| 2010-28017 | Approval and Promulgation of Implementation Plans; Kentucky: Prevention of Significant Deterioration; Greenhouse Gas Permitting Authority and Tailoring Rule Revision | Proposed Rule | EPA is proposing to approve a draft revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by Kentucky's Energy and Environment Cabinet, through the Kentucky Division for Air Quality (KDAQ), to EPA on August 5, 2010, for parallel processing. The proposed SIP revision makes two changes impacting the Commonwealth of Kentucky's New Source Review (NSR) Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program. First, the proposed revision provides the Commonwealth of Kentucky with authority to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG) under its PSD program. Second, the proposed SIP revision establishes appropriate emission thresholds for determining which new stationary sources and modification projects become subject to Kentucky's PSD permitting requirements for their GHG emissions. The first component of the proposed revision is necessary because the Commonwealth of Kentucky is required to apply its PSD program to GHG-emitting sources, and unless it does so (or unless EPA promulgates a Federal implementation plan (FIP) to do so), such sources will be unable to receive preconstruction permits and therefore may not be able to construct or modify. The second component is necessary because without it, on January 2, 2011, PSD requirements would apply at the 100 or 250 tons per year (tpy) levels provided under the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act), which would overwhelm Kentucky's permitting resources. EPA is proposing approval of the Commonwealth of Kentucky's August 5, 2010, SIP revision relating to PSD requirements for GHG-emitting sources because the Agency has made the preliminary determination that this SIP revision is in accordance with the CAA and EPA regulations regarding PSD permitting for GHGs. | 2010-11-05 | 2010 | 11 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2010/11/05/2010-28017/approval-and-promulgation-of-implementation-plans-kentucky-prevention-of-significant-deterioration | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2010-11-05/pdf/2010-28017.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | EPA is proposing to approve a draft revision to the State Implementation Plan (SIP), submitted by Kentucky's Energy and Environment Cabinet, through the Kentucky Division for Air Quality (KDAQ), to EPA on August 5, 2010, for parallel processing.
