Clean Air Act Proposed Full Approval of Operating Permit Program; New Jersey

EPA is taking proposed action to fully approve the operating permit program of the State of New Jersey. New Jersey's operating permit program was submitted in response to the directive in the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments that States develop and submit to EPA, programs for issuing operating permits to all major stationary sources and to certain other sources within the States' jurisdiction. EPA granted interim approval to New Jersey's operating permit program on May 16, 1996. New Jersey revised its program to satisfy the conditions of the interim approval and submitted the corrected program on May 31, 2001. This action approves those revisions. In addition, EPA is also taking proposed action to approve the following changes to New Jersey's Operating Permit Rule: (1) N.J.A.C.7:27-22.29(a) and 22.29(e) were changed to incorporate the final nitrogen oxide regulations under 40 CFR Part 76 as required by EPA; and N.J.A.C. 7:27-22.1 was changed to add the definition of a fuel cell system and to add fuel cell systems with a power output of less than 500 kilowatts to the list of exempt activity.
