SUMMARY: This notice announces that on March 23, 2015, pursuant to 
title V of the Clean Air Act, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) 
issued a Federal operating permit to G&K Services, Inc., for G&K

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: Throughout this document whenever ``we,'' 
``us,'' or ``our'' is used, we mean EPA.

A. What is the background information?

    G&K Services, Inc. owns and operates G&K Services, Inc.--Green Bay, 
which is located within the exterior boundaries of the Oneida Tribe of 
Indians of Wisconsin's tribal reservation in Green Bay, Wisconsin. 
Emission units at the source consist of nine industrial washers, six 
natural gas-fired industrial dryers, a natural gas-fired boiler, a 
natural gas-fired steam tunnel, and other processes. These emission 
units and other processes are used to process, clean, and recondition 
soiled industrial towels.
    On February 13, 2013, G&K Services, Inc. contacted EPA Region 5 to 
discuss the permitting status of G&K Services, Inc.--Green Bay, since a 
question had arisen regarding the identity of the proper permitting 
authority. Prior to the issuance of this permit, G&K Services, Inc.--
Green Bay operated according to the requirements of an operating permit 
issued by the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (WDNR). 
However, on December 4, 2001, EPA granted full approval of Wisconsin's 
title V operating permit program (see 66 FR 62951). In its action, EPA 
specifically exempted Indian country from the approval of Wisconsin's 
title V operating permit program (id. at 62953). Since the source is 
located within the exterior boundaries of the Oneida Tribe of Indians 
of Wisconsin's tribal reservation and EPA did not grant WDNR the 
authority to issue title V operating permits to sources located in 
Indian country, EPA determined that we are the permitting authority for 
this source.
    On June 14, 2013, G&K Services, Inc. submitted an application for 
an initial operating permit pursuant to the requirements of the Federal 
operating permit program codified at 40 CFR part 71. On July 17, 2013, 
G&K Services, Inc. submitted additional information to supplement its 
permit application. On July 25, 2013, EPA determined that the 
application was complete pursuant to 40 CFR 71.5(a)(2).
    On December 5, 2014, EPA issued a draft permit for a 30-day public 
comment period pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(d). The public comment period 
ended on January 5, 2015. During the public comment period, EPA 
received comments from G&K Services, Inc. requesting clarification of 
permit terms. EPA responded to all comments as required by 40 CFR 
71.11(j).

    EPA issued the final permit for G&K Services, Inc.--Green Bay, 
permit number V-ON-5500900021-2014-01, on March 23, 2015. Pursuant to 
40 CFR 71.11(i)(2), the final permit becomes effective on April 22, 
2015, unless review is requested pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(i)(1).

B. Appeal of the Permit

    Pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(l), any person who filed comments on the 
draft permit may petition the Environmental Appeals Board for 
administrative review of any condition of the permit decision. Any 
person who failed to file comments may petition for administrative 
review of the permit only on changes from the draft to the final permit 
or to the extent that new grounds for a petition have arisen that were 
not reasonably foreseeable during the public comment period on the 
draft permit. The 30-day period during which a person may seek review 
under 40 CFR 71.11(l) began on March 25, 2015, the date on which EPA 
notified G&K Services, Inc. of issuance of the permit.

C. What is the purpose of this notice?

    EPA is notifying the public of the issuance of a title V operating 
permit, permit number V-ON-5500900021-2014-01, issued on March 23, 
2015, to G&K Services, Inc. for its source in Green Bay, Wisconsin. The 
permit becomes effective on April 22, 2015, unless review is requested 
pursuant to 40 CFR 71.11(i)(1).
