The air permitting programs are implemented under the cooperative federalism paradigm per the Clean Air Act. With the change in administration, significant changes are expected at EPA OAQPS pertaining to staffing and policy objectives. EPA is also likely to push more obligations to States and local agencies for air programs. A panel of experts will discuss key developments in cooperative federalism, and detail experiences and future changes that may affect the permitting agencies and the regulated community.
