Title: Review of Minor New Sources and Modifications in Indian Country | |
Abstract: As required by the Clean Air Act's New Source Review provisions, the EPA is proposing Federal regulations governing preconstruction permitting of minor stationary sources of air pollution in Indian Country. Pursuant to the Tribal Air Rule, eligible Indian Tribes may receive EPA authorization to develop and implement such programs. The Federal minor New Source Review permitting program would be effective throughout Indian Country and would be implemented by the EPA if eligible Indian Tribes do not elect, or do not receive authorization, to manage such programs. The proposed rule would require sources in Indian Country, with certain exceptions, to obtain a permit prior to construction if they are: (1) new minor sources, (2) existing minor sources undergoing modification, or (3) existing major sources undergoing minor modification. The proposed rule also would allow new or existing stationary sources to accept enforceable limits on their production capacity or hours of operation in order to be considered minor sources and avoid being subject to other Clean Air Act requirements such as the title V operating permit program. This rule would not impose any mandates on Tribal governments to implement a minor New Source Review permitting program. Tribal governments may be affected, however, insofar as they own or operate sources that must obtain a permit from the EPA under the final Federal permitting program regulations. | |
