Clean Air Act Proposed Approval of Operating Permit Programs; Pinal County Air Quality Control District, AZ

EPA is proposing to approve revisions to the Pinal County Air Quality Control District (Pinal or District) operating permit program. The Pinal operating permit program was submitted in response to the directive in the 1990 Clean Air Act (CAA) Amendments that permitting authorities develop, and submit to EPA, programs for issuing operating permits to all major stationary sources and to certain other sources within the permitting authorities' jurisdiction. EPA granted interim approval to the Pinal operating permit program on October 30, 1996. See 61 FR 55910. The District consequently revised its program to satisfy the conditions of the interim approval; however, the effective date of the revisions was made contingent upon EPA approving the changes under both 40 CFR part 70 and 40 CFR part 52. On September 5, 2001, the District revised the rules again in order to make the effective date of the rule changes contingent solely upon EPA approval under part 70. EPA is proposing to approve the operating permit program contingent upon Pinal submitting the rules that were adopted on September 5, 2001 as a revision to its part 70 program.
