## Abstract

The EPA is promulgating direct final approval of the title V operating permit program revisions adopted by the Bay Area Air Quality Management District (Bay Area, BAAQMD, or District) on February 1, 1995 and submitted to EPA on March 23, 1995. These revisions modify Bay Area's title V program as proposed for interim approval on November 29, 1994 by providing for optional permit shield provisions, clarifying permit application requirements, and making other minor program changes in response to local concerns. In this direct final action, EPA is also promulgating approval of revisions that Bay Area made to its synthetic minor operating permit program. The synthetic minor program allows for the issuance of federally enforceable state operating permits (FESOP) and was also proposed for approval on November 29, 1994. The synthetic minor amendments being approved in this notice clarify the District's permit modification procedures for synthetic minors. Upon approval, the amended synthetic minor regulations will be incorporated into Bay Area's portion of the State Implementation Plan (SIP). In order to extend the federal enforceability of synthetic minor operating permit conditions to hazardous air pollutants (HAP), EPA is also approving Bay Area's amended synthetic minor regulations pursuant to section 112(l) of the Clean Air Act (Act or CAA).
