Description of Petition:

Petition 2001-05 (LCB R040-01) permanently amends NAC 445B.001 to 445B.395, the state air pollution control permitting program. The permanent regulation amends NAC 445B by creating and defining a new classification of operating permits. The new Class III permit will provide eligible sources (those emitting 5 tons or less of specific pollutants) a streamlined permitting process, which includes accelerated permit review and issuance and lower permitting fees. This regulation will provide regulatory relief for small quantity sources. NAC 445B.320, dealing with operating permit changes is amended to include additional language to require a detailed description of how increases and decreases will comply with the permit.
