Region 6] 

National Emission Standards for 

Hazardous Air Pollutants; Delegation 

of Authority to Arkansas 

AGENCY: Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA). 

ACTION: Direct final rule; delegation of 

authority. 

SUMMARY: The Environmental Protection 

Agency (EPA) is approving, through a 

‘‘direct final’’ procedure, the straight 

delegation of authority and approval of 

the mechanism used for the 

implementation and enforcement of 

certain unchanged Federal section 112 

rules to the Arkansas Department of 

Environmental Quality (ADEQ), 

pursuant to section 112(l) of the Clean 

Air Act (Act or CAA). A more detailed 

description of the procedures used to 

implement the delegation is set forth in 

a memorandum of agreement (MOA) 

between ADEQ and EPA, dated 

September 17, 2014, a copy of which 

may be found in the docket for this 

rulemaking, as discussed below. The 

delegation only encompasses sources 

subject to one or more Federal section 

112 standards (Part 63 standards 

specifically) which are also subject to 

the requirements of the Title V 

operating permits program. The 

delegation of authority under this action 

does not include authorities contained 

in CAA section 112(r). 

DATES: The rule is effective on January 

12, 2015 without further notice, unless 

EPA receives relevant adverse comment 

by December 12, 2014. If EPA receives 

such comment, EPA will publish a 

timely withdrawal in the Federal 

Register informing the public that the 

rule will not take effect.

I. Why are we delegating this program 

to ADEQ? 

Section 112(l) of the CAA enables a 

State to develop and submit to EPA for 

approval a program for partial or 

complete delegation of EPA’s authorities 

for the implementation and enforcement 

of the requirements found in section 112 

of the Act pertaining to the regulation of 

hazardous air pollutants (Federal 

section 112 rules). After notice and 

opportunity for public comment, the 

State program may be approved if EPA 

determines that: (1) the authorities 

contained in the program are adequate 

to assure compliance by all sources 

within the State with each applicable 

requirement, regulation, or requirement 

established by EPA under CAA section 

112; (2) the State has adequate authority 

and resources to implement the 

program; (3) the schedule for 

implementing the program and assuring 

compliance by affected sources is 

sufficiently expeditious: and (4) the 

program is otherwise in compliance 

with guidance issued by EPA under 

CAA section 112(l)(2) and is likely to 

satisfy the objectives of the CAA. Once 

approved, the air toxics program may be 

implemented and enforced by the 

delegated State or local agency, as well 

as EPA. Implementation by local 

agencies is dependent upon appropriate 

sub-delegation. 

II. What is the history of this request for 

delegation? 

In a Federal Register notice dated 

September 8, 1995, EPA Region 6 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
67074 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 218 / Wednesday, November 12, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

promulgated final interim approval of 

the Arkansas Operating Permit Program. 

60 FR 46771. As such, ADEQ met the 

up-front approval criteria for delegation 

of unchanged Part 63 standards, as set 

forth in 40 CFR 63.91(d). By letter dated 

June 7, 2010, ADEQ requested EPA’s 

delegation of authority and approval of 

the mechanism it will use to implement 

and enforce the delegated Part 63 

standards—that is, through its EPAapproved Title V Operating Permit 

Program (the effective date of the latest 

approved revision is November 8, 2004; 

40 CFR Part 70, Appendix A). ADEQ’s 

request does not seek delegation of the 

Part 63 standards applicable to area 

sources that do not federally require a 

Title V (Part 70) operating permit nor 

does ADEQ request delegation of the 

accidental release requirements of CAA 

section 112(r). 

On August 3, 2010, EPA found the 

State’s submittal complete. In this 

document EPA is taking final action to 

approve the mechanism for the 

implementation and enforcement of 

those Part 63 standards specifically 

identified in 40 CFR 63.99(a)(4), using 

the procedures set forth more 

specifically in the MOA between ADEQ 

and EPA. 

III. How will ADEQ implement this 

delegation? 

As stated in its letter, dated June 7, 

2010, ADEQ intends to implement and 

enforce the delegated Part 63 standards 

through its EPA-approved Title V 

program. In order to ensure timely 

implementation and enforcement of 

these standards, ADEQ and EPA have 

executed an MOA, dated September 17, 

2014, a copy of which has been placed 

in the docket associated with this 

rulemaking. As detailed more fully in 

the MOA, upon promulgation of a new 

or revised Part 63 standard that applies 

to Title V sources, ADEQ will issue or 

reopen the appropriate permit to 

include the new or revised Part 63 

standard according to the permit 

issuance schedule set forth in the MOA. 

