| E9-20826 | 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 | The Environmental Protection Agency is providing an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) concerning the anticipated visibility improvements and the cost effectiveness for different levels of air pollution controls as Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) for two coal-fired power plants, Four Corners Power Plant (FCPP) and Navajo Generating Station (NGS), located on the Navajo Nation. This ANPR briefly describes the provisions in Part C, Subpart II of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act), EPA's implementing regulations, and the Tribal Authority Rule (TAR) for promulgating Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) to protect visibility in national parks and wilderness areas known as Class I Federal areas. The specific purpose of this ANPR is for EPA to collect additional information that we may consider in modeling the degree of anticipated visibility improvements in the Class I areas surrounding FCPP and NGS and for determining whether BART controls are cost effective at this time. EPA is also requesting any additional information that any person believes the agency should consider in promulgating a FIP establishing BART for FCPP and NGS. EPA intends to publish separate FIPs proposing our BART determinations for FCPP and NGS approximately 60 days after receiving information from this ANPR. EPA will not respond to comments or information submitted in response to this ANPR. The information submitted in response to this ANPR will be used in developing the subsequent proposed FIPs containing our detailed BART determinations for FCPP and NGS. The FCPP and NGS FIP proposals following this ANPR will request further public comment. During the public comment period for the proposed FIPs containing the FCPP and NGS BART determinations, EPA intends to hold separate public hearings at locations to be determined near each facility. EPA will not hold a public hearing for this ANPR. This ANPR also serves to begin EPA's 60-day consultation period with the Federal Land Managers (FLMs) within the Departments of Interior and Agriculture. Information necessary to initiate consultation is contained in this ANPR and supporting documentation included in the docket for this ANPR. EPA will address any matters raised by the FLMs in this 60-day consultation period when we propose the BART FIPs for FCPP and NGS. | 2009-08-28 | 2009 | 8 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/08/28/E9-20826/assessment-of-anticipated-visibility-improvements-at-surrounding-class-i-areas-and-cost | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-08-28/pdf/E9-20826.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The Environmental Protection Agency is providing an Advanced Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (ANPR) concerning the anticipated visibility improvements and the cost effectiveness for different levels of air pollution controls as Best Available Retrofit... |
