You will have a

If part of the tongue needs to be removed, the doctor will remove this cancerous section. The remaining area of the tongue will be sewn so that there is no hole. Sometimes, a small graft of skin will be used to fill the hole. This skin graft will then be sewn into place.
If the entire tongue needs to be removed, this is a more complicated surgery. The doctor will remove the diseased tongue. A piece of skin from your wrist will also be removed. This skin graft will be placed in the hole left by the tongue. Blood vessels will also be attached from any remaining tongue to the graft. This is to ensure blood flow.
Occasionally a new tongue will be constructed from tissue removed from the thigh, forearm, or chest.
Sometimes the lymph nodes in the neck will also need to be removed.

Federal Green Challenge
Spotlight Communities
A GreenGov Initiative focused on Federal collaboration across the United States
What is a GreenGov Spotlight Community? When multiple federal partners located near each other work together to leverage regional resources and help achieve the goals of President Obama's Executive Order 13514, Federal Leadership in Environmental, Energy and Economic Performance. A Spotlight Community demonstrates the benefit of a federal entity working with its neighbors, including local governments, area businesses, and non-profit organizations, to improve fleet management, increase renewable energy production and use, or enhance water conservation. The GreenGov Spotlight Communities may be in any phase of coordination, from idea development to measuring and reporting successes as part of their energy and sustainability commitments.
Read more about why Jonathan Powers, Federal Environmental Executive, established the Spotlight Communities
How do Spotlight Communities Benefit the Country?
- They help cut government costs, increase efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, leverage resources among different agencies, and show us what is possible when we work together.
- They demonstrate that a sustainable government is smart government.
- They benefit local communities by reducing demand on the local power grid, reduced road congestion, or conservation of potable water.
- They showcase projects throughout the federal government as models we can learn from and emulate, as recognized by the White House Council on Environmental Quality, for their leadership in sustainability efforts.
Who are the Spotlight Communities?
The communities selected to spotlight demonstrate how collaboration across Federal agencies on energy and sustainability can result in nationwide sustainability. Selected Spotlight Communities include 14 different agencies and include:
- Federal Bike to Work Month Challenges | From Seattle to the East Coast
- National Capital Region Climate Risks Preparation and
Adaptation Plan | Washington, D.C.
- Comparison of Non-Traditional WaterTreatment
Cooling Towers | Lakewood, CO
- Car Sharing | Chicago, IL
- Seattle Federal Executive Board's Business Case for
Sustainability | Seattle, WA
- Federal Aggregated Solar Procurement Pilot | Northern CA

The Johnsonburg Ramettes handed the St. Marys Area Lady Dutch basketball team a 41-35 non-league loss last night at the SMAHS Dutch Oven in the opening game of the 2011-12 season for both squads.
This was the first game in four years that the Lady Dutch have played without the school's all-time scorer, Kayla Hoohuli, now a member of the Canisius College Golden Griffs basketball team.
Last night's game was a close contest for 32 minutes as neither team was able to get a run. The Ramettes led 11-10 after one period, 20-18 at the half and 28-27 at the end of three quarters.

