Federal Operating Permit Programs; Permits for Early Reductions Sources

This rulemaking establishes an interim Federal permitting program solely for sources participating in the Early Reductions Program under section 112(i)(5) of the Clean Air Act (Act), as amended. It is designed to provide a temporary permitting mechanism until such time as permanent permitting programs become effective pursuant to title V of the Act. Under this interim program, EPA will be able to permit early reductions sources in a timely manner, thus ensuring that emission reductions achieved are maintained and providing assurance to participating sources that they have qualified for the benefits of the Early Reductions Program. Also promulgated in this rulemaking are two amendments to the Early Reductions Rule. The first appends to enforceable commitments made under the Early Reductions Program information on emission reduction measures employed to achieve early reductions and the second clarifies deadlines for submitting post-reduction emission information to EPA.
