Abstract: On May 20, 1994, the Agency promulgated a rule in the Federal Register (59 FR 26429) governing the establishment of equivalent emission limitations by permit, pursuant to section 112(j) of the Clean Air Act (Act). After the effective date of a Title V permit program in a State, each owner or operator of a major source in a source category for which the EPA was scheduled, but failed, to promulgate a section 112(d) emission standard will be required to obtain an equivalent emission limitation by permit. The permit application must be submitted to the Title V permitting authority 18 months after the EPA's missed promulgation date. This action proposes to amend the original Regulations Governing Equivalent Emission Limitations by Permit rule to delay the section 112(j) permit application deadline for all 7-year source categories listed in the regulatory schedule until December 15, 1999. |
