state Class I or II provided that:

(a) At least one public hearing has been held in accordance with procedures established in 

the Plan;

LRAPA respecting the redesignation and to submit written comments and 

recommendations. In redesignating any area with respect to which any Federal Land

approved by state legislation, and if general purpose units of local government 

representing a majority of the residents of the area to be redesignated enact legislation or 

pass resolutions concurring in the redesignation;

(c) The redesignation would not cause, or contribute to, a concentration of any air 

pollutant which would exceed any maximum allowable increase permitted under the 

classification of any other area or any national ambient air quality standard; and

(d) Any permit application for any major stationary source or major modification, subject 

to review under section (1) of this rule, which could receive a permit under this section 

only if the area in question were redesignated as Class III, and any material submitted as 

part of that application, were available insofar as was practicable for public inspection 

prior to any public hearing on redesignation of the area as Class III.
29.9

(4) Lands within the exterior boundaries of Indian Reservations may be redesignated only 

by the appropriate Indian Governing Body. The appropriate Indian Governing Body may

that such redesignation does not meet the procedural requirements of this paragraph or is 

inconsistent with Section 29-0050. If any such disapproval occurs, the classification of 

the area shall be that which was in effect prior to the redesignation which was 

disapproved.

(6) If the EPA Administrator disapproves any proposed redesignation, LRAPA or Indian
