22 organizations filed 23 public comments on Removal of Title V Emergency Affirmative Defense Provisions from State Operating Permit Programs and Federal Operating Permit Program, at the Environmental Protection Agency. The comment window closed 1534d ago.

Abstract

This proposed rule would remove the “emergency" affirmative defense provisions from both sets of Title V operating permit program regulations, located at 40 CFR 70.6(g) (State Operating Permit Programs) and 40 CFR 71.6(g) (Federal Operating Permit Programs). These regulations currently authorize an affirmative defense to enforcement actions brought for noncompliance with technology-based emission limitations in title V permits for exceedances that are caused by an "emergency."
