SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: EPA 

approves state and local permitting 

authorities to administer the operating 

permit program set forth in title V of the 

Clean Air Act, 42 U.S.C. 7661–7661f. 

DAQEM administers a fully approved 

title V operating permit program. The 

Clean Air Act affords EPA the 

opportunity for a 45-day period to 

review, and object to as appropriate, 

operating permits proposed by 

permitting authorities. Section 505(b)(2) 

of the act authorizes any person to 

petition the EPA Administrator within 

60 days after the expiration of this 

review period to object to a state 

operating permit if EPA has not done so. 

Petitions must be based on objections to 

the permit that were raised with 

reasonable specificity during the public 

comment period provided by the state, 

unless the petitioner demonstrates that 

it was impracticable to raise these issues 

during the comment period or the 

grounds for the issues arose after this 

period. 

DAQEM submitted the proposed 

permit to EPA on June 3, 2003. EPA 

received the petition to object to the 

permit on August 29, 2003, prior to the 

deadline for section 505(b)(2) petitions. 

On September 22, 2005, the 

Administrator issued an order denying 

in full the petition submitted by Robert 

Hall. The order explains the reasons 

behind EPA’s decisions to grant or deny 

each issue. 

Dated: November 10, 2005.
