Please find attached here the Edison Electric Institute's comments responsive to the proposed rule "Begin Actual Construction in the New Source Review (NSR) Preconstruction Permitting Program" (Docket ID No. EPA-HQ_OAR_2025-0618. EEI appreciates the opportunity to comment.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing revisions to the New Source Review preconstruction permitting program’s definition of “begin actual construction.” These proposed revisions would distinguish between construction of a stationary source and construction of non-emitting components or structures, while clarifying and codifying that the latter can occur before an owner or operator obtains an NSR air permit for a new major stationary source or major modification of an existing major stationary source. The revisions will update the definition of “begin actual construction” and add a definition of “pollutant-emitting activities” in the Federal NSR regulations for both Nonattainment New Source Review (NNSR) and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD); revise the definition of “begin construction” and “commence construction” in the Federal minor NSR regulations applicable in Indian country; and address the applicability procedures for “begin actual construction” in the NNSR regulations.
