Current law prohibits renewals.
The order of abatement statutes were passed in 1992 and with the exception of the conditional enactment to ARS 49-511, have not been amended since that date. Title V is a portion of the 1990 federal Clean Air Act amendments which outlines the Operating Permits Program. The Operating Permits Program was made into law to uniformly limit the emissions from major sources of criteria air pollutants throughout the United States, requiring states to implement permit programs at least as stringent as federal requirements to avoid federal sanctions. A default Federal permit program is implemented in those states that fail to implement their own federally-approved permit program, ensuring that all major sources must comply with the applicable Federal Clean Air Act regulations. EPA has the power to overrule state permit decisions to ensure compliance.
