Notice of Issuance and Notice of Rescission of Outer Continental 
Shelf Air Permits

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of final actions.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This notice is to announce that the Environmental Protection 
Agency (EPA) issued a final Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) air permit 
numbered OCS-EPA-R4021 to Anadarko Petroleum Corporation (Anadarko) on 
December 20, 2016. In addition, the EPA is providing notice that, at 
the permittee's request, EPA rescinded an OCS permit numbered OCS-EPA-
R4012 on March 23, 2016, for Statoil Gulf Services LLC (Statoil).

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Ms. Kelly Fortin, Air Permitting 
Section, Air, Pesticides and Toxics Management Division, Region 4, U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency, 61 Forsyth Street SW., Atlanta,

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On November 14, 2016, EPA requested public 
comments on the proposed OCS air permit numbered OCS-EPA-R4021 for the 
Anadarko Bob Douglas project. During the public comment period, which 
ended on December 14, 2016, the EPA did not receive any comments.
    After consideration of the pertinent federal statutes and 
regulations, the application and supplemental information submitted by 
the applicant, and additional material relevant to the application 
contained in the Administrative Record, the EPA made a final 
determination on December 20, 2016, in accordance with 40 CFR parts 55 
and 71 to issue the final air permit. Because no comments were filed, 
the Anadarko permit became effective on December 20, 2016. See 40 CFR 
71.11(i)(iii), 40 CFR 124.15(b)(3).
    In addition, on December 29, 2015, EPA received a request from 
Statoil for EPA to rescind OCS permit OCS-EPA-R4012 as Statoil was no 
longer conducting exploratory drilling operations pursuant to this 
permit. Pursuant to Statoil's request and 40 CFR part 55, EPA 
terminated Statoil's OCS permit on March 23, 2016.
    EPA must follow the administrative procedures of 40 CFR part 71 
when issuing permits to OCS sources subject to Title V requirements 
such as the Anadarko and Statoil sources identified above. See 40 CFR 
71.4(d). Prior to November 17, 2016, EPA was also required to follow 
the administrative procedures in 40 CFR part 124 used to issue 
Prevention of Significant Deterioration permits when processing OCS 
permit applications under Part 55, including OCS permit applications 
for sources subject to Title V requirements.\1\ Under 40 CFR 
124.19(l)(3) and 40 CFR 71.11(l)(7), notice of any final Agency action 
regarding a subject permit must be published in the Federal Register. 
Section 307(b)(1) of the Clean Air Act (CAA) provides for review of 
final Agency action that is locally or regionally applicable in the 
United States Court of Appeals for the appropriate circuit. Such a 
petition for review of final Agency action must be filed on or before 
11:59 p.m. on the 60th day from the date of notice of such action in 
the Federal Register.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

    \1\ Effective November 17, 2016, EPA must follow the applicable 
procedures of 40 CFR part 71 or part 124 in processing OCS permit 
applications under 40 CFR part 55. See 40 CFR 55.6(a)(3), 81 FR 
71613 (October 18, 2016). Prior to this effective date, EPA was 
required to follow the applicable procedures of 40 CFR part 124 when 
processing such applications and also required to follow the 
procedures of 40 CFR part 71 when issuing permits to OCS sources 
subject to Title V requirements.

    Dated: March 14, 2017.

Director, Air, Pesticides, and Toxics, Management Division, Region 4.