After the permit has been revised to 

include the new or revised Part 63 

standard, ADEQ will be able to 

implement and enforce the terms of the 

permit containing the Part 63 standard 

requirements. Also, ADEQ must notify 

EPA within 45 days of the final 

promulgation of a new or revised Part 

63 standard if ADEQ does not intend to 

implement or enforce the standard 

under this delegation. ADEQ asserts that 

existing Part 63 standards have already 

been incorporated into Title V permits 

for most Title V sources in Arkansas 

subject to existing Part 63 standards; 

however, should ADEQ identify a Title 

V source where existing Part 63 

standards have not been incorporated 

into such permit, it will re-open the 

source’s Title V permit to incorporate 

those Part 63 standards. As such, EPA’s 

delegation of implementation and 

enforcement of the Part 63 standards 

found in 40 CFR 63.99(a)(4), established 

in this rulemaking, will be effective only 

after incorporation of those standards 

into the source’s Title V (Part 70) 

permit. Arkansas will assume 

responsibility for the timely 

implementation and enforcement 

required by each standard, as well as 

any further activities agreed to by ADEQ 

and EPA. Some activities necessary for 

effective implementation of the Part 63 

standards include receipt of initial 

notifications, recordkeeping, reporting 

and generally assuring that sources 

subject to a standard are aware of its 

existence. 

IV. What requirements did ADEQ meet 

to receive today’s approval? 

As stated above, CAA section 112(l)(5) 

sets forth the requirements for EPA 

approval of a State’s air toxics program. 

On November 26, 1993, EPA 

promulgated regulations to provide 

guidance relating to the approval of 

State programs under section 112(l) of 

the Act. 40 FR 62262. These rules were 

revised on September 14, 2000. 40 FR 

55809. That rulemaking outlined the 

requirements of approval with respect to 

various delegation options. The 

requirements for approval pursuant to 

section 112(l)(5) of the Act, for a 

program to implement and enforce Part 

63 standards as promulgated without 

changes (also known as ‘‘straight 

delegation’’) are found at 40 CFR 63.91. 

Any request for approval must meet all 

CAA section 112(l) approval criteria, as 

well as all approval criteria of 40 CFR 

63.91. 

With respect to the approval criteria 

for straight delegation, 40 CFR 63.91(a) 

provides that only the approval criteria 

of 40 CFR 63.91(d) be met. In turn, 40 

CFR 63.91(d)(3) states that interim or 

final Title V program approval will 

satisfy the criteria set forth in 40 CFR 

63.91(d), up-front approval criteria. The 

requirements for delegation approval 

specified in CAA section 112(l)(5)—that 

a State’s program contain adequate 

authorities, adequate resources for 

implementation, and an expeditious 

compliance schedule—are also 

requirements for an adequate operating 

permits program under 40 CFR Part 70 

(40 CFR 70.4). Therefore, EPA’s interim 

or final approval of a State’s Title V 

operating permits program should also 

meet the CAA section 112(l) 

requirements for delegation of the Part 

63 noted above as they apply to Title V 

(Part 70) sources. 

V. How did ADEQ meet the approval 

criteria? 

EPA granted final interim approval for 

the Arkansas Operating Permit Program 

under Part 70 in a rulemaking published 

September 8, 1995. 60 FR 46771. In the 

Federal Register notice proposing 

interim approval of the Arkansas 

Operating Permit Program, EPA 

discussed the delegation of unchanged 

Part 63 standards as they apply to Part 

70 sources and noted that Arkansas 

plans to use the mechanism of 

incorporation by reference to adopt 

unchanged Part 63 standards into its 

regulations. 59 FR 47828, 47830 

(September 19, 1994). In an October 9, 

2001 rulemaking, EPA took final action 

to fully approve the Arkansas Operating 

Permit Program. 66 FR 51312. In 

accordance with 40 CFR 63.91(d), the 

up-front approval criteria for delegation 

of unchanged Part 63 standards as 

requested by ADEQ have been met. 

