EPA is holding a series of virtual trainings to educate Tribal, small business, and industry professionals about the New Source Review (NSR) preconstruction air permitting program, with a focus on the air permitting requirements that apply to minor sources of air pollution in Indian Country. The NSR preconstruction permitting program establishes the air permitting requirements that facility owners and operators must follow before constructing a new facility or modifying an existing facility.

On July 1, 2011, EPA finalized the rule, “Review of New Sources and Modifications in Indian Country,” to fully implement the air permitting requirements. The following one-hour virtual trainings will be recorded and presented in five modules. Participants will have the opportunity to ask questions at the end of each module. Note that questions will not be recorded. 

If you have any questions about the trainings, please contact Ben Garwood at garwood.ben@epa.gov (919-541-1358) or Jessica Montanez at montanez.jessica@epa.gov (919-541-3407).
