Summary: The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) supports the EPA's efforts to streamline air permitting efficiencies but requests specific revisions to the "begin actual construction" definition. They advocate for requiring complete permit applications before on-site construction begins and suggest focusing on the concept of a stationary source rather than an exhaustive list of excluded activities.
The Wyoming Department of Environmental Quality (WDEQ) appreciates the opportunity to comment on the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) proposed revisions to the Federal New Source Review (NSR) air permitting regulations (91 Federal Register 26958; Docket ID NO. EPA-HQ-OAR-2025-0618). WDEQ's comments on the proposed rule, in their entirety, are included in the attached PDF document.
