Title: Regulations Governing Awards Under Section 113(f) of the Clean Air Act 
Abstract: Section 113(f) of the Clean Air Act granted to the Administrator authority to pay an award to any person who furnishes information or services which lead to a criminal conviction or a civil penalty for any violation of Title I, III, IV, V, or VI of the Act enforced under section 113. Section 113(f) authorizes the Administrator to prescribe, by regulation, additional criteria for eligibility for such an award. EPA intends that the rule set forth such additional criteria. The rule also describes criteria for assessing the value of information and services when considering paying an award, and what is needed to adequately petition the Administrator for consideration of payment. The rule will also address confidentiality matters; some citizens provide information or services on a confidential basis. Furthermore, to implement the goal of the program, the rule will provide direction for providing information or services to the Agency.
