Public Comment Opportunity
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) invites your writ
ten comments on Proposed Air Quality Rules for Idaho, Oregon and
Washington Indian Reservations.
These basic rules, developed under the Clean Air Act (CAA), would
establish enforceable air pollution regulations on Indian reservations
in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington where there are currently no EPA
approved Tribal or State Implementation Plans.
They would provide air quality protection for the public within res
ervation boundaries by controlling emissions from sources located
within reservations in a manner similar to how sources located out
side the reservations are regulated.
The rules include a program for identifying air pollution sources,
procedures to follow during air pollution emergencies, rules for open
burning, and some emission limitations for industrial sources.
Copies of the proposed rules are available by calling 206-553-0977,
or on the web at: www.epa.govrlOearthtribalairrules.htm.
Written comments must be received no later than June 13, 2002.
Please send your comments to:

Office of Air Quality (OAQ-107)
U.S. EPA Region 10,
1200 Sixth Avenue
