 19, 2022.

announce a 180-day freeze, effective as
of September 19, 2022, on the filing of
new or modification applications for
fixed satellite service (FSS) space
stations serving earth stations located in
the United States, FSS earth stations,
broadcast auxiliary services, cable
television relay service, and fixed
microwave services stations, in the 12.7
GHz band, except as otherwise noted
herein. The decision to impose this
temporary freeze is procedural in
nature, and therefore the freeze is
exempt from the notice and comment
and effective date requirements of the
Administrative Procedure Act.
Moreover, and in the alternative, the
Commission finds good cause to
conclude that prior notice and comment
or a delay in effectiveness would be
impractical, unnecessary, and contrary
to the public interest because it would
undermine the purposes of the freeze.
The Bureaus find that this temporary
freeze will help preserve the options
available to the Commission for
consideration of additional uses of the
band while limiting the potential for
speculative applications that might be
filed in anticipation of potential future
actions by the Commission. The
Commission or the Bureaus may extend
the freeze if doing so is deemed
necessary to avoid undermining the
purpose of the freeze. Any conditional
authority conferred by rule during the
pendency of an application is
inapplicable to an application that will
be dismissed under this freeze.1 Any
temporary authority to operate in the
12.7 GHz band at temporary locations
conferred by rule or license will remain
operative.2
Space stations. During the freeze, the
International Bureau will dismiss any
new space station license applications
and new requests for access to the U.S.
market through non-U.S.-licensed space
stations, or those parts of any such
applications and requests, that seek to
operate in the 12.7 GHz band.
Exceptions: The freeze does not apply to
new applications for space stations

the United States, applications for
modification of existing space station
authorizations,3 relocations of existing
space stations pursuant to the
Commission’s fleet management
