NOTICE OF FINAL ACTION AND SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On September 30, 
2016, the EPA Region 9 issued a final permit decision to Resolute 
Natural Resources Company to amend the PSD permit for the MCU Facility 
(PSD Permit No. NU 05-01). The MCU Facility is an existing oil and gas 
production operation located within the Four Corners Area on the Navajo 
Nation Indian Reservation near the town of Aneth, San Juan County, 
Utah.
    The EPA amended the PSD permit, in accordance with PSD regulations 
(40 CFR 52.21), to incorporate pollution limits, terms, and conditions 
for the already existing Main Flare at the MCU Facility pursuant to a 
federal Consent Decree (United States v. Mobil Exploration and 
Producing U.S. Inc., Case No. 2:05-CV-319, filed June 8, 2005). These 
pollution limits, terms, and conditions include best available control 
technology emission limitations for nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide, 
sulfur dioxide, and volatile organic compounds.
    Additionally, the EPA amended the PSD permit to remove and update 
other applicable requirements in the MCU Facility's PSD permit due to 
equipment that has been shut down and removed from the site. Air 
pollution emissions as a result of this permit action would not cause 
or contribute to violations of any National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards or any applicable PSD increments. This permit action does not 
authorize any new construction or modification of existing equipment at 
the MCU Facility.
    EPA received comments from eight commenters, including the Resolute 
Natural Resources Company. In accordance with 40 CFR 124.15(b), the 
final PSD permit decision issued on September 30, 2016, became 
effective on November 30, 2016. Pursuant to 40 CFR 124.19(l)(1), a 
petition to EPA's Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) under 40 CFR 
124.19(a) is a prerequisite to seeking judicial review of this final 
agency action. No petition for review was properly and timely filed 
with EAB under 40 CFR 124.19(a).

    Dated: March 23, 2017.
