INTRODUCTION
This document has been produced in compliance with Section 110(h)(l)
of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977. The Federally enforceable
regulations contained in the State Implementation Plans (SIPs) have been
compiled for all 56 States and territories (with the exception of the
Northern Mariana Islands). They consist of both the Federally approved
State and/or local air quality regulations as indicated in the Federal
'Register and the Federally promulgated regulations for the State, as
indicated in the Federal Register. Regulations which fall into one of
the above categories as of January 1* 1978, have been incorporated. As
mandated by Congress, this document will be updated annually. State
and/or local air quality regulations which have not been Federally
approved as of January 1, 1978, are not included here; omission of these
regulations from this document in no way affects the ability of the
respective Federal, State, or local agencies to enforce such regulations.
There have been recent changes in the Federal enforceability of
parking management regulations and indirect source regulations. The
October, 1977, appropriation bill for EPA prohibited Federal enforcement
of parking management regulations in the absence of specific Federal
authorizing legislation. Federally promulgated parking management
regulations have, therefore, been suspended indefinitely. Pursuant to
the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments, indirect source regulations may not
be required for the approval of a given SIP. Consequently, any State
adopted indirect source regulations may be suspended or revoked; State
adopted indirect source regulations contained in an applicable SIP
are Federally enforceable. More importantly, EPA may only promulgate
indirect source review regulations which .are specific to Federally
funded, operated, or owned facilities or projects. Therefore, the
Federally promulgated indirect source regulations appearing in this
document are not enforceable by EPA except as they relate to Federal
facilities.
Since State air quality regulations vary widely in their organization,
content, and language, a standardized subject index is utilized in this
document. Index listings consist of both contaminant and activity oriented
categories to facilitate usage. For example, for regulations which apply
to copper smelters, one might look under sulfur compounds (50.2), particu-
late matter process weight (50.1.1), or copper smelters (51.15). Federal
regulations pertaining to a given State immediately follow the approved
State and local regulations.
Additionally, a summary sheet of the information included in each
comprehensive document is presented prior to the regulatory text to
allow one to quickly assess the contents of the document. Specifically,
the summary sheets contain the date of submittal to EPA of each revision
in
-------
to the SIP and the date of the Federal Register in which the revision
was either approved or disapproved by EPA. Finally, a brief description
or reference of the regulation which was submitted is also included.
This document is not intended to provide a tool for determining
the enforceability of any given regulation. As stated above, it is
intended to provide a comprehensive compilation.of those regulations
which are incorporated directly or by reference into Title 40, Part 52,
of the Code of Federal Regulations. Consequently, the exclusion of a
Federally approved regulation from this document does not diminish the
enforceability of the regulation; Similarly, the inclusion of a given
regulation (for example, regulations governing pollutants, such as odors,
for which there is no national ambient air quality standards) in this •
document does not, in itself, render the regulation enforceable.

DEPARTMENT OF POLLUTION CONTROL
CHAPTER 17-2
AIR POLLUTION
(2.0) 17-2.01 DECLARATION AND INTENT
The State of Florida Department of Pollution Control promulgates this
chapter to eliminate, prevent, and control air pollution. This chapter
shall apply to all sources of air pollution except open burning or
the use of outdoor heating devices allowed by chapter 17-5, Florida
Administrative Code, unless otherwise provided in this chapter.
To protect and enhance the air quality of Florida, this chapter furthers
the Department's nondegradation policy and established ambient air
quality standards and emission standards. The polity inherent in the
standards shall be to protect the air quality existing at the time the
air quality standards were adopted or to upgrade or enhance the quality
of the air of the State. In any event, where a new or increased source
of air pollution poses a possibility of degrading existing high air
quality or ambient air quality established by this chapter, such source
or proposed source shall not be issued a Department permit until the
Department has reasonable assurance that such source construction or
development will not violate this chapter.
This chapter is adopted to achieve and maintain such levels of air
quality as will protect human health and safety, prevent injury to plant
and animal life and property, foster the comfort and convenience of the
people, promote the economic and social development of this State and
facilitate the enjoyment of the natural attractions of this State.

