Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment
New Source Review (NSR): Aggregation; Reconsideration
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: Pursuant to a proceeding for reconsideration, the EPA requests
comment on a Clean Air Act (CAA) rule, the New Source Review (NSR)
Aggregation Amendments, which was promulgated on January 15, 2009. The
NSR Aggregation Amendments established a new interpretation of the
existing NSR rules governing the modification of major sources by
requiring sources and permitting authorities to combine emissions from
nominally-separate activities at a major stationary source only when
the activities are ``substantially related.'' This proposed
reconsideration is in response to a petition from the Natural Resources
Defense Council (NRDC) received on January 30, 2009. EPA requests
public comment on all issues included in NRDC's petition. In light of
the legal and policy issues raised in the petition and in our own
review of the rule, EPA's preferred option is to revoke the NSR
Aggregation Amendments. EPA is also proposing to extend the effective
date of the stay by an additional 6 months, and soliciting comment on a
longer extension of the stay.
DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before May 17, 2010.
Public Hearing. If anyone contacts EPA requesting the opportunity
to speak at a public hearing concerning the proposed regulation by
April 26, 2010, EPA will hold a public hearing on April 30, 2010. If a
hearing is held, the record for the hearing will remain open until June
1, 2010.
