Commissioner's Orders
A Commissioner's Order is a permanent enforceable order specifically authorized by an air rule as an alternative to a rule requirement. Once issued, a Commissioner's Order becomes a condition in an air permit. In most cases, a Commissioner's Order will be submitted to U.S. EPA for approval as an amendment to Indiana's state implementation plan for the Clean Air Act.