(4) (a) Air Quality Standards Violated - No person shall build, erect,
construct, or implant any new source or operate, modify or
rebuild an existing source or by any other means release or
take action which would result in release of air pollutants
into the atmosphere of any region, which will, as determined
by the Board, result in, including concentrations of existing
air pollutants, ambient air concentrations greater than ambient
air quality standards.
(b) Nondegradation - In those counties of the State which have, on
the effective date of this chapter, better air quality than
that defined by the Ambient Air Quality Standards, no person
shall emit into the atmosphere any air pollutant which degrades
that quality.
(5) Concealment - No person shall build, erect, install or use any
article, machine, equipment or other contrivance, the use of
which will conceal an emission which would otherwise constitute
a violation of any of the provision of this chapter.
(6) Circumvention - No person shall circumvent any air pollution control
device, or allow the emission of air pollutants without the
applicable air pollution control device operating properly.

(2.0) 17-2.04 PROHIBITIVE ACTS
(1) Visible Emissions - No person shall cause, let, permit, suffer or
allow to be discharged into the atmosphere any air pollutants from:
(a) Existing Sources, until July 1, 1975, the density of which is
equal to or greater than that designated as Number 2 on the
Ringelmann Chart or the opacity of which is equal to or
greater than 40 percent.
(b) New Sources, and after July 1, 1975, existing sources, the
density of which is equal to or greater than that designated as
Number 1 on the Ringelmann Chart or the opacity of which is equal
to or greater than 20 percent.
(c) This subsection 17-2.04(1) does not apply to emissions emitted
in accordance with specified emission limiting standards or in
accordance with the process weight table (Table I) provided
in this chapter.
(d) If "the presence :ef uncombined water is the only reason for
failure to meet visible emission standards given in this
section such failure shall not be a violation of this rule.
(2) Particulate Matter - No person shall cause, let, permit, suffer,
or allow the emission of particulate matter from any air pollutant
source in total quantities in excess of the amount shown in Table
I, except as otherwise provided for in this chapter for specific
emission limiting standards of particulate matter from specified
sources.

Interpolation of the data in Table I for the process.weight rates
up to 60,000 pounds per hour shall be accomplished by the use of
the equation: E= 3.59P0-6 , P less than or equal to 30 tons per
hour and interpolation and extrapolation of the data for process
weight rates in excess of 60,000 pounds per day shall be accomplished
by use of the equation: E= 17.31PO-16,p -js greater than 30 tons
per hour. Where: E = Emissions in pounds per hour. P = Process
Weight rate in tons per hour. Application of mass emission limita-
tions on the basis of all similar units at a plant is recommended
in order to avoid unequal application of this type of limitation
to plants with the same total emission potential but different size
units. Upon establishing the total mass limitation, individual
source emissions will be determined by prorating the mass emission
total on the basis of the percentage weight input to each source
process.
(3) Fugitive Participate - No person shall cause, let, permit, suffer or
allow the emissions of particulate matter, from any source whatsoever,
including but not limited to vehicular movement, transportation of
materials, construction, alteration, demolition or wrecking, or
industrially related activities such as loading, unloading, storing
or hand!ing,without taking reasonable precautions to prevent such
emission, except particulate matter emitted in accordance with the
weight process table (Table I), the visible emissions standards or
specific source limiting standards specified in this chapter.
(4) Objectionable Odor Prohibited - No person shall cause, suffer, allow
or permit the discharge of air pollutants which cause or contribute
to an objectionable odor.
(5) Volatile organic compounds emissions or organic solvents emissions.

comparable cost (including all costs such as contract
revision or termination costs) with fuels allowed under this
rule, the Board may establish revised emission limiting
standards.
Note: This revision is approved for all areas of the State
with the exception of Escambia, Duval and Hillsborough
Counties. This revision is disapproved for Escambia
.County and EPA has taken no action at this time on
the revision for Duval County. The result is that the
previously approved limits remafn in effect in these
two counties. "The Administrator approves the revised
liquid fuel regulation as it applies to Hillsborough
County and disapproves the solid fuel emission
limitations as they apply to the Big Bend and Gannon
Station. This disapproved action has the effect of
leaving in force the emission limit of 1.5 Ibs S02/
106 BTU for solid fuel at these two facilities."

