SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:

Notice of Final Action

On March 20, 2026, the EPA made a final decision to issue a permit, Permit No. C-2026-2, to the Jamul Indian Village Development Corporation, an instrumentality of the Jamul Indian Village, authorizing the construction and operation of the Jamul Casino Resort (“Source”), pursuant to the provisions of Clean Air Act sections 110(a) and 301(d) and the EPA's Tribal Minor NSR Program at 40 CFR 49.151 through49.164. The EPA based its decision on its determination that the Source met all applicable federal requirements and submitted all required content in the permit application under the EPA's Tribal Minor NSR Program. Notice of the final decision was provided on March 23, 2026, pursuant to 40 CFR 49.159(a).

In accordance with 40 CFR 49.159(d)(1), permit decisions may be appealed under the permit appeal procedures of 40 CFR 124.19. In accordance with 40 CFR 124.19, within 30 days after service of notice of the final permit decision, any person who filed comments on the draft permit or participated in a public hearing on the draft permit may file a petition to the EPA's Environmental Appeal Board (EAB) for review. Additionally, any person who failed to file comments or failed to participate in the public hearing on the draft permit may petition the EAB for administrative review of any permit conditions set forth in the final permit decision, but only to the extent that those final permit conditions reflect changes from the proposed draft permit. The EPA did not receive any comments on the draft permit or hold, or receive a request for, a public hearing on the draft permit. In the EPA's permit issued in its final permit decision, the EPA did not change the final permit conditions from those of the proposed draft permit. Because the EPA received no comments on the permit, pursuant to 40 CFR 49.159(a), this permit became effective immediately, on March 20, 2026.

Dated: May 6, 2026.
