The Tribal Authority Rule,
or TAR, identifies those provisions of the Clean Air Act for which
it is appropriate to treat tribes in the same manner as states. The
TAR lays out the eligibility requirements to apply for any one of
a number of Clean Air Act programs. In addition, the TAR describes
the kinds of financial assistance available to tribes interested in
pursuing an air quality program. The TAR is the key to tribal implementation
of the Clean Air Act.