With half of this year's Dutch wrestling squad made up of freshmen and sophomores, second-year head coach Dominic Surra expressed the hope that the team's hardworking nature will allow them to remain competitive.
"We also will have a couple of wrestlers in the lineup who have not wrestled for a number of years in the starting lineup," Surra said. "We are working very hard to help those kids catch up."
The St. Marys Area High School gymnastics team returns to action this season under the direction of 10-year veteran head coach Irene McCandless and new assistant coach Mary Lynne Bellotti, who also brings years of coaching experience to the team. The team will look to improve on their results from last year, when they finished with a 5-3 record and placed second at both the League Championship meet and the PA Classic Bronze Division Team Championship meet.
McCandless noted that this season the team was definitely expanded in the number of participants.
A familiar name and face takes over the reins of the St. Marys Area Lady Dutch basketball program this year as Leona Hoohuli replaces the retired Bob Swanson.
Swanson retired following the 2010-2011 season after nine years at the helm of the Lady Dutch.
Coach Hoohuli has been coaching for the past 12 years. This is her first head coach position.
The Lady Dutch return six letter winners to form the nucleus of the 2011-12 squad. Those returning letter winners are seniors Jenna Anderson and Sloan Foster, juniors Adair Gennocro, DeAnna Yost, Becky Krieg and sophomore Kiana Hoohuli.
As Mark Guido enters his third year at the helm of the St. Marys Area Flying Dutch basketball squad, he has an enthusiastic group of players battling for the starting spots.
Guido has been coaching basketball for 23 years, eight with the St. Marys Area program.
"This year we will have an athletic team. We have good overall team speed and quickness," said Guido. "We have an enthusiastic group of kids. They are high-energy. Now we just have to convert that to the basketball court."
The Dutch have two returning letter winners in seniors Jimmy Werner and Justin Quiggle.
As Ken Pistner enters his 10th year as the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusader head coach, he has six letter winners returning to form the nucleus of the 2011-2012 squad.
"Our strengths are our depth and experience," said Pistner.
The six returning letter winners are seniors Abbi Petroski, Jena Struble, Lexie Meholic and Maggie Sorg and juniors Kristy Hanes and Taylor DaCanal.
Looking to fill the guard slots are Struble, Hanes, Sorg and junior Michelle Imbrogno.
The roster of this year's Elk County Catholic High School varsity boys' basketball squad is filled with new faces. While the team returns four seniors, there are no returning starters or letter winners on the 16-member roster.
"Any time you don't return any starters and you don't return any letter winners, I think that is a challenge," said head coach Aaron Straub. "By the same token, besides the challenge, there is a big upside and a big opportunity. I think this is a team that will get better as the season progresses."

How to make this short but still get the right information out… hmm, not too sure but I will try…
My name is Michael Vallier and I am an indie filmmaker and film festival director. I also am self taught with "very" basic html web design but do a lot of graphic work with photoshop, illustrator etc…
I am looking for some help and/or advice with launching an intricate project. (I'm not sure what would be intricate in the advanced web design world, but this is intricate for me.) I did not know where to go and was not sure where to post. This is not strictly a non-profit, but this is also not a business. It is a project to support and help a community but like with everything when it grows and gets bigger, there are opportunities to grow with it which helps keep the project going.
So if I am posting this in the wrong place, I apologize.
Well I don't want to give too much away over an open forum but in a nut shell here is what I would like to do:
As a filmmaker I find it very difficult and time consuming to search all over the internet for different things film related. Job and casting websites, film data bases, equipment rentals, the list goes on. There are many websites for different things but there is nothing which has it all and is user friendly. I would like to build a very easy to use/navigate directory for filmmakers. I don't really want to get too much more into details, but I have some original ideas mix with inspiration from other platforms.
What I am looking for:
I am looking for someone or a small group of people who would like to partner on this project as a "side gig". I am not trying to get this finished in a stressful timeline, but this has been stuck in my head for the past 2-3 years and I would love to see this happen.
I don't know anything about php, data basing etc… I need people who do. I am very willing to also learn what I can and take some of the load too, no problem at all.
What I offer to the project:
Well for starters, the idea. But that's not all.
- I know what filmmakers want, need and what they don't want and don't need.
- I know how to research and find the elements needed for the project and can gather, organize and create 100% of the content.
- I can do all or most of the graphic work.
- I rent a server which has more space then I would ever be able to use.
- As a producer and a festival organizer, I know how to lead projects and get things done.
So… Not as short as I would have liked to make this post, but I needed to get all of the details out. If anyone is willing to learn more about this project, please e-mail me at: mvallier - at - killerfilmfest - dot – com (You can go to my festival's website for better contact info http://www.killerfilmfest.com)
Thank you for your time and if you actually read every word here, a very special thanks to you.
-Michael Vallier-

They sound very excited!
Select theaters now have showtimes available for opening day and the traditional Midnight screenings the night before, so check out the links below that correspond to the version of the movie you want to see:
If you want to see what all the excitement is about, we've got more than two dozen photos, several video clips and trailers, and lots more information for your viewing pleasure!

