Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Revisions to the Nevada State Implementation Plan; Stationary Source Permits
Document Number: E7-7285
Type: Proposed Rule
Date: 2007-04-17
Agency: Environmental Protection Agency
EPA is proposing, under the Clean Air Act, approval of certain revisions to the applicable state implementation plan for the State of Nevada and full disapproval of certain other revisions. These revisions involve State rules governing applications for, and issuance of, permits for stationary sources, but not including review and permitting of major sources and major modifications under parts C and D of title I of the Clean Air Act. These revisions involve submittal of certain new or amended State rules and requests by the State for rescission of certain existing rules from the state implementation plan. The rescission requests for which we propose approval are contingent upon receipt of public notice and hearing documentation from the State. EPA is proposing this action under the Clean Air Act obligation to take action on State submittals of revisions to state implementation plans. The intended effect is to update the rules governing permitting in the applicable state implementation plan and to rescind unnecessary provisions from the applicable plan. EPA is taking comments on this proposal and plans to follow with a final action.
