Distinguishing between SIP/FIP/TIP Tribal Participation in the State Implementation Plan (SIP) Process Chris Lee, ITEP/TAMS
FIPs, SIPs, TIPsWhich is which??? • National Ambient Air Quality Standards • Clean Air Act and Amendments of 1990 explain how states, tribes, other local municipalities can develop plans to achieve the NAAQS through SIPs and TIPs • FIPs implemented where SIP/TIP is inadequate in achieving NAAQS or protecting public health and welfare
State Implementation Plans (SIP) • Under CAA, Sect. 110, states develop rules and plan to achieve NAAQS within 3 yrs of promulgation of a NAAQS • FIP to be developed at any time within 2 years of Administrator determining state lacks an adequate plan • No modular approach • TAR recognizes tribal jurisdiction over air pollution sources within exterior boundaries of the reservation • Therefore, SIPs do not apply to Indian Country!!
Tribal Implementation Plan (TIP) Examples • December 2007 Saint Regis Mohawk • Sept 2009 Mohegan Tribe • April 2011 Gila River Indian Community
Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) Examples • July 2000: Shoshone-Bannock – Ft. Hall PM10 Non-Attainment Area • June 2005: Tribes in ID, OR, & WA – FARR • April 2007: Navajo Nation – FCPP • Feb 2010: Navajo Nation – NGS • Aug 2012: Navajo Nation – FCPP BART • Pending: Navajo Nation NGS BART
