The EPA is promulgating full approval of the Operating Permits Program submitted by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for the purpose of complying with Federal requirements for an approvable State program to issue operating permits to all major stationary sources, and to certain other sources. EPA is also granting final approval to Pennsylvania's Operating Permit and Plan Approval Programs pursuant to Section 110 of the Clean Air Act (the ``Act'') for the purpose of creating Federally enforceable operating permit and plan approval conditions for sources of criteria air pollutants. In order to extend the federal enforceability of State operating permits and plan approvals to include hazardous air pollutants (HAPs), EPA is also approving Pennsylvania's plan approval and operating permits program regulations pursuant to Section 112 of the Act. Today's action also approves Pennsylvania's mechanism for receiving straight delegation of Section 112 standards.
