(iii) Authority to require installation of monitoring devices is inadequate (§ 51.11(a) (6) of this chapter).

(iv) Authority to make emissions data available to the public is inadequate since 45.05130 of the Fairbanks North Star Borough ordinance could require it to be confidential (§ 51.11(a) (6) of this chapter).

(v) Authority to abate emergency air pollution episodes is inadequate because 45.05.100 of the Fairbanks North Star Borough ordinance is limited to generalized conditions of air pollution and because the order of the Commission is subject to review de novo (§ 51.11(a) (3) of this chapter).

(vi) Authority for necessary transportation control is not set forth nor is a timetable for obtaining it included (§ 51.11(b) of this chapter).

(b) The requirements of § 51.11(a) (4) of this chapter are not met since statutory authority to prevent construction, modification, or operation of a facility, building, structure, or installation, or combination thereof, which indirectly results or may result in emissions of any air pollutant at any location which will prevent the maintenance of a national air quality standard is not adequate.
