Acid Rain Program: Status of State Acid Rain Programs

Title IV of the Clean Air Act requires EPA to establish the Acid Rain Program to reduce the adverse environmental and public health effects of acidic deposition. Under titles IV and V of the Act, state and local permitting authorities develop and administer acid rain programs as part of their title V operating permits programs. The purpose of this notice is to (1) provide a status report on the progress of specific state and local permitting authorities in establishing regulatory authority to issue acid rain permits, (2) describe in general terms the degree to which state and local permitting authorities can currently take part in acid rain permit issuance given the current status of their title V programs and (3) to identify which permitting authorities should receive Phase II acid rain permit applications (due January 1, 1996) from designated representatives of affected sources. This notice is for informational purposes only and does not supplant any other Federal Register notices under title V.
