Title V Operating Permit No. 46-00039

   Under 25 Pa. Code § 127.521, the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) intends to issue a Title V Operating Permit to Peco Energy, for its Moser facility. The PECO Energy Moser plant is located in Lower Pottsgrove Township, Montgomery County.

   The Moser facility is primarily used for peak electrical production. As a result of the potential level of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx) emitted, Moser is a major stationary source as defined in Title I, Part D of the Clean Air Act Amendments. The facility is therefore subject to the Title V permitting requirements adopted in 25 Pa. Code, Chapter 127, Subchapter G.

   The proposed Title V Operating Permit does not adopt any new regulations and does not reflect any change in air emissions from the facility. It incorporates all of the applicable air quality requirements for each source at the existing plant into a single permit as required under Title V of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Upon final approval, the permit will be issued for a period of 5 years.

   An appointment to review the permit application and the draft Title V Operating Permit at the Department's Southeast Regional Office may be scheduled by contacting the Record's Management staff, at (610) 832-6000 between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m., Monday through Friday, except holidays.

   A 30 day comment period, from the date of this publication, will exist for the submission of comments. Each written comment must contain the following:

   *  Name, address and phone number of the person submitting the comments.

   *  Identification of the proposed permit (specify permit No. TVOP-46-00039).

   *  Concise statements regarding the relevancy of the information of objections to issuance of the permit. A public hearing may be held, if the Department of Environmental Protection, in its discretion, decides that such a hearing is warranted based on the information received. All persons submitting comments or requesting a hearing will be notified on the decision to hold a hearing by publication in this newspaper, or by the Pennsylvania Bulletin, or by telephone, where the Department of Environmental Protection determines such notification by telephone is sufficient. Written comments or requests for a public hearing should be directed to Francine Carlini, Regional Air Quality Program Manager, Department of Environmental Protection, Southeast Region--Field Operations, 555 North Lane, Suite 6010, Lee Park, Conshohocken, PA 19428, (610) 832-6000.
