petition, dated February 2, 2001, was from Mr. Timothy Henderson 
representing Waste Energy Partners Limited Partnership, eco/
Springfield, L.L.C., and Wasatch Energy Systems (f.k.a. Davis County 
Solid Waste Management and Energy Recovery Special Service District), 
which subsequently withdrew its petition (collectively Industry 
Petitioners). The second petition, dated February 5, 2001, was from the 
New York Public Interest Research Group, Inc. (NYPIRG). The petitions 
and all available information submitted by the petitioners along with 
information contained in the rulemaking docket (Docket No. A-98-18) 
were considered in reaching a decision on the merits of the petitions. 
After careful consideration, the EPA Administrator determined to deny 
the petitions and the petitioners were notified of this fact in 
separate letters signed by Jeffrey R. Holmstead, Assistant 
Administrator for the Office of Air and Radiation, and dated August 7, 
2002 (Industry Petitioners) and August 14, 2002 (NYPIRG). Copies of the 
denial letters are contained in Docket No. A-98-18.