However, EPA’s October 9, 2001 

Federal Register notice failed to discuss 

the mechanism associated with 

delegation of the Part 63 standards for 

sources subject to the Part 70 program. 

As discussed above, sources subject to 

the Part 70 program are those sources 

that are operating pursuant to a Part 70 

permit issued by the State, local agency 

or EPA. Sources not subject to the Part 

70 program are those sources that are 

not required to obtain a Part 70 permit 

from either the State, local agency or 

EPA (see 40 CFR 70.3); e.g., exempted 

area sources. As stated above, the CAA 

section 112(l) requirements for approval 

of the Arkansas’ program for straight 

delegation were satisfied when EPA 

granted approval of the Arkansas 

Operating Permit Program. EPA’s 

approval also met the up-front criteria 

set forth in 40 CFR 63.91(d). 

Since ADEQ intends to implement 

and enforce unchanged Part 63 

standards (‘‘straight delegation’’) 

through its EPA-approved Title V 

Operating Permit Program, there are 

several issues which need to be 

separately addressed and resolved in 

order to ensure the requirements for 

delegation under CAA section 112(l) 

and 40 CFR Part 63, Subpart E are met. 

See also 65 FR 55813 (September 14, 

2000). EPA believes all such issues have 

been addressed in the MOA, dated 

September 17, 2014, executed by ADEQ 

and EPA, a copy of which has been 

included in the docket for this 

rulemaking. ADEQ will implement and 

enforce Part 63 standards applicable to 

Title V sources required to obtain a Part 

70 permit by including the applicable 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 218 / Wednesday, November 12, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 67075 

Part 63 standards in Title V operating 

permits, in accordance with the 

procedures set forth in the MOA. The 

permit must be effective prior to the first 

substantial compliance date for all 

future new and revised Part 63 

standards, unless ADEQ has notified 

EPA in advance that it does not intend 

to accept delegation for implementation 

or enforcement, as discussed in the 

MOA referenced above. Adequate 

resources will be obtained through 

monies from the State’s Title V program 

that can be used to fund acceptable Title 

V activities. Upon promulgation of a 

new or revised Part 63 standard, ADEQ 

will immediately begin activities 

necessary for timely implementation of 

the standard. These activities will 

involve identifying sources subject to 

the applicable requirements and 

notifying these sources of the applicable 

requirements. Nothing in the Arkansas 

program for straight delegation is 

contrary to Federal guidance. 

VI. How are sources subject to certain 

listed standards going to be handled 

since ADEQ did not accept delegation 

of these standards? 

In its June 7, 2010, request for 

delegation of authority and approval of 

the mechanism used to implement and 

enforce the delegated Part 63 standards, 

ADEQ noted that it was not requesting 

delegation of Part 63 standards for area 

sources not required to obtain a Title V 

(Part 70) permit. ADEQ also noted that 

it was not requesting delegation of the 

accidental release requirements under 

CAA section 112(r). Since ADEQ is not 

accepting delegation of these standards, 

EPA will be the primary enforcement 

authority for those standards. However, 

these undelegated Part 63 standards 

remain requirements of the sources 

subject to these standards; therefore, 

ADEQ must ensure that the Part 63 

standard is included in the appropriate 

federally-enforceable permit for subject 

sources, and sources subject to these 

standards must continue to comply with 

their requirements. 

VII. What is being delegated? 

By letter dated July 7, 2010, ADEQ 

requested EPA delegate certain Part 63 

standards. ADEQ is requesting 

delegation and approval to implement 

and enforce the existing Part 63 

standards as they apply to Part 70 

sources, including major and area 

sources subject to the Title V (Part 70) 

permitting requirements. More 

specifically, ADEQ’s request included 

the Part 63 standards set forth in the 

MOA included in the docket for this 

rulemaking. See Docket No. EPA–R06– 

OAR–2012–0765. 

