SIP Regulations

VERMONT REGULATIONS CONTAINED IN THE VT STATE IMPLEMENTATION PLAN (SIP)

Adopted by State of Vermont & Approved by EPA

What are SIP regulations?

State regulations dealing with air quality and air pollution control requirements which have been adopted by the State of Vermont under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) are contained in a document entitled "Air Pollution Control Regulations."  Not all of these regulations are incorporated in the Vermont SIP Only those selected state regulations which have been subject of public hearing specifically for inclusion in the federally enforceable SIP are included therein. Regulations proposed and adopted through the Vermont APA process and intended for inclusion in the SIP are usually noticed for hearing as SIP regulations at the same time the notice and public hearing are conducted for adoption under Vermont law.

All Vermont Air Pollution Control Regulations are enforceable under Vermont laws but only those incorporated in the federally enforceable SIP are enforceable under federal laws. The particular regulations which are included in the SIP for Vermont may be identified from a table published in the federal register and updated annually. This table may be accessed at SIPregs.
