What the agency says
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is approving a Clean Air Act (CAA) operating permit program revision submitted by the State of Maine.

The revisions also include provisions allowing the public comment period on a draft permit to run concurrently with the EPA's review of a proposed permit. The intended effect of this action is to approve Maine's revisions. This action is being taken in accordance with the Clean Air Act.