VIII. What is not being delegated? 

ADEQ has not requested, nor does 

this rulemaking approve, any delegation 

of those Part 63 standards that apply to 

area sources which do not require a 

Title V (Part 70) permit. In addition, 

EPA cannot delegate to a State any of 

the Category II authorities set forth in 40 

CFR 63.91(g) (2). These include the 

following provisions: § 63.6(g), 

Approval of Alternative Non-Opacity 

Standards; § 63.6(h)(9), Approval of 

Alternative Opacity Standards; 

§ 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval of Major 

Alternatives to Test Methods; § 63.8(f), 

Approval of Major Alternatives to 

Monitoring; and § 63.10(f), Approval of 

Major Alternatives to Recordkeeping 

and Reporting. In addition, some Part 63 

standards have certain provisions that 

cannot be delegated to the States. 

Therefore, any Part 63 standard that 

EPA is delegating to ADEQ that 

provides that certain authorities cannot 

be delegated are retained by EPA and 

not delegated. Furthermore, no 

authorities are delegated that require 

rulemaking in the Federal Register to 

implement, or where Federal overview 

is the only way to ensure national 

consistency in the application of the 

standards or requirements of CAA 

section 112. Finally, CAA section 112(r), 

the accidental release program 

authority, is not being delegated by this 

approval. All of the inquiries and 

requests concerning implementation 

and enforcement of the excluded 

standards in the State of Arkansas 

should be directed to the EPA Region 6 

Office. 

IX. How will applicability 

determinations under section 112 be 

made? 

In approving this delegation, the State 

will obtain concurrence from EPA on 

any matter involving the interpretation 

of section 112 of the Clean Air Act or 

40 CFR Part 63 to the extent that 

implementation, administration, or 

enforcement of those provisions are not 

covered by current EPA determinations 

or guidance. 

X. What information must ADEQ 

provide to EPA? 

ADEQ must provide any additional 

compliance related information to EPA, 

Region 6, Office of Enforcement and 

Compliance Assurance within 45 days 

of a request under 40 CFR 63.96(a). 

In receiving delegation for specific 

General Provisions authorities, ADEQ 

must submit to EPA Region 6, on a 

semi-annual basis, copies of 

determinations issued under these 

authorities. For Part 63 standards, these 

determinations include: Section 63.1, 

Applicability Determinations; Section 

63.6(e), Operation and Maintenance 

Requirements—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(f), Compliance with Non-Opacity 

Standards—Responsibility for 

Determining Compliance; Section 

63.6(h), Compliance with Opacity and 

Visible Emissions Standards— 

Responsibility for Determining 

Compliance; Sections 63.7(c)(2)(i) and 

(d), Approval of Site-Specific Test 

Plans; Section 63.7(e)(2)(i), Approval of 

Minor Alternatives to Test Methods; 

Section 63.7(e)(2)(ii) and (f), Approval 

of Intermediate Alternatives to Test 

Methods; Section 63.7(e)(iii), Approval 

of Shorter Sampling Times and Volumes 

When Necessitated by Process Variables 

or Other Factors; Sections 63.7(e)(2)(iv), 

(h)(2), and (h)(3), Waiver of Performance 

Testing; Sections 63.8(c)(1) and (e)(1), 

Approval of Site-Specific Performance 

Evaluation (Monitoring) Test Plans; 

Section 63.8(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 

63.8(f), Approval of Intermediate 

Alternatives to Monitoring; Section 63.9 

and 63.10, Approval of Adjustments to 

Time Periods for Submitting Reports; 

Section 63.10(f), Approval of Minor 

Alternatives to Recordkeeping and 

Reporting; Section 63.7(a)(4), Extension 

of Performance Test Deadline. 

XI. Should sources submit notices to 

EPA or ADEQ? 

For the delegated Part 63 standards, 

all of the information required pursuant 

to the general provisions and the 

relevant subpart of the Federal NESHAP 

(40 CFR Part 63) should be submitted 

directly to the ADEQ at the following 

address: Air Division, Arkansas 

Department of Environmental Quality, 

5301 Northshore Drive, North Little 

Rock, Arkansas 72118–5317. The ADEQ 

is the primary point of contact with 

respect to delegated Part 63 standards. 

Sources do not need to send a copy to 

EPA. EPA Region 6 waives the 

requirement that notifications and 

reports for delegated standards be 

submitted to EPA in addition to ADEQ 

in accordance with 40 CFR 63.9(a)(4)(ii) 

and 63.10(a)(4)(ii). For those standards 

that are not delegated, sources must 

continue to submit all appropriate 

information to EPA. 

