receipt.
(G) Any person entitled to notice under paragraph (6)
of this subsection may, within 15 days of the receipt of such notice,
file with the executive director an appeal of the final determination
on the AMOC plan. Such appeal may be considered at the next regularly
scheduled meeting of the Commission for which adequate notice may
be made. Based on arguments submitted to the commission during such
appeal, the Commission may remand the AMOC determination to the executive
director, deny the AMOC plan, or issue the AMOC plan unchanged.
(H) Within 45 days of final approval of the AMOC plan
by the executive director or the Commission for an appeal, the EPA
may notify the commission of the EPA's disapproval of the executive
director's final decision. Such notification must be in writing and
must include a statement of the reason(s) for the disapproval and
a specific listing of changes to the AMOC plan needed to overcome
the disapproval. Any time prior to the expiration of the 45-day period,
the EPA may notify the executive director that no disapproval is forthcoming.
Upon receipt of a timely EPA disapproval, the executive director shall
void or revise the AMOC plan and reissue the notice as required by
paragraph (6) of this subsection.
(I) If no appeal of the executive director's decision
to approve the AMOC plan is filed pursuant to paragraph (8) of this
subsection, the AMOC plan becomes effective upon the acceptance of
the plan by the EPA as described in subparagraph (K) of this paragraph.
(J) If an appeal of the executive director's decision
is filed, the AMOC plan becomes effective upon the latter of the acceptance
of the AMOC plan by the Commission or the acceptance of the AMOC plan
by the EPA.
(K) EPA acceptance is defined as explicit approval
of the AMOC plan by the EPA, notification by the EPA to the executive
director that no EPA disapproval is forthcoming, or failure of the
EPA to file notice of disapproval within 45 days after the executive
director's final decision to approve the AMOC plan.
(6) Public Notice Format.
(A) Public notice must be published in the public notice
section of two successive issues of a newspaper of general circulation

proposed AMOC plan, related documentation, and the executive director's
preliminary analysis of the plan (including the Austin and appropriate
regional offices, any local pollution control program with jurisdiction
over the site affected by the AMOC plan, and the EPA regional office);
(viii) an announcement of the opportunity to submit
written comments on the AMOC plan;
(ix) the length of the public comment period, which
extends to at least 30 days after the final publication of the notice;

regional office to be contacted for further information.
(C) The executive director may not take final action
on the AMOC plan until the owner or operator who submitted the AMOC
plan has provided proof of adequate notice to the executive director,
the EPA, and any local pollution control program with jurisdiction.
(7) Review of Approved AMOC Plans and Termination of
AMOC Plans.
(A) For the purposes of this subsection, compliance
date means the date by which a source must comply with new or modified
sections of this subchapter.
(B) Unless revised to reflect new regulatory requirements,
an AMOC plan becomes void on the compliance date specified for a new
or modified section of this subchapter affecting a source subject
to an AMOC plan.
(C) The holder of an AMOC plan shall comply with the
requirements of this subchapter if the AMOC plan becomes void.
(D) Upon final approval of an AMOC plan, the owner
or operator of the sources affected by the plan shall keep a copy
of the plan on the site affected by the plan and shall make the plan
available upon request to representatives of the executive director,
the EPA, or any local air pollution control agency having jurisdiction
in the area.
(E) Upon request, each holder of an AMOC plan shall
submit to the executive director a demonstration that the plan continues
to meet all applicable criteria of this subsection.
