    On May 31, 2013, EPA Region 4 requested public comments on a

period, which closed on October 25, 2013.
    The EPA reviewed each comment received and prepared a Response to 
Comments document for the two projects. After consideration of the 
expressed view of all interested persons, the pertinent federal 
statutes and regulations, the applications and supplemental information 
submitted by the applicants, and additional material relevant to the 
applications and contained in the Administrative Records, the EPA made 
final determinations in accordance with title 40 CFR part 52 and part 
55 (for Statoil) to issue final air permits.
    Under 40 CFR 124.19(f)(2), notice of any final Agency action 
regarding a PSD permit must be published in the Federal Register. 
Section 307(b)(1) of the 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 within 60 days from the date of 
notice of such action in the Federal Register. For purposes of judicial 
review under the CAA, final Agency action occurs when a final PSD 
permit is issued or denied by the EPA and Agency review procedures are 
exhausted, per 40 CFR 124.19(f)(1).
    Any person who filed comments on the draft permits was provided the 
opportunity to petition the Environmental Appeals Board by the end of 
November 26, 2013 for the Statoil permit, by the end of December 26, 
2013 for the PEEC permit, or by the end of January 17, 2014 for the 
TECO permit. No petitions were submitted for any of these permits. 
Therefore, the Statoil permit became effective on November 27, 2013. 
The PEEC permit became effective on December 27, 2013. This date was 
changed from December 25, 2013, as stated on the final permit, to 
correct for the effective date coinciding with a federal holiday. The 
TECO permit became effective on January 18, 2014.

    Dated: February 27, 2014.
Carol L. Kemker,
Acting Director, Air, Pesticides and Toxics, Management Division, 
Region 4.