(8.0) 17-2.06 AIR POLLUTION EPISODE
An episode describes a condition which exists when meteorological
conditions and rates of discharge of air pollutants combine to produce
pollutant levels in the atmosphere which, if sustained, can lead to a
substantial threat to the health of the people. In order to prevent
episode conditions from continuing or from developing into more severe
conditions, positive action and a rapid abatement response is necessary.
The severity of an episode has been classified upon the basis of the
criteria given in the following sections with the three levels, alert,
warning and emergency described.
Due to the exigent nature of named episodes the Director shall
determine and declare that an air pollution episode exists. His
determination shall be in accordance with the following criteria: (1)
(1) (a) Air Pollution Forecast - The existence or forecast of a stagnant
atmospheric condition as advised by a National Weather Service
advisory is in effect or an equivalent state or local deter-
mination of a stagnant condition.
(b) Alert - The alert level is that concentration of pollutants at
which first stage control actions
be declared when any one of the following levels is reached at
any monitoring site:
(1) Sulfur Dioxide (SOg) - 800 micrograms per cubic meter
(0.3 ppm) 24 hour average.

(0.15 ppm), 24 hour average,
and meteorological conditions are such that pollutant concen-
trations can be expected to remain at the above levels for twelve
(12) or more hours or increase unless control actions are taken.
(c) Warning - The warning level indicates that air quality is con-
tinuing to degrade and that additional control actions are neces-
sary. A warning shall be declared when anyone of the following
levels is reached at any monitoring site:
(1) Sulfur Dioxide (S02) - 1600 micrograms per cubic meter
(0.6 ppm), 24 hour average.
(2) Parti cul ate - 5.0 COHs or 625 micrograms per cubic meter,
24 hour average.
(3) Sulfur Dioxide (SOg) and Particulate combined - product of
, 24 hour average and COHs equal to 0.8 or product
of S02 micrograms per cubic meter, 24 hour average equal
to 261 X 103
(4) Carbon Monoxide (CO) - 34 milligrams per cubic meter
(30 ppm), 8 hour average.
(5) Oxidant (03) - 800 milligrams per cubic meter (0.4 ppm) -
1 hour average.
(6) Nitrogen Dioxide (N02) - 2260 milligrams per cubic meter
(1.2 ppm) - 1 hour average; 565 milligrams per cubic meter
(0.3 ppm), 24 hour average,
and meteorological conditions are such that pollutant concen-
trations can be expected to remain at the above levels for twelve
(12) or more hours or increase unless control actions are taken.
-25-
-------
(d) Emergency - The emergency level indicates that air quality is
continuing to degrade to a level that should never be reached
and that the most stringent control actions are necessary.
An emergency shall be declared when any one of the following
levels is reached at any monitoring site:
(1) Sulfur Dioxide (S02) - 2,100 micrograms per cubic meter
(0.8 ppm), 24 hour average.
(2) Particulate - 7.0 COHs or 875 micrograms per cubic meter
24 hour average.
(3) Sulfur Dioxide (S02) and Particulate combined - product of
S0« ppm, 24 hour average and COHs equal to 1.2 or product
of S02 micrograms per cubic meter, 24 hour average and
particulate micrograms per cubic meter, 24 hour average
equal to 393 X 10 .
(4) CO - 46 milligrams per cubic meter (40 ppm), 8 hour
average.
(5) Oxidant (03) - 1,200 micrograms per cubic meter (0.6 ppm),