And the revolutionary interactive user controls mean you won't have to be so concerned the next time the regular remote gets lost in the sofa cushions.

Not anymore. Samsung's Smart Interaction technologies go beyond buttons, providing control options that are engaging and fun. Voice Control: Tell your TV what you want Say "Hi, TV" to turn on the PN51E8000's voice control. You can then tell the TV to change the channel or adjust the volume.

Gesture Control: Your hand is now the remote The camera that's built into the top of the PN51E8000 makes it possible to control the TV with hand gestures. Raise or lower the volume with a wave of your hand. Navigate menus by using hand movements to control an on-screen cursor. To select an item or app just close your hand. Face Recognition: Skype video calls, auto log-in, and more The PN51E8000 is among the first to provide a great experience with Skype® video calls. The top-mounted camera and speakerphone offer bright, detailed images and clear sound.

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Picture Quality Value Very impressed with the shipping as it was hand delivered. Crutchfield said it would come on a Thursday and so did the other carrier(ups/fed ex). but it came on a Tuesday. So it sat in the box in the living room till I was ready to install it. I ordered a wall mounting bracket from another site, as I was doing a custom install with it. Done with the install and almost all the connections made(internet) I turned it on. after going thru a few setup menus and picked what I liked. I'm pretty well pleased with the picture quality. A lot more detail than my old Zenith (when HD first came out). the web search is nice if you don't want to run a cable from you PC. I would highly recommend using the USB port on the back for a wireless keyboard and mouse. They work for your apps as well, far better than using the remote for those things if you are going to use them. I'll update later if anything happens or becomes interesting at a later point. Pros: ready to go out of the box, very good picture, easy to mount and hook up Cons: to many apps when updating, no way to delete the unwanted ones, motion control to touchy brings up the app menu with every bump or jar, voice control doesn't help if you have it hooked up to a home theater receiver, same with facial Was this review helpful?

"Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Picture Quality Value Overall the TV is great, but we do have problems. The TV goes off pretty regularly by itself. The smarthub screen comes on without pressing the button. Talked to Samsung, they are going to send a rep to check it out sometime in the next 2 weeks. Picture is great & love the touchpad remote Pros: great picture, 3D is awesome Cons: powers off by itself, smart hub screen comes on without pressing the smart hub button, stand is not very durable 1 out of 1 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No Sweet! Written By Mark Z, Pittsburgh, Pa. on Wednesday, January 02, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Picture Quality Value Great picture out of the box but even better using Cnet's calibration. Apps not as clunky as written in other reviews and with Comcast Xfinity Wireless, speed is almost as good as my computer. Sound better then my 3 year old Samsung Plasma and picture much better. Pros: Picture Settings and Picture itself Wireless connectivity Price when it was on sale along with free 3D Blueray player and 8 pair of glasses. Cons: None to speak of. Was this review helpful? Yes No PN51E8000 Plasma Great for our needs Written By BerthaDUniverse, Los Angeles, Ca on Wednesday, August 22, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Picture Quality Value Having a 5-6 year old fluorescent LCD that fell into the "dark clouds" condition, it was time to leap on a new TV. But which way was going to be the best for my needs? The two obvious options were LED-LCD or Plasma. After viewing quite a number of the upper end 42-55" LED-LCD offers, I found them to be retina burning bright. Way too bright for anything my home would offer. The room we have our TV in, generally has moderate to dim lighting, so a TV that is too bright was going to be a big problem. So I looked to the plasma as an answer to the eye-strain/burn-in caused by virtually all of the LED-LCD models. Boy am I happy I went Plasma! While the contrast-ratio on Plasma is lower than most LED-LCD TV's, the overall detail range of the plasma is far superior. So while the contrast is good to excellent, the ability to see detail from the highlights all the way down into the shadows has me in awe of this machine. Further, I am a long-term Tivo user, and a subscriber to Vimeo. Until we got the PN51E8000, these two were not a close fit, but the PN51E8000 has a Vimeo app that now allows me to easily view my 1080 Vimeo material at 51" with just a few clicks of the remote. Add to this that it also has an HBO Go app, and the list of unexpected pluses is starting to grow. Pros: Picture Quality is Exceptional, Long List of Features (including Internet ability), Fairly Light Weight for it Size, Wide Viewing Angle, Android Phone App as remote, Fit and Finish are very good. Cons: Internet use is hampered by the lack of a true keyboard. There is an optional Samsung Wireless Keyboard that may help this, but it is an additional $75-100. Menu navigation is good most of the time, but it is sluggish. List of Apps as of summer 2012 is kind of weak, and while they have HBO Go, they don't have the Max, Starz, or ShowTime versions (yet???). And finally, Picture brightness & contrast fall off when in Internet or streaming mode... 7 out of 7 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No My new plasma TV Written By B.I., Gainesville, FL on Friday, August 17, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Picture Quality Value What an outstanding TV at an outstanding Value/price this is that I recently purchased from Crutchfield. I've never had a better picture and watchig sports like the Olympics in 3D was such a treat. Samsung has done themselves proud with this unit. The only drawback, if it could be called that, is learning to use some of the features that are included with the unit. Pros: Outstanding picture and ease of set up. Cons: Some of the features, i.e. face and hand directions, seem a little compicated for an old geezer like me to learn but I will evenutally master them. 5 out of 5 people found this helpful Was this review helpful? Yes No The PN51E8000 is a good buy Written By BDme, Toledo, OH on Sunday, June 03, 2012 "Coolness Factor" Build Quality Ease of Use Picture Quality Value I have been using the PN51E8000 as my primary TV for three months now. This is Samsungs flagship 51" plasma with all bells and whistles included. I am satisfied with it and intend to keep it 6~8 yrs. Setup was fast. I went through the various view modes and found that the "standard" view mode was fine although I reduced brightness by about 8%. Once tied in to the wireless router the TV auto updated for about 10 mins. The TV has since updated numerous times. Picture clarity is outstanding using any input source from Blu-ray to Netflix streaming to over the air digital broadcast via an outdoor antenna. 3D viewing using the active glasses can be excellent. Running the Blu-Ray 3D version of the movie Hugo, I stared dumbfounded at the movie menu screen for 5 mins as the gears turned six feet deep into the TV while the menu bar itself hung motionless four feet out into the room. Voice control and motion control (control of the TV using hand motions) are both becoming more appreciated, especially if your hands are sticky with barbecue sauce, pizza grease, etc. Motion control works poorly in low light and not at all in dark room conditions. Pros: Stunning picture clarity. Realistic color. No ghosting, able to keep pace with any fast action viewing. The TV is very slim to the point where there is no real benefit in going any slimmer other than cool factor. The TV emits only a fraction of the heat of older plasma TVs. After a whole day of operation the TV is barley warm to the touch. Cons: The Smart Touch remote did not impress me for ease of use. Perhaps I would like it more if I used it more but it seems to me that the standard remote does what I need to do faster. I'm an older guy with little patience for technology that is not dead simple to use. The TV comes with both Smart Touch and standard remotes. 20 out of 20 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

Anti Burn-In Technology: To reduce the possibility of screen burn-in, this Plasma TV is equipped with screen burn-in prevention technology. Samsung's Anti-burn-in technology uses auto pixel shift and signal pattern processing functions to ensure that no images are burned into the plasma panel. The Time setting allows you to program the time between movement of the picture in minutes. Pixel Shift: This function shifts the pixels of the displayed image every 1-4 minutes to prevent burn-in. Scrolling: This function removes after-images on the screen by moving all the pixels on the PDP according to a pattern. Side Gray (Dark/Light): When you watch TV with the screen ratio of 4:3, the screen is prevented from any damage by adjusting the white balance on both the extreme left and right sides of the television.

