Agencies with Section 105 grants that are in their fifth year
of their grant project/budget period, must submit a new grant
application package by August 1, 2019. Agencies are
encouraged to include in their grant application a two-year
project/budget period from 10/01/2019 to 09/30/2021. The
state agencies whose Section 105 program is part of a
performance partnership grant (PPG), may submit a new or a
supplemental/extension application depending on their grant
project period** and/or preference with the length of the
grant project/budget period.
All grant applications must be submitted electronically
through grants.gov.
**Note that PPGs are also subject to the 5-year limitation on
the grant project period.

SPM data must also be certified if it is from a FRM, FEM, or
ARM monitor and meets the QA requirements of 40 CFR 58
Appendix A. Unless the Regional Administrator has approved
alternative QA requirements, an SPM using an FRM or FEM

column is used to help identify the reporting requirement's corresponding commitment within
the Air Planning Agreement. For example, the first reporting requirement on Table 1 has an Air
Planning Agreement Reference of CCI. This reference is to the Cross Cutting Issues section of
the Air Planning Agreement. It is important to note that not all reporting requirements have an
Air Planning Agreement Reference. Below is a glossary of possible reference codes.

SIP Revision Submittal Format
States must submit all final revisions to the State/Local Implementation Plan (including
request for parallel processing) to the Regional Administrator identifying the purpose of the
change, the intent of the change, and include a statement that the revision is being submitted
under section 110 of the Clean Air Act. The submittal should say that it is in response to some
requirement of title I of the Clean Air Act or if it is an action that the State/Local is taking in an
effort to attain and/or maintain the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The following is an
example of the format in which draft, prehearing and final adopted revisions must be submitted.
This format provides a method of indicating what additions are being made to a regulation
(underline) and which portion of the regulation is being removed (strikeout). The State makes an
official plan submission to EPA only when the submission conforms to the requirements of
appendix V of 40 CFR part 51 and the State delivers the submission to EPA through one of the
three following methods: An electronic submission through EPA's eSJP SPeCs submission
system (finals and request for parallel processing submissions only); one paper submission to
the appropriate Regional Office with an exact duplicate electronic version, preferably in a word
searchable format; or three paper submissions.
A. Standards for Approving an Application for a Permit to Construct and a Permit to Operate a
New Facility.
1.	A new facility shall be designed and constructed so as to operate without causing
violation of any applicable Rules and Regulations.
2.	A new facility shall be designed and constructed so as to operate without interfering
with the attainment and maintenance of State and National Ambient Air Quality
Standards.
3.	The construction of a new facility shall be performed in such a manner so as to
reduce both point source and fugitive dust emissions from construction activities to
a minimum.
4.	Upon certification of construction in accordance with Section VI. hereof, the permit
to operate issued hereunder shall be effective.
(a) The permit to operate may, at the discretion of the Permit Board, contain
requirements that the permittee establish by emissions data, test results, or reports
that the facility can achieve and maintain the emission standards set forth in the
Permit to Construct and, through the operation of said facility, will not interfere with
the attainment and maintenance of State and National Ambient Air Quality
Standards then in effect.
(b) Failure to establish that the facility can achieve and maintain the emission
standards set forth in the Permit to Construct subjects the permittee to potential.
