Narrative Summary of New Rule or Rule Changes: New Rule Amended Rule 

The amendments to Rule 10.1 are to address concerns brought up by a review by the California Air Resources 

Board, to differentiate different state and federal requirements, and to submit only those federally enforceable 

portions to be approved by USEPA for inclusion in the SIP. Specifically, several definitions were modified such 

that they would be federally enforceable. The requirements section was modified to separate Federal BACT and 

offset thresholds from California BACT and offset thresholds. The calculation section was modified to meet 

federal "actual to potential" methods, while retaining the existing "potential to potential" calculation methods.

Pollutant(s) Regulated by the Rule (Check): ROG (NOx) SO2 

 (CO) PM TAC (name):

VI. IMPACT ON AIR QUALITY PLAN

 No Impact Impacts RFP Impacts attainment 

Discussion: Due to differences in the California and Federal New Source Review programs, the Board approved the rule 

such that Federal requirements would be separated from requirements based on California requirments. The Feather 

River Air Quality Management District requests that only the following sections be submitted for approval in the State 

Implementation Plan.

Sections A, B, C, D, E.1.a, E.2.a.1, E.2.b, E.2.c, E.2.d, E.2.e.1 Table 2, E.2.e.2, E.2.e.3, E.2.e.4 E.2.f, E.3, E.4, E.5, E.6,

E.7, F, G, H.1, H.2, H.3, H.4, H.5, H.6, H.7.a, H.7.b, H.8, H.9, H.10, H.11, and I of Regulation X, Rule 10.1 – New Source
