FARR rules in the Code of Federal Regulations
The Federal Air Rules for Indian Reservations are a set of air quality regulations that apply to Indian reservations in Idaho, Oregon and Washington. The FARR became effective on June 7, 2005.
The FARR applies to all residents (both tribal members and non-tribal members) and businesses located within the federally-recognized exterior boundaries of the 39 reservations in Idaho, Oregon and Washington listed in the table below. The ownership status of land on the reservation does not affect how the rules apply. See also facilities currently registered under the FARR.

The FARR protects human health and the environment for approximately 200,000 people on reservations in the Pacific Northwest. Before these rules were passed, very few basic air quality rules applied to Indian reservations under the federal Clean Air Act. State and local air agencies do not have authority to administer their rules on Indian lands.
The EPA has not yet approved any tribal-managed air programs in Idaho, Oregon and Washington, so the FARR is an important step in ensuring that federally enforceable rules are in place to provide basic air quality protection on these reservations.
The EPA has sole enforcement authority under the FARR.
The FARR is made up of the following 16 federal rules published in the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR):