Audio Features SRS TruSurround HD: SRS TruSurround HD is a patented SRS technology that solves the problem of playing 5.1 multichannel content over two speakers. TruSurround delivers a compelling, virtual surround sound experience through any two-speaker playback system, including the internal television speakers. It is fully compatible with all multichannel formats. SRS TruDialog: This function allows you to increase the intensity of voices over background music or sound effects so that dialog can be heard more clearly. Sound Modes: You can choose from the following Preset Sound Modes: Standard: Selects the normal sound mode. Music: Emphasizes music over voices. Movie: Provides the best sound for movies. Clear Voice: Emphasizes voices over other sounds. Amplify: Amplify mode is for people who have difficulty hearing. Equalizer: You can manually adjusts the TV's built-in 5-band EQ (100 Hz, 300 Hz, 1 kHz, 3 kHz, and 10 kHz) for a more customized sound. Auto Volume: Auto Volume automatically adjusts the volume of the desired channel, lowering the sound output when the modulation signal is high or raising the sound output when the modulation signal is low. This reduces the difference in volume when changing channels. The Auto Volume feature can be set to Normal, Night or Off. Audio Delay: The Audio Delay function corrects audio/video mismatch, when watching TV or video, and listening to a digital audio output using an external device such as an AV receiver. You can adjust the audio delay from 0ms to 250 ms. Digital Audio: The optical digital output terminal will output Dolby Digital (when available) or 2 channel PCM. The digital optical output terminal only sends an audio signal in Dolby Digital when receiving Dolby Digital surround sound from a digital broadcast channel through the tuner on the Plasma TV. The optical digital audio output will only output in 2ch stereo from sources connected to the TV via HDMI, RCA, or USB. ARC (Audio Return Channel): The Audio Return Channel in HDMI 1.4 enables a TV, via a single HDMI cable, to send audio data "upstream" to an A/V receiver; increasing user flexibility and eliminating the need for any separate S/PDIF audio connection. This feature allows audio to be sent from the television to your A/V receiver through the same HDMI cable already being used to send audio/video to the television. This eliminates the need for extra cables connected to the TV. ARC allows audio from the TV tuner, Network connection, inserted USB device, HDMI inputs, or any analog connected device to be heard through your ARC compatible AV receiver via the television's HDMI ARC input. The audio from the TV's tuner, network connection can pass as Dolby Digital or 2ch PCM. HDMI, USB, and analog connected devices will be output as 2ch PCM only. Note: Both the television and the receiver must support ARC for this function to work properly. When connecting an A/V receiver that is compatible with Audio Return Channel (ARC), connect it to the TV's HDMI 2 input. If connecting a system that is incompatible Audio Return Channel (ARC), an additional audio connection via Digital Audio Out (Optical) is necessary. Network/USB Functions Network Connection (wired/wireless): You can set up the Samsung E8000 series Plasma TV so that it can access your home network and online Samsung Apps through your local area network (LAN) using a wired (RJ-45 Ethernet) or wireless connection (built-in WiFi). You can setup a wired network connection automatically or manually. You can setup the wireless network connection using these four methods; PBC (WPS), Auto Network Search, One Foot, or Manually. Note: The TV's built-in WiFi supports IEEE 802.11 a/b/g/n wireless LAN networks and WEP (open/shared), WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES), WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES) network security. WiFi Direct: When using WiFi Direct, you can connect directly with other devices without using a wireless router. You'll be able to wirelessly transfer personal content (such as photos & videos) to the Samsung Plasma TV without connecting to your home network. WiFi Direct completely bypasses your WiFi access point/router, so it's easy to set up. Streaming of copy-protected content and other certain formats are not supported. AllShare/DLNA Certified: The Samsung E8000 series Plasma TV's AllShare function, along with its DLNA Certification allow you to watch videos (DIVX/MPEG/H.264/WMV), photos (JPEG/PNG/BMP/MPO)), and listen to music (MP3/WMA/AAC/FLAC/OGG) saved on your Windows PC (or other DLNA Certified media server) through the TV via its Ethernet (LAN) port or built-in WiFi (wireless). This eliminates the need to copy your photo, video, and music files to a separate USB storage device. Note: Windows PCs with XP and Vista installed require Samsung's PC Share Manager software, which can be downloaded for free at www.samsung.com. Not compatible with older Windows OS versions and Mac. Samsung's Dual Core Processor: Samsung's Dual Core's processing speeds allow you to perform multiple tasks at the same time, such as using an app while downloading another one. It also enables faster web browsing while playing apps or TV programs that you've recently opened through the Recent History feature. Samsung Apps: Once you have connected the Samsung TV to your home network, you gain access to Samsung Apps. Samsung Apps lets you download for pay or free-of-charge applications and services to the Samsung E8000 series Plasma TV.

