The information will be used by EPA or
a delegate tribal agency assisting EPA with administration of the
rules, until replaced by an EPA-approved implementation plan, to:
(1) identify new or modified major and minor sources subject to the
NSR rules, (2) ensure that control technology, if required, is
being properly applied, and (3) ensure that the emission control
devices are being properly operated and maintained on a continuous
basis. Potential respondents are owners or operators of all new
minor stationary sources and minor modifications (to both minor and
major sources) in Indian Country, and those new major stationary
sources and major modifications located in portions of Indian
Country that are in nonattainment areas.
EPA is establishing nationally
applicable regulations to implement a permitting program in Indian
country, which will regulate the construction and modification of
stationary sources of air pollution and allow certain new and
existing stationary sources to voluntarily accept federally
enforceable emission limits in order to avoid major source
regulations. These regulations affect new and modified minor
stationary sources and minor modifications at existing major
sources in Indian country and also regulate new major sources and
major modifications in portions of Indian country that are not in
attainment of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS),
i.e., nonattainment areas.
