If a permit is proposed to be issued for any major stationary source or major modification proposed for construction in any state that the governor of an affected state or Indian governing body of an affected tribe determines will cause or contribute to a cumulative change in air quality in excess of that allowed in this part within the affected state or Indian reservation, the governor or Indian governing body may request the administrator to enter into negotiations with the persons involved to resolve such dispute. If requested by any state or Indian governing body involved, the administrator shall make a recommendation to resolve the dispute and protect the air quality related values of the lands involved. If the persons involved do not reach agreement, the administrator shall resolve the dispute. The administrator's determination, or the results of agreements reached through other means, shall become part of the applicable implementation plan and shall be enforceable as part of such plan.