twelve (12) or more hours.
(e) Area of Episode. The Director shall, when declaring any epi-
sode level, declare the counties in which the episode exists.
(f) Termination - Once declared, any episode level will remain in
effect until the pollutant concentration increases to meet the
next higher level criteria or decreases to a point below the
declared criteria level.
(2) (a) Emission Reduction Plans and Actions. Upon a declaration by
the Director that any episode level exists—alert, warning, or
emergency—any person responsible for the operation or conduct
of activities which result in emission of air pollutants shall
take actions as required for such source or activity for the
declared episode level as set forth in Episode Tables I, II, and
III of this section and shall put into effect the Preplanned
Abatement Strategy.
-26-
-------
(b) Preplanned Abatement Strategies - Any person responsible
for one or more air pollutant sources shall prepare and
submit, upon written request from the Department, a stand-by
plan which describes the action which will be taken by that
person to reduce emissions when an episode is declared. The
plan shall be submitted within 30 days of the request and will
be subject to approval, modification or rejection by the
Department. The plan shall be in writing and shall include
but not be limited to:
(1) Identity and location of pollutant sources and of
contaminants discharged.
(2) Approximate amount of normal emission and of reduction
of emission expected.

(a) At least one public hearing is held in or near the
area affected and this public hearing is held in
accordance with procedures established in 51.4 of
this chapter, and
(b) Other States, Indian Governing Bodies, and Federal
Land Managers whose lands may be affected by the
proposed redesignation are notified at least 30 days
prior to the public hearing, and

-------
(c) A discussion of the reasons for the proposed redes-
ignation is available for public inspection at least
30 days prior to the hearing and the notice announc-
ing the hearing contains appropriate notification of
the availability of such discussion, and
(d) The proposed redesignation is based on the record of
the State's hearing, which must reflect the basis
for the proposed redesignation, including consider-
ation of (1) growth anticipated in the area, (2)
the social, environmental, and economic effects of
such redesignation upon the area being proposed for
redesignation and upon other areas and States, and
(3) any impacts of such proposed redesignation upon
regional or national interests.
(e) The redesignation is proposed after consultation
with the elected leadership of local and other sub-
state general purpose governments in the area cov-
ered by the proposed redesignation.
(i1i) Except as provided in paragraph (c) (3) (iv) of this
section, a State in which lands owned by the Federal Gov-
ernment are located may submit to the Administrator a
proposal to redesignate such lands Class I, Class II, or
Class III in accordance with subdivision (ii) of this
subparagraph provided that:
(a) The redesignation is consistent with adjacent State
and privately owned land, and
(b) Such redesignation is proposed after consultation
with the Federal Land Manager.
(iv) Notwithstanding subdivision (iii) of this subparagraph,
the Federal Land Manager may submit to the Administrator
a proposal to redesignate any Federal lands to a more
restrictive designation than would otherwise be applic-
able provided that:
(a) The Federal Land Manager follows procedures equiv-
alent to those required of States under paragraph
(c) (3) (ii) and,
(b) Such redesignation is proposed after consultation
with the State(s) in which the Federal Land is lo-
cated or which border the Federal Land.
(v) Nothing in this section is intended to convey authority
to the States over Indian Reservations where States have
not assumed such authority under other laws nor is it
intended to deny jurisdiction which States have assumed
-50-

