Tribal Implementation Plan

EPA approves those tribal regulations that have been formally submitted as Tribal Implementation Plan (TIP) revisions and which the Agency determines meet the requirements of the Clean Air Act. St. Regis Mohawk is the only tribe, out of 8 tribes, that has a federally approved TIP.

Tribal Regulations

In addition to the federally approved TIP regulations the tribes may have rules pertaining to air pollution concerns that are typically not regulated by the federal government and consequently are not and will not be included in the federally approved TIP. Examples of this include odor and nuisance rules.
