Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans Revision to New Source Review, Construction and Operating Permit Requirements, Mississippi

The EPA is approving revisions to the Mississippi State Implementation Plan (SIP), incorporating the State's changes to regulations for construction of new sources. Requirements for Prevention of Significant Deterioration are unchanged. These changes include provisions for public participation and public availability of information concerning applications for construction permits. These revisions were made to satisfy the requirements for issuing federally enforceable minor source construction permits. Also, the State has revised requirements for new or modified sources significantly impacting nonattainment areas by removing exemptions for certain source categories. The EPA interprets the provisions for ``II. D. Permit Modification Due to Modification in Facilities'' and ``II. E. Modification of Permits Without Modification of Facilities'' as not allowing permit relaxations without meeting the procedural and substantive requirements for a new permit to construct.