under other laws. Where a State has not assumed juris-
diction over an Indian Reservation the appropriate In-
dian Governing Body may submit to the Administrator a
proposal to redesignate areas Class I, Class II, or
Class III, provided that:
(a) The Indian Governing Body follows procedures equiv-
alent to those required of States under paragraph
(c) (3) (11) and,
(b) Such redesignation is proposed after consultation
with the State(s) in which the Indian Reservation
is located or which border the Indian Reservation
and, for those lands held in trust, with the approv-
al of the Secretary of the Interior.
(vi) The Administrator shall approve, within 90 days, any re-
designation proposed pursuant to this subparagraph as
follows:
(a) Any redesignation proposed pursuant to subdivisions
(ii) and (ill) of this subparagraph shall be approv-
ed unless the Administrator determines (1) that the
requirements of subdivisions (11) and (111) of this
subparagraph have not been complied with, (2) that
the State has arbitrarily and capriciously disre-
garded relevant considerations set forth in sub-
paragraph (3) (11) (d) of this paragraph, or (3)
that the State has not requested and received dele-
gation of responsibility for carrying out the new
source review requirements of paragraphs (d) and (e)
of this section.
(b) Any redesignation proposed pursuant to subdivision
(1v) of this subparagraph shall be approved unless
he determines (1) that the requirements of subdivi-
sion (iv) of this subparagraph have not been complied
with, or (2) that the Federal Land Manager has arbi-
trarily and capriciously disregarded relevant con-
siderations set forth in subparagraph (3) (ii) (d) of
this paragraph.
(c) Any redesignation submitted pursuant to subdivision
(v) of this subparagraph shall be approved unless he
determines (1) that the requirements of subdivision
(v) of this subparagraph have not been complied with,
or (2) that the Indian Governing Body has arbitrar-
ily and capriciously disregarded relevant consider-
ations set forth in subparagraph (3) (ii) (d) of this
paragraph.
-51-
-------
(d) Any redesignation proposed pursuant to this para-
graph shall be approved only after the Administrator
has solicited written comments from affected Federal
agencies and Indian Governing Bodies and from the
public on the proposal.
(e) Any proposed redesignation protested to the propos-
ing State, Indian Governing Body, or Federal Land
Manager and to the Administrator by another State or
Indian Governing Body because of the effects upon
such protesting State or Indian Reservation shall be
approved by the Administrator only if he determines
that in his judgment the redesignation appropriately
balances considerations of growth anticipated in the
area proposed to be redesignated; the social, envi-
ronmental and economic effects of such redesignation
upon the area being redesignated and upon other areas
and States; and any impacts upon regional or nation-
al interests.
(f) The requirements of paragraph (c) (3) (vi) (a) (3)
that a State request and receive delegation of the
new source review requirements of this section as a
condition to approval of a proposed redesignation,
shall include as a minimum receiving the administra-
tive and technical functions of the new source re-
view. The Administrator will carry out any required
enforcement action in cases where the State does not
have adequate legal authority to initiate such ac-
tions. The Administrator may waive the requirements
of paragraph (c) (3) (vi) (a) (3) if the State .Attor-
ney-General has determined that the State cannot ac-
cept delegation of the administrative/technical func-
tions.
(v1i) If the Administrator disapproves any proposed area desig-
nation under this subparagraph, the State, Federal Land
Manager or Indian Governing Body, as appropriate, may re-
submit the proposal after correcting the deficiencies
noted by the Administrator or reconsidering any area des-
ignation determined by the Administrator to be arbitrary
and capricious.
(d) Review of new sources
(1) The provisions of this paragraph have been incorporated by refer-
ence into the applicable implementation plans fcr various States,
as provided in Subparts B through ODD of this part. Where this
paragraph is so incorporated, the requirements of this paragraph
apply to any new or modified stationary source of the type iden-
tified below which has not commenced construction or modification
prior to June 1, 1975 except as specifically provided below. A
-52-
-------
source which is modified, but does not increase the amount of
sulfur oxides or particulate matter emitted, or is modified to
utilize an alternative fuel, or higher sulfur content fuel, shall
not be subject to this paragraph.
(i) Fossil-Fuel Steam Electric Plants of more than 1000 mil-
lion B.T.U. per hour heat input.
(ii) Coal Cleaning Plants.
(iii) Kraft Pulp Mills.
(iv) Portland Cement Plants.
(v) Primary Zinc Smelters.
(vi) Iron and Steel Mills.
(vii) Primary Aluminum Ore Reduction Plants.
(viii) Primary Copper Smelters.
(ix) Municipal Incinerators capable of charging more than 250
tons of refuse per 24 hour day.
(x) Sulfuric Acid Plants.
(xi) Petroleum Refineries.
(xii) Lime Plants.
(xiii) Phosphate Rock Processing Plants.
(xiv) By-Product Coke Oven Batteries.
(xv) Sulfur Recovery Plants.
(xvi) Carbon Black Plants (furnace process).
(xvii) Primary Lead Smelters.
(xviii) Fuel Conversion Plants.
(xix) Ferroalloy production facilities commencing construction
after October 5, 1975.
(2) No owner or operator shall commence construction or modification
of a source subject to this paragraph unless the Administrator de-
termines that, on the basis of information submitted pursuant to
subparagraph (3) of this paragraph:
-53-
-------
(i) The effect on air quality concentration of the source or
modified source, in conjunction with the effects of growth
and reduction in emissions after January 1, 1975, of other
sources in the area affected by the proposed source, will
not violate the air quality increments applicable in the
area where the source will be located nor the air quality
increments applicable in any other areas. The analysis of
emissions growth and reduction after January 1, 1975, of
other sources in the areas affected by the proposed source
shall include all new and modified sources granted approv-
al to construct pursuant to this paragraph; reduction in
emissions from existing sources which contributed to air
quality during all or part of 1974; and general commer-
cial, residential, industrial, and other sources of emis-
sions growth not exempted by paragraph (c) (2) (111) of
this section which has occurred since January 1, 1975.
(ii) The new or modified source will meet an emission limit,
to be specified by the Administrator as a condition to
approval, which represents that level of emission reduc-
tion which would be achieved by the application of best
available control technology, as defined in 52.01 (f),
for particulate matter and sulfur dioxide. If the Admin-
istrator determines that technological or economic limi-
tations on the application of measurement methodology to
a particular class of sources would make the imposition
of an emission standard infeasible, he may instead pre-
scribe a design or equipment standard requiring the appli-
cation of best available control technology. Such standard
shall to the degree possible set forth the emission re-
ductions achievable by implementation of such design or
equipment, and shall provide for compliance by means which
achieve equivalent results.
(iii) With respect to modified sources, the requirements of sub-
paragraph (2) (ii) of this paragraph shall be applicable
only to the facility or facilities from which emissions
are increased.
(3) In making the determinations required by paragraph (d) (2) of this
section, the Administrator shall, as a minimum, require the owner
or operator of the source subject to this paragraph to submit:
site information, plans, description, specifications, and drawings
showing the design of the source; information necessary to de-
termine the impact that the construction or modification will have
on sulfur dioxide and particulate matter air quality levels; and
any other information necessary to determine that best available
control technology will be applied. Upon request of the Adminis-
trator, the owner or operator of the source shall provide informa-
tion on the nature and extent of general commercial, residential,
industrial, and other growth which has occurred in the area af-
fected by the source's emissions (such area to be specified by the
-54-
-------
Administrator) since January 1, 1975.
(4) (i) Where a new or modified source is located on Federal
Lands, such source shall be subject to the procedures
set forth in paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section.
Such procedures shall be in addition to applicable pro-
cedures conducted by the Federal Land Manager for admin-
istration and protection of the affected Federal Lands.
Where feasible, the Administrator will coordinate his
review and hearings with the Federal Land Manager to
avoid duplicate administrative procedures.
(11) New or modified sources which are located on Indian
Reservations shall be subject to procedures set forth in
paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section. Such procedures
shall be administered by the Administrator in cooperation
with the Secretary of the Interior with respect to lands
over which the State has not assumed jurisdiction under
other laws.
(iii) Whenever any new or modified source is subject to action
by a Federal Agency which might necessitate preparation
of an environmental impact statement pursuant to the
National Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321), re-
view by the Administrator conducted pursuant to this
paragraph shall be coordinated with the broad environmen-
tal reviews under that Act, to the maximum extent feas-
ible and reasonable.
(5) Where an owner or operator has applied for.permission to con-
struct or modify pursuant to this paragraph and the proposed
source would be located in an area which has been proposed for
redesignation to a more stringent class (or the State, Indian
Governing Body, or Federal Land Manager has announced such con-
sideration), approval shall not be granted until the Administra-
tor has acted on the proposed redesignation.
(e) Procedures for public participation
(1) (1) Within 20 days after receipt of an application to con-
struct, or any addition to such application, the Admin-
istrator shall advise the owner or operator of any de-
ficiency in the information submitted in support of the
application. In the event of such a deficiency, the date
of receipt of the application for the purpose of para-
graph (e) (1) (ii) of this section shall be the date on
which all required information is received by the Admin-
istrator.
(ii) Within 30 days after receipt of a complete application,

