Tribal NSR Virtual Training Series

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) held a series of virtual trainings to educate tribal, small business, and industry professionals about the New Source Review (NSR) preconstruction air permitting program as it applies in Indian Country after more than 10 years of implementation of this program.

The virtual trainings were recorded and presented in five modules according to the following schedule:
