Units
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of denial of petitions for reconsideration.

SUMMARY: In February 2001, EPA received two petitions for
reconsideration of the emission guidelines for existing small municipal
waste combustion (MWC) units (40 CFR part 60 subpart BBBB). The first
[[Page 54422]]
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.
