and affected units under the Acid Rain Program, pursuant to title IV of 
the Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7401, et seq., as amended by Public Law 
101-549 (November 15, 1990).
    (b) Scope. The regulations under this part set forth certain 
generally applicable provisions under the Acid Rain Program. The 
regulations also set forth requirements for obtaining three types of 
Acid Rain permits, during Phases I and II, for which an affected source 
may apply: Acid Rain permits issued by the United States Environmental 
Protection Agency during Phase I; the Acid Rain portion of an operating 
permit issued by a State permitting authority during Phase II; and the 
Acid Rain portion of an operating permit issued by EPA when it is the 
permitting authority during Phase II. The requirements under this part 
supplement, and in some cases modify, the requirements under parts 70 
and 71 of this chapter and other regulations implementing title V for 
approving and implementing State operating permit programs and for 
Federal issuance of operating permits under title V, as such 
requirements apply to affected sources under the Acid Rain Program.