The Department has recently received complaints from various lenders regarding written solicitations from mortgage brokers. These solicitations are sent to existing borrowers whose names are derived from public record searches. By identifying the borrower and their existing mortgagee, these solicitations often infer an affiliation between the mortgage broker sending the solicitation and the existing mortgagee. Such misrepresentation would constitute a violation of TCA § 45-13-115.
The purpose of this Bulletin is to put the industry on notice that the Department will vigorously enforce the prohibition in TCA § 45-13-115. Any licensee or registrant found sending these misleading solicitations will, at a minimum, be required to: i) notify the recipient of the solicitation that the solicitor is an independent mortgage company and is in no way affiliated with their existing mortgagee, and ii) explain how the solicitor obtained the identity of the borrower and their mortgagee.
The failure to take the corrective action described above could lead to administrative charges up to and including the suspension or revocation of the mortgage broker's license.

Cowboy Junkies are a Canadian alternative country/blues/folk rock band. The group was formed in Toronto in 1985 by Margo Timmins (vocalist), Michael Timmins (songwriter, guitarist), Peter Timmins (drummer) and Alan Anton (bassist). The Junkies first performed publicly at the Beverley Tavern and other clubs in Toronto''s Queen Street West, including The Rivoli. Their 1986 debut album, produced by Canadian producer Peter Moore, was the blues-inspired Whites Off Earth Now!!, recorded using an ambisonic microphone in the family garage. The group''s fame spread with their second album, The Trinity Session, recorded in 1987 at Toronto''s Church of the Holy Trinity. Their sound, again using the ambisonic microphone, and their mix of blues, country, folk, rock and jazz earned them both critical attention and a cult following. The Los Angeles Times named the recording as one of the ten best albums of 1988. The band was nominated for Group of the Year at the Juno Awards in 1990 and 1991. In the early 1990s Margo Timmins was named "one of the fifty most beautiful people in the world" by People Magazine. The group has continued to tour North America, Europe, Japan and Australia with extensive North American and European tours following album releases in 2002 and 2004. In 2008, they released Trinity Revisited in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the original recording of The Trinity Session.

