BILLING CODE 6717-01-M ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY [FRL-6850-7] Acid Rain NO <sup>X</sup> Emission Reduction Program—Permit Modification for Alternative Emission Limitation AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Notice of permit modification adopting Alternative Emission Limitation. SUMMARY: Under Title IV of the Clean Air Act, EPA established the Acid Rain NO <sup>X</sup> Emission Reduction Program to reduce the adverse effects of acidic deposition. EPA adopted nitrogen oxides (NO <sup>X</sup> ) emission limits and issued permits to affected sources.
EPA is issuing an Acid Rain permit modification for one unit. The permit modification adds to a permit an Alternative Emission Limitation for NO <sup>X</sup> emissions for a Phase I unit in accordance with the Acid Rain Program regulations. The Alternative Emission Limitation is less stringent than the standard limit for this type of unit but is the minimum rate that the unit can achieve during long-term dispatch operation with low NO <sup>X</sup> burners. ADDRESSES: *Administrative Records* .
The administrative record for the permit modification, except information protected as confidential, may be viewed during normal operating hours at the following location: EPA Region 5, 77 West Jackson Boulevard, 18th floor, Chicago, IL.
