| 2012-5431 | Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Title V Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule Step 3, GHG Plantwide Applicability Limitations and GHG Synthetic Minor Limitations | Proposed Rule | This proposal concerns the third step (Step 3) in the EPA's Tailoring Rule. We are proposing to maintain the applicability thresholds for greenhouse gas (GHG)-emitting sources at the current levels. We are also proposing two streamlining approaches, which will improve the administration of GHG Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and title V permitting programs. The first proposal addresses the implementation of GHG plantwide applicability limitations (PALs). We propose to allow permitting authorities to issue GHG PALs on either a mass-basis (tpy) or a carbon dioxide equivalent (CO<INF>2</INF>e)-basis and to allow PALs to be used as an alternative approach for determining whether a project is a major modification and whether GHG emissions are subject to regulation. The second proposal would create the regulatory authority for the EPA to issue synthetic minor limitations for GHGs in areas subject to a GHG PSD Federal Implementation Plan (FIP). We also discuss our progress in evaluating the suitability of other streamlining approaches and solicit further comment. | 2012-03-08 | 2012 | 3 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2012/03/08/2012-5431/prevention-of-significant-deterioration-and-title-v-greenhouse-gas-tailoring-rule-step-3-ghg | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2012-03-08/pdf/2012-5431.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | This proposal concerns the third step (Step 3) in the EPA's Tailoring Rule.