XII. How will unchanged authorities be 

delegated to ADEQ in the future? 

Following the effective date of this 

delegation, ADEQ will only need to 

periodically submit a written request to 

EPA, Region 6, to update its approval of 

the delegation of authority to implement 

and enforce new or revised Part 63 


wreier-aviles on DSK5TPTVN1PROD with RULES
67076 Federal Register / Vol. 79, No. 218 / Wednesday, November 12, 2014 / Rules and Regulations 

standards through its approved Title V 

permitting program. In such request, 

ADEQ will reference the previous upfront approval demonstration and 

reaffirm that it still meets the up-front 

approval criteria. EPA will respond in 

writing to the request and take action in 

the Federal Register to inform the 

public and affected sources of EPA’s 

decision and to update 40 CFR 

63.99(a)(4), amending the Arkansas 

table of delegated Part 63 standards 

being implemented and enforced by 

ADEQ. 

XIII. What is today’s final action? 

Because ADEQ’s June 7, 2010, request 

and the associated MOA meet all 

requirements of CAA section 112(l) and 

40 CFR 63.91, EPA is promulgating final 

approval of ADEQ’s request for the 

delegation and approval of the 

mechanism used to implement and 

enforce certain Part 63 standards 

applicable to sources required to obtain 

a Title V (Part 70) permit, as more 

specifically set forth in the MOA, dated 

September 17, 2014. After the effective 

date of this document and the issuance 

of the appropriate permit, the 

implementation and enforcement of 

certain existing Part 63 standards 

(except for CAA section 112(r) 

requirements) which have been 

incorporated into the source’s Title V 

permit may be carried out by ADEQ in 

accordance with this delegation and the 

MOA. As for the Part 63 standards 

which have not yet been incorporated 

into permits, ADEQ’s authority to 

implement and enforce these standards 

becomes effective after the effective date 

of this action and the issuance of the 

appropriate federally-enforceable permit 

containing those standards. ADEQ’s 

authority to implement and enforce new 

and revised Part 63 standards will 

become effective according to the 

procedures outlined in the MOA, a copy 

of which is included in the docket for 

this rulemaking. 

Effective immediately, all 

notifications, reports and other 

correspondence required under the 

delegated Part 63 standards should be 

sent to the State of Arkansas after the 

permit incorporating those standards 

has been issued. Affected sources 

should send this information to: 

Arkansas Department of Environmental 

Quality, Air Division, 5301 Northshore 

Drive, North Little Rock, Arkansas 

72118–5317 

EPA is publishing this action without 

prior proposal because we view this as 

a non-controversial action and 

anticipate no adverse comments. 

However, in a separate document in this 

Federal Register publication, EPA is 

proposing to approve the requested 

delegation should relevant adverse 

comments be received. This action will 

be effective without further notice 

unless EPA receives relevant adverse 

comment by December 12, 2014. Should 

EPA receive such adverse comments, we 

will publish a final rule informing the 

public that this action will not take 

effect. Any parties interested in 

commenting on this action should do so 

at this time. If no such comments are 

received, the public is advised that this 

action will be effective on January 12, 

2015. 

Nothing in this action should be 

construed as permitting, allowing or 

establishing a precedent for any future 

request for revision to the approved 

delegation. Each request for revision to 

the approved delegation shall be 

considered separately in light of specific 

technical, economic, and environmental 

factors and in relation to relevant 

statutory and regulatory requirements. 

XIV. Administrative Requirements 

Under Executive Order 12866 (58 FR 

51735, October 4, 1993), this action is 

not a ‘‘significant regulatory action’’ and 

therefore is not subject to review by the 

Office of Management and Budget. For 

this reason, this action is also not 

subject to Executive Order 13211, 

‘‘Actions Concerning Regulations That 

Significantly Affect Energy Supply, 

Distribution, or Use’’ (66 FR 28355, May 

22, 2001). This action merely approves 

State law as meeting Federal 

requirements and imposes no additional 

requirements beyond those imposed by 

state law. Accordingly, the 

Administrator certifies that this rule 

will not have a significant economic 

impact on a substantial number of small 

entities under the Regulatory Flexibility 

Act (5 U.S.C. 601 et seq.). Because this 

rule approves pre-existing requirements 

under state law and does not impose 

any additional enforceable duty beyond 

that required by state law, it does not 

contain any unfunded mandate or 

significantly or uniquely affect small 

governments, as described in the 

Unfunded Mandates Reform Act of 1995 

(Pub. L. 104–4). 

