## Abstract

Pursuant to its authority under section 502(i) of the Clean Air Act, EPA is publishing this notice of deficiency for the Clean Air Act title V operating permits program of Maricopa County, Arizona. The notice of deficiency is based upon EPA's finding that Maricopa County's title V program does not comply with the requirements of the Clean Air Act or with the implementing regulations of the Operating Permit Program in two respects: permit fees and permit processing. With respect to permit fees, specific deficiencies include the following: Maricopa County has failed to demonstrate that its title V program requires owners or operators of Operating Permit Program sources to pay fees that are sufficient to cover the costs of the County's title V program, and has failed to adequately ensure that its title V program funds are used solely for title V permit program costs; and Maricopa County's fee rule and the implementation of this rule have contributed to delay in issuance of initial title V permits. With respect to permit processing, specific deficiencies include the following: Maricopa County has issued title V permits that do not assure compliance with all applicable requirements; Maricopa County's processing of permit revisions is deficient; and Maricopa County has not demonstrated that it is providing sufficient staffing. Publication of this action is a prerequisite for withdrawal of Maricopa County's title V program approval, but does not effect such withdrawal.
