and shall state the issues proposed to be raised in the hearing.
    (b) On the Administrator's own motion or on the request of any 
person, the Administrator may, at his or her discretion, hold a pubic

significant issues affecting the draft permit or denial of a draft 
permit. Public hearings will not be held on issues under Sec. 72.66(c)
