Sec. 49.1  Program overview.


    (a) The regulations in this part identify those provisions of the 
Clean Air Act (Act) for which Indian tribes are or may be treated in the 
same manner as States. In general, these regulations authorize eligible 
tribes to have the same rights and responsibilities as States under the 
Clean Air Act and authorize EPA approval of tribal air quality programs 
meeting the applicable minimum requirements of the Act.
    (b) Nothing in this part shall prevent an Indian tribe from 
establishing additional or more stringent air quality protection 
requirements not inconsistent with the Act.
