Not later than ninety days after submission by the State to the Administrator of notice of the issuance of a primary nonferrous smelter order under this section, the Administrator shall determine whether or not such order has been issued by the State in accordance with the requirements of this Act. If the Administrator determines that such order has not been issued in accordance with such requirements, he shall conduct a hearing respecting the reasonably available control technology for primary nonferrous smelters. " (2)(A) An order issued under this section to a primary nonferrous smelter shall be referred to as a 'primary nonferrous smelter order'.

Such statement (including such documents and information) shall be made available to the public for a thirty-day period before such hearing and shall be considered as part of such hearing.

"(C) Any decision with respect to the issuance of a primary nonferrous smelter order shall be accompanied by a concise statement of the findings and of the basis of such findings. " (b) A primary nonferrous smelter order under this section may be issued to a primary nonferrous smelter if— "(1) such smelter is in existence on the date of the enactment of this section; "(2) the requirement of the applicable implementation plan with respect to which the order is issued is an emission limitation