als, if any, considered by the Administrator in mak-
ing his preliminary determination; and
(c) Notify the public, by prominent advertisement in
newspaper of general circulation in each region in
which the proposed source would be constructed, of
the opportunity for written public comment on the in-
formation submitted by the owner or operator and the
Administrator's preliminary determination on the ap-
pro vability of the source.
(iii) A copy of the notice required pursuant to this subpara-
graph shall be sent to the applicant and to officials and
agencies having cognizance over the locations where the
source will be situated as follows: State and local air
pollution control agencies, the chief executive of the
city and county; any comprehensive regional land use plan-
ning agency; and any State, Federal Land Manager or In-
dian Governing Body whose lands will be significantly af-
fected by the source's emissions.
(iv) Public comments submitted in writing within 30 days after
the date such information is made available shall be con-
sidered by the Administrator in making his final decision
on the application. No later than TO days after the
close of the public comment period, the applicant may sub-
mit a written response to any comments submitted by the
public. The Administrator shall consider the applicant's
response in making his final decision. All comments shall
be made available for public'inspection in at least one
location in the region in which the source would be located.
(v) The Administrator shall take final action on an applica-
tion within 30 days after the close of the public comment
period. The Administrator shall notify the applicant in
writing of his approval, conditional approval, or denial
of the application, and shall set forth his reasons for
conditional approval or denial. Such notification shall
be made available for public inspection in at least one
location in the region in which the source would be lo-
cated.

