Abstract: The information will be used by EPA or Tribal enforcement personnel to: (1) identify major and minor sources, new or modified, 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. Based on the reported information, the EPA or Tribal agency can decide which plants, records, or processes should be inspected. 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.

Burden Reduction Due to:

Short Statement: The increase of burden for this proposed rule represents a placeholder of 1 hour. The proposed action would establish nationally applicable regulations to implement a permitting program in Indian country, which would 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. With this action, EPA is proposing regulations to regulate new minor stationary sources and minor modifications in Indian country, i.e., a federal minor NSR rule. However, no specific language is included for the federal major nonattainment NSR rule because it is already provided in 40 CFR 51.