New Source Review
Fact Sheet -- Reconsideration of Former Administrator Johnson Interpretive Memo on Definition of Pollutants Covered Under the Clean Air Act
- On September 30, 2009, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) proposed to reconsider the December 18, 2008 memorandum entitled "EPA's Interpretation of Regulations that Determine Pollutants Covered by Federal Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Permit Program."
- This interpretive memo, from then-EPA Administrator Stephen L. Johnson to the EPA Regional Administrators addressed when the Prevention of Significant Deterioration program would cover a pollutant, including carbon dioxide - a chief greenhouse gas.
- The memo indicated that the Clean Air Act (CAA) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) Permitting Program would apply to pollutants that are subject to either a provision in the CAA or regulation adopted by EPA under the CAA that requires control of emissions of that pollutant.
- Pollutants for which EPA regulations only require monitoring or reporting were not included, such as the provisions for carbon dioxide (CO2) in the Acid Rain Program.
- In this reconsideration proposal, EPA is requesting comment on various interpretations of when a pollutant is "subject to regulation" under the CAA for the purposes of triggering the requirements to get a PSD permit. A PSD permit is required before a new industrial facility can be built or an existing facility can expand in a way that increases emissions.
- EPA is considering several interpretations of when PSD permitting requirements would be triggered including:
- An EPA rule requiring control of emissions of a pollutant from a final national rule;
- Inclusion of regulatory requirements for a pollutant in an EPA-approved State Implementation Plan;
- An EPA rule requiring monitoring or reporting of emissions of a pollutant;
- An "Endangerment Finding" for a pollutant under the Clean Air Act; and
- EPA's granting of a Clean Air Act section 209 waiver, such as the "California Waiver."
- EPA's preferred interpretation is that an EPA rule requiring control of emissions of a pollutant from a final national rule is required to trigger PSD permitting requirements.
- EPA also is soliciting comment on any other interpretations and issues arising from the Memo.
- EPA is taking action to reconsider this memorandum at the same time the Agency proposes to control greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from light duty vehicles – signed on September 15, 2009 – and to tailor the PSD permitting program to address large industrial sources of GHG emissions – which was also signed today.
- EPA will accept comment on this proposal for 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
- On April 2, 2007, the Supreme Court found that GHGs, including carbon dioxide, are air pollutants covered by the CAA. Massachusetts v. EPA, 549 U.S. 497 (2007). The case arose from EPA's denial of a petition for rulemaking filed by environmental, renewable energy, and other organizations requesting that EPA control emissions of GHGs from new motor vehicles under section 202 of the CAA.
- The Court found that, the Administrator was required to determine whether or not emissions of GHGs from new motor vehicles cause or contribute to air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare, or whether the science is too uncertain to make a reasoned decision. This determination is known as an "endangerment finding."
- On August 30, 2007, EPA issued a PSD permit to Deseret Power Electric Cooperative, authorizing it to construct a new waste-coal-fired electric generating unit near its existing Bonanza Power Plant, in Bonanza, Utah. The permit did not include emissions control requirements known as best available control technology (BACT) limits for CO2. EPA acknowledged the Massachusetts decision but found that decision alone did not require PSD permits to include limits on CO2 emissions.
- Sierra Club challenged the Deseret permit. On November 13, 2008, the Environmental Appeals Board (EAB) remanded the permit EPA to reconsider "whether or not to impose a CO2 BACT limit in light of the 'subject to regulation' definition under the CAA." The remand was based in part on EAB's finding that there was not an established EPA interpretation of the regulatory phrase "subject to regulation.
- On December 18, 2008, then-Administrator Johnson issued a memorandum that established an interpretation of this regulatory phrase.
- On December 31, 2008, Sierra Club and 14 other environmental, renewable energy, and citizen organizations petitioned EPA to reconsider the Johnson memo.
- On February 17, 2009, Administrator Jackson granted a Petition for Reconsideration of the December 18, 2008 memorandum and initiated a rulemaking process to solicit comment on Administrator Johnson's memorandum and related considerations reflected in the opinion of EPA's environmental Appeals Board in the Deseret decision. The interpretation set forth in the December 18, 2008 memorandum remains in effect pending the reconsideration.
- Congress established the NSR program as part of the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments and modified it in the 1990 Amendments. NSR is a preconstruction permitting program that serves two important purposes:
- Ensures the maintenance of air quality standards or, where there are not air quality standards, it ensures that air quality does not significantly worsen when factories, industrial boilers, and power plants are modified or added. In areas that do not meet the national ambient air quality standards, NSR assures that new emissions do not slow progress toward cleaner air. In areas that meet the standards, especially pristine areas like national parks, NSR assures that new emissions fall within air quality standards.
- Ensures that state-of-the-art control technology is installed at new plants or at existing plants that are undergoing a major modification.
- At the present time, EPA does not consider CO2 or any of the other principal GHGs to be a "regulated NSR pollutant" under the definition in EPA's federal PSD permit program regulations because there is not yet a National Rule requiring actual control. The basis for this interpretation was expressed by former Administrator Johnson in a memorandum to the Regional Offices dated December 18, 2008, and that interpretation was not stayed by Administrator Jackson pending this reconsideration.