This rule also does not have tribal 

implications because it will not have a 

substantial direct effect on one or more 

Indian tribes, on the relationship 

between the Federal Government and 

Indian tribes, or on the distribution of 

power and responsibilities between the 

Federal Government and Indian tribes, 

as specified by Executive Order 13175 

(65 FR 67249, November 9, 2000). This 

action also does not have Federalism 

implications because it does not have 

substantial direct effects on the States, 

on the relationship between the national 

government and the States, or on the 

distribution of power and 

responsibilities among the various 

levels of government, as specified in 

Executive Order 13132 (64 FR 43255, 

August 10, 1999). This action merely 

approves a state request to receive 

delegation of certain Federal standards, 

and does not alter the relationship or 

the distribution of power and 

responsibilities established in the Clean 

Air Act. This rule also is not subject to 

Executive Order 13045 (62 FR 19885, 

April 23, 1997), because it is not 

economically significant. 

In reviewing delegation submissions, 

EPA’s role is to approve submissions 

provided that they meet the criteria of 

the Clean Air Act. In this context, in the 

absence of a prior existing requirement 

for the State to use voluntary consensus 

standards (VCS), EPA has no authority 

to disapprove a request for delegation of 

section 112 standards for failure to use 

VCS. It would thus be inconsistent with 

applicable law for EPA to use VCS in 

place of a delegation submission that 

otherwise satisfies the provisions of the 

Clean Air Act. Thus, the requirements of 

section 12(d) of the National 

Technology Transfer and Advancement 

Act of 1995 (15 U.S.C. 272 note) do not 

apply. This rule does not impose an 

information collection burden under the 

provisions of the Paperwork Reduction 

Act of 1995 (44 U.S.C. 3501 et seq.). 

The Congressional Review Act, 5 

U.S.C. 801 et seq., as added by the Small 

Business Regulatory Enforcement 

Fairness Act of 1996, generally provides 

that before a rule may take effect, the 

agency promulgating the rule must 

submit a rule report, which includes a 

copy of the rule, to each House of the 

Congress and to the Comptroller General 

of the United States. EPA will submit a 

report containing this rule and other 

required information to the U.S. Senate, 

the U.S. House of Representatives, and 

the Comptroller General of the United 

States prior to publication of the rule in 

the Federal Register. A major rule 

cannot take effect until 60 days after it 

is published in the Federal Register. 

This action is not a ‘‘major rule’’ as 

defined by 5 U.S.C. 804(2). 

Under section 307(b)(1) of the Clean 

Air Act, petitions for judicial review of 

this action must be filed in the United 

States Court of Appeals for the 

appropriate circuit by January 12, 2015. 

Filing a petition for reconsideration by 

the Administrator of this final rule does 

not affect the finality of this rule for the 

purposes of judicial review nor does it 

extend the time within which a petition 

for judicial review may be filed, and 

shall not postpone the effectiveness of

be challenged later in proceedings to 

enforce its requirements. (See CAA 

section 307(b)(2)).

(4) Arkansas. (i) The following table 

lists the specific Part 63 standards that 

have been delegated unchanged to the 

Arkansas Department of Environmental 

Quality (hereinafter ‘‘ADEQ’’) for all 

sources subject to the Part 70 program. 

The ‘‘X’’ symbol is used to indicate each 

subpart that has been delegated. The 

delegations are subject to all of the 

conditions and limitations set forth in 

Federal law, regulations, policy, 

guidance, determinations, and the 

Memorandum of Agreement, dated 

September 17, 2014, entered into 

between the ADEQ and the U.S. 

Environmental Protection Agency, 

Region 6 (hereinafter ‘‘EPA’’) regarding 

section 112, Clean Air Act 

Implementation. Some authorities 

cannot be delegated and are retained by 

EPA. These include certain General 

Provisions authorities and specific parts 

of some standards. ADEQ’s authority to 

implement and enforce a delegated Part 

63 standard is effective when the 

standard is incorporated into the 

source’s Title V (Part 70) Operating 

Permit.
