Clean Air Act Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD)
Construction Permit Program; Interpretation of Regulations That
Determine Pollutants Covered by the Federal PSD Permit Program
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Notice of issuance of the Administrator's interpretation.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: On December 18, 2008, the Administrator issued an interpretive
memorandum entitled ``EPA's Interpretation of Regulations That
Determine Pollutants Covered by Federal Prevention of Significant
Deterioration (PSD) Permit Program.'' This memorandum clarifies the
scope of the EPA regulation that determines the pollutants subject to the
Federal PSD program under the Clean Air Act (Act). Under Title I, Part
C of the Act, the PSD program preconstruction permit requirement
applies to any new major stationary source or modified existing major
stationary source of regulated air pollutants located in an area that
is either attaining the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)
or unclassifiable. Under the Federal PSD permitting regulations, only
new or modified major sources that emit one or more ``regulated NSR
pollutants,'' as that term is defined in the regulations, are subject
to the requirements of the PSD program, including the requirement to
install the best available control technology (BACT) for those
regulated NSR pollutants that the facility has the potential to emit in
significant amounts. This memorandum contains EPA's definitive
interpretation of ``regulated NSR pollutant'' and is intended to
resolve any ambiguity in the definition, which includes ``any pollutant
that otherwise is subject to regulation under the Act.'' As of the date
of the memorandum, EPA interprets this definition of ``regulated NSR
pollutant'' to exclude pollutants for which EPA regulations only
require monitoring or reporting but include all pollutants subject to a
provision in the Act or regulation adopted by EPA under the Act that
requires actual control of emissions of that pollutant.
