Abstract: Section 112(j) of the Clean Air Act as amended in 1990 (CAAA) requires that if EPA fails to promulgate a standard for a category or subcategory of major sources within 18 months after its scheduled date of promulgation, then sources must submit a title V permit application beginning on that date. States (with approved Title V operating permit programs) or EPA will issue permits containing MACT emission limitations determined on a case-by-case basis to be equivalent to what would have been promulgated by EPA pursuant to Clean Air Act section 112(d). EPA has promulgated regulations implementing section 112(j). Four section 112(d) standards have been vacated by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. Because these standards have returned to the "status quo" prior to promulgation, the sources in these source categories must now apply for case-by-case MACT permits under section 112(j).
