2060-AQ08 201004 Unified Agenda of Federal Regulatory and Deregulatory Actions 2060 Air and Radiation AR 2000 Environmental Protection Agency EPA Action To Ensure Authority of State and Local Air Permit Programs To Regulate All Pollutants Elsewhere Subject to Regulation Under the Clean Air Act This action proposes to: (1) Identify which regulations are inadequate with respect to the ability of State and local air permitting authorities ("States") to implement their New Source Review (NSR) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and title V programs for major stationary sources of all pollutants regulated under the Clean Air Act (CAA), (2) require that States revise their regulations as necessary to correct the inadequacies, and (3) promulgate Federal plans where necessary to ensure coverage of all CAA-regulated pollutants until the corrective State/local regulations have been approved by EPA. All pollutants that are regulated pursuant to the CAA must be addressed in air permits issued by States to implement requirements of the PSD and title V programs. Many States' regulations identify which pollutants are addressed under their programs by including a definition of "regulated NSR pollutant" that is sufficiently broad (similar to the definition at 40 CFR 52.21(b)(50), for example) or by including a definition of "major source" that is sufficiently broad (similar to the definition at 40 CFR 70.2, for example). These definitions are automatically updating, as they need no revision in order to cover pollutants that become subject to regulation under the CAA. However, some States' regulations are inadequate, because, for example, they identify the pollutants addressed under their programs by listing the individual pollutants by name, and the inadequate regulations must be revised before PSD or title V requirements will apply to sources of newly regulated pollutants (such as greenhouse gases).
