EPA Proposes Approval of Local NSR Rule
The EPA is proposing to approve a revision to the Placer County (California) portion of the State Implementation Plan that updates the Clean Air Act nonattainment new source review (NSR) permitting program. The revision concerns how construction and modifications of major stationary sources of air pollution in nonattainment areas are regulated and is intended to address deficiencies previously identified by the EPA.
Deferral of CAA Sanctions for Placer County
The EPA is making an interim final determination elsewhere in the Federal Register that will defer the imposition of Clean Air Act (CAA) sanctions tied to the Agency's prior limited disapproval of the District rule. That deferral pauses the sanctions linked to the earlier limited disapproval while the Agency processes this proposed approval.
