| E9-23633 | Assessment of Anticipated Visibility Improvements at Surrounding Class I Areas and Cost Effectiveness of Best Available Retrofit Technology for Four Corners Power Plant and Navajo Generating Station: Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking | Proposed Rule | EPA is announcing an extension of the public comment period on our Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) regarding our assessment of anticipated visibility improvements at surrounding Class I areas and the cost effectiveness of Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) for Four Corners Power Plant and Navajo Generating Station (August 28, 2009). Through this notice, EPA extends the close of the ANPR comment period from September 28, 2009 until October 28, 2009. EPA is extending the comment period as a result of requests from the Hopi Tribe and the Navajo Nation for additional time to comment on the ANPR. EPA is granting the requests from the Hopi Tribe and the Navajo Nation notwithstanding the earlier denials by EPA of several extension requests made by other stakeholders. The basis for those earlier denials is that the ANPR is not a rulemaking action and therefore does not make any decisions or propose any control options as BART. Additionally, the ANPR is limited in scope and focused only on variables that were used to model visibility improvement at the surrounding Class I areas and the cost effectiveness of different control options. Therefore, EPA determined that a 30-day comment period in advance of our actual proposal was adequate, as the ANPR by itself only seeks the submittal of information. However, because the Hopi Tribe and the Navajo Nation are affected tribes located in the area impacted by the Navajo Generating Station and Four Corners Power Plant, EPA is extending the comment period to provide greater opportunity for discussion between EPA and affected Tribes. EPA is also extending the public comment period for all other interested parties. Although the Hopi Tribe and the Navajo Nation requested a longer extension period, EPA believes a 30-day extension is sufficient, as there will be ample additional opportunity to provide comments once we propose our BART determinations for the Four Corners Power Plant and Navajo Generating Station in the near future. | 2009-09-30 | 2009 | 9 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/09/30/E9-23633/assessment-of-anticipated-visibility-improvements-at-surrounding-class-i-areas-and-cost | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-09-30/pdf/E9-23633.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is announcing an extension of the public comment period on our Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) regarding our assessment of anticipated visibility improvements at surrounding Class I areas and the cost effectiveness of Best Available... |
