Abstract
This action approves a revision to the Louisiana State Implementation Plan (SIP), Title 33 of the Louisiana Administrative Code Chapter 5 Section 504, ``Nonattainment New Source Review Procedures.'' This revision was submitted on May 9, 1997, by the Governor of Louisiana to EPA for approval. This revision allows major stationary sources emitting or having the potential to emit at least 100 tons per year of volatile organic compounds (VOC) to offset emissions within the source by an internal offset ratio of at least 1.3 to 1. If the internal offset condition is met, then the requirement to apply the Lowest Achievable Emission Rate (LAER) shall be lifted. This rule making action is being taken under sections 110, 301, and part D of the 1990 Clean Air Act (Act).
