## Abstract

On February 12, 1998, EPA issued its final rule on implementing section 301(d) of the CAA (63 FR 7254, Indian Tribes: Air Quality Planning and Management), hereafter known as the Tribal Authority Rule (TAR). The TAR specified provisions of the CAA for which EPA may treat Indian tribes in the same manner as states. Among other things, the preamble to the TAR described a process by which tribal assertions of jurisdiction would be submitted to ``appropriate governmental entities'' for review and comment. The purpose of this document is to clarify EPA's position on receiving comments on tribal jurisdictional assertions under section 301(d) of the CAA.
