PART 72--PERMITS REGULATION--Table of Contents
 
              Subpart G--Acid Rain Phase II Implementation
 
Sec. 72.71  Acceptance of State Acid Rain programs--general.

    (a) Each State shall submit, to the Administrator for review and 
acceptance, a State Acid Rain program meeting the requirements of 
Secs. 72.72 and 72.73.
    (b) The Administrator will review each State Acid Rain program or 
portion of a State Acid Rain program and accept, by notice in the 
Federal Register, all or a portion of such program to the extent that it 
meets the requirements of Secs. 72.72 and 72.73. At his or her 
discretion, the Administrator may accept, with conditions and by notice 
in the Federal Register, all or a portion of such program despite the 
failure to meet requirements of Secs. 72.72 and 72.73. On the later of 
the date of publication of such notice in the Federal Register or the 
date on which the State operating permit program is approved under part 
70 of this chapter, the State Acid Rain program accepted by the 
Administrator will become a portion of the approved State operating 
permit program. Before accepting or rejecting all or a portion of a 
State Acid Rain Program, the Administrator will provide notice and 
opportunity for public comment on such acceptance or rejection.
    (c)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (c)(2) of this section, the 
Administrator will issue all Acid Rain permits for Phase I. The 
Administrator reserves the right to delegate the remaining 
administration and enforcement of Acid Rain permits for Phase I to 
approved State operating permit programs.
    (2) The State permitting authority will issue an opt-in permit for a 
combustion or process source subject to its jurisdiction if, on the date 
on which the combustion or process source submits an opt-in permit 
application, the State permitting authority has opt-in regulations 
accepted under paragraph (b) of this section and an approved operating 
permits program under part 70 of this chapter.
