"(ii) In any case where the Federal Land Manager demonstrates to the satisfaction of the State that the emissions from such facility will have an adverse impact on the air quality-related values (including visibility) of such lands, notwithstanding the fact that the change in air quality resulting from emissions from such facility will not cause or contrbute to concentrations which exceed the maximum allowable increases for a class I area, a permit shall not be issued. "(iii) In any case where the owner or operator of such facility demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Federal Land Manager, and the Federal Land Manager so certifies, that the emissions from such facility will have no adverse impact on the air quality related values of such lands (including visibility), notwithstanding the fact that the change in air quality resulting from emissions from such facility will cause or contribute to concentrations, which exceed the maximum allowable increases for class I areas, the State may issue a permit. "(iv) In the case of a permit issued pursuant to clause (iii), such facility shall comply with such emission limitations under such permit as may be necessary to assure that emissions of sulfur oxides and particulates from such sources together with all other sources, will not exceed the following maximum allowable increases over the baseline concentration for such pollutants: ,,_. ^., ^ ^^ "Particulate m a t t e r: Annual geometric mean Twenty-four-hour maximum Sulfur dioxide: Annual arithmetic mean Twenty-four-hour maximum Three-hour maximum

Maximum allowable increase (in mlcroRrams per cubic meter) 19 37 20 91 325

" (D)(i) In any case where the owner or operator of a proposed major emitting facility who has been denied a certification under subparagraph (C) (iii) demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Governor, after notice and public hearing, and the Governor finds, that the facility cannot be constructed by reason of any maximum allowable increase for sulfur dioxide for periods of twenty-four hours or less applicable to any class I area and, in the case of Federal mandatory class I areas, that a variance under this clause will not adversely affect the air quality related values of the area (including visibility), the Governor, after consideration of the Federal Land Manager's recommendation (if any) and subject to his concurrence, may grant a variance from such maximum allowable increase. If such variance is granted, a permit may be issued to such source pursuant to the requirements of this subparagraph. "(ii) In any case in which the Governor recommends a variance under this subparagraph in which the Federal Land Manager does not concur, the recommendations of the Governor and the Federal Land Manager shall be transmitted to the President.
