EPA Proposes Amendments to Delegation of Authority Provisions in the Prevention of Significant Deterioration Program

Summary

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing amendments to the New Source Review (NSR) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program to correct outdated language that limits the agency's ability to delegate authority to Indian tribes. The proposed changes would provide consistency with current federal regulations and allow the EPA to delegate the PSD program to interested tribes for their attainment areas.