(vi) The Administrator may extend each of the time periods
specified in paragraph (e) (1) (ii), (iv), or (v) of this
section by no more than 30 days or such other period as
agreed to by the applicant and the Administrator.
(2) Any owner or operator who constructs, modifies, or operates a
stationary source not in accordance with the application, as ap-
proved and conditioned by the Administrator, or any owner or op-
erator of a stationary source subject to this paragraph who com-
mences construction or modification after June 1, 1975, without
applying for and receiving approval hereunder, shall be subject
to enforcement action under section 113 of the Act.
(3) Approval to construct or modify shall become invalid if construc-
tion or expansion is not commenced within 18 months after receipt
of such approval or if construction is discontinued for a period
of 18 months or more. The Administrator may extend such time pe-
riod upon a satisfactory showing that an extension is justified.
(4) Approval to construct or modify shall not relieve any owner or
operator of the responsibility to comply with the control strat-
egy and all local, State, and Federal regulations which are part
of the applicable State Implementation Plan.
(f) Delegation of authority
(1) The Administrator shall have the authority to delegate responsi-
bility for implementing the procedures for conducting source re-
view pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e), in accordance with sub-
paragraphs (2), (3), and (4) of this paragraph.
(2) Where the Administrator delegates the responsibility for imple-
menting the procedures for conducting source review pursuant to
this section to any Agency, other than a regional office of the
Environmental Protection Agency, the following provisions shall
apply:
(i) Where the agency designated is not an air pollution con-
trol agency, such agency shall consult with the appropri-
ate State and local air pollution control agency prior to
making any determination required by paragraph (d) of
this section. Similarly, where the agency designated
does not have continuing responsibilities for managing
land use, such agency shall consult with the appropriate
State and local agency which is primarily responsible for
managing land use prior to making any determination re-
quired by paragraph (d) of this section.
(ii) A copy of the notice pursuant to paragraph (e) (1) (ii)
(c) of this section shall be sent to the Administrator
through the appropriate regional office.

(3) In accordance with Executive Order 11752, the Administrator's
authority for implementing the procedures for conducting source
review pursuant to this section shall not be delegated, other than
to a regional office of the Environmental Protection Agency, for
new or modified sources which are owned or operated by the Federal
government or for new or modified sources located on Federal lands;
except that, with respect to the latter category, where new or
modified sources are constructed or operated on Federal lands pur-
suant to leasing or other Federal agreements, the Federal land
Manager may at his discretion, to the extent permissible under ap-
plicable statutes and regulations, require the lessee or permittee
to be subject to a designated State or local agency's procedures
developed pursuant to paragraphs (d) and (e) of this section.
(4) The Administrator's authority for implementing the procedures for
conducting source review pursuant to this section shall not be re-
delegated, other than to a regional office of the Environmental
Protection Agency, for new or modified sources which are located
