(1) For the purposes of this section, in 40 C.F.R. § 52.166(q) the phrase "reviewing authority" means the secretary;

(2) For the purposes of this section, in 40 C.F.R. § 51.166(q)(1) the phrase "specified time period" means 60 days;

(3) For the purposes of this section, in 40 C.F.R. § 51.166(q)(2)(iv), the term "administrator" means the administrator of EPA;

(4) For the purposes of this section, in 40 C.F.R. § 51.166(q)(2)(iii), the phrase "Notify the public" shall consist of a public notice once in a legal newspaper in the county where the proposed source would be constructed. The public notice shall include a statement that a person may submit comments or contest the draft permit within 30 days after the publication of the notice. The statement shall also describe the procedures a person must follow to contest the draft permit and request a hearing in accordance with article 74:09;

(5) For the purposes of this section, in 40 C.F.R. § 51.166(q)(2)(v), a public hearing is required if a person contests the draft permit or contests the secretary's final determination and requests a hearing in accordance with article 74:09; and

(6) For the purposes of this section, in 40 C.F.R. § 51.166(q)(2) (viii), if a request for a contested case hearing is not submitted during the public notice period, the secretary shall make a final determination within 30 days of the end of the public comment period on the draft permit. The secretary shall notify, in writing, the applicant and each person that submitted written comments or requested notice of the final determination. The notice shall include reference to the procedures for contesting the final determination and requesting a hearing in accordance with article 74:09 within 30 days of receiving the secretary's final determination. If no person comments on a draft permit, requests changes, or contests the draft permit during the public notice period, the draft permit automatically becomes the secretary's final determination and is issued at the end of the public notice period.
