Air Delegated Agency Air Program Submission Changes

1)Changes to Programs with Subparts (CR Air-2260)

ICIS-Air currently allows subparts to be associated to the Federal Implementation Plan for National Primary and Secondary Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAAFIP) program and the State Implementation Plan for National Primary and Secondary Ambient Air Quality Standards (CAASIP) program in the AirProgramsSubmission in the AirProgramSubpartCode tag. These programs should not have subparts, and the system is being updated to remove the ability to add subparts for these programs.

In addition, ICIS-Air is being updated to allow subparts to be associated with the following programs:40 CFR Part 63 Area Sources (CAAGACTM), New Source Performance Standards (Non-Major) (CAANSPSM)and is inactivating some existing CAAMACT subparts.

Impact: Negative impact only if you are currently submitting subparts for CAAFIP and CAASIPor one of the no longer valid CAAMACT subpart codes.

Action to Take: Check to make sure the mapping of your data uses the correct program/subpart code combinations from the updated tables.
