This section defines four terms used in this subchapter's permit program. It explains 'affected source,' 'major source,' 'schedule of compliance,' and 'permitting authority.' These definitions set the scope of who needs a permit and who enforces it.
(1) Affected source: "Affected source" has the same meaning it has in subchapter IV–A.
(2) Major source: "Major source" means a stationary source*, or group of stationary sources in one contiguous area under common control, that is either (A) a "major source" as section 7412 defines it, or (B) a "major stationary source*" as section 7602 or Part D of subchapter I defines it.
(3) Schedule of compliance: "Schedule of compliance" means a schedule of corrective steps — including an enforceable sequence of actions — that leads a source into compliance with an applicable implementation plan*, emission standard*, emission limit, or emission ban.
(4) Permitting authority: "Permitting authority" means EPA, or the air pollution control agency* that EPA has authorized to run a permit program under this subchapter.
