State NSR Program Roundup #2: July 1 through September 30, 2017

Posted by Eric L. Hiser, January 28, 2018

The state NSR program update reviews EPA actions in approving, conditionally approving, or disapproving state implementation plan programs under any of the three NSR programs: minor NSR, PSD and/or NNSR. This edition reviews plan actions from July 1, 2017 through September 30, 2017. We start with NSR program approvals, then list nonattainment area plan approvals (which is when the area specific NSR program becomes effective) and end with infrastructure SIP approvals. In the Commentary at the end, we discuss any trends observable in EPA’s state program actions.
