Acid Rain Program: Notice of State Acid Rain Programs

AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: 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 State 
and local permitting authorities listed in this notice have submitted 
acid rain programs for EPA review that have subsequently been 
determined to be acceptable to the EPA Administrator as part of their 
title V operating permits programs. This notice is for informational 
purposes only and does not supplant any other Federal Register notices 
under title V.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Robert Miller, U.S. EPA, Acid Rain 
Division (6204J), 401 M St. SW., Washington, DC 20460, (202) 233-9077.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: In Phase I of the Acid Rain Program (1995 
through 1999), EPA issues Phase I acid rain permits and is the 
permitting authority for certain acid rain affected sources, most of 
which are coal burning utilities. In Phase II of the Acid Rain Program 
(beginning in the year 2000 and continuing into perpetuity), state and 
local permitting authorities are required under titles IV and V of the 
Act to act as the permitting authority for acid rain affected sources 
in Phase II and issue acid rain permits as part of their title V 
operating permits programs. Acid rain affected sources must submit 
their initial Phase II acid rain permit applications to the appropriate 
permitting authority no later than January 1, 1996. Initial acid rain 
permits must be issued to all acid rain affected sources no later than 
December 31, 1997.
