Sec. 971.423  Best available technology.

    The Administrator will require in all activities under new permits, 
and wherever practicable in activities under existing permits, the use 
of the best available technologies for the protection of safety, health, 
and the environment wherever such activities would have a significant 
adverse effect on safety, health, or the environment, (see Sec. Sec. 
971.203(b)(3), 971.602(f), and 971.604(a)), except where the 
Administrator determines that the incremental benefits are clearly 
insufficient to justify the incremental costs of using such 
technologies.
