Title: Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR): Baseline Emissions Determination, Actual-to-Future-Actual Methodology, Plantwide Applicability | |
Abstract: This action is to revise the CAA new source review (NSR) regulations, which govern the preconstruction air quality review and permitting programs that are implemented by States and the Federal Government for new and modified major stationary sources of air pollution. These revisions include changes in NSR applicability requirements for modifications (and provisions to allow States to make similar changes in their major NSR programs) to allow sources more flexibility to respond to rapidly changing markets and to plan for future investments in pollution control and prevention technologies. These changes reflect EPA's consideration of discussions and recommendations of the Clean Air Act Advisory Committee's (CAAAC) Subcommittee on NSR, Permits and Toxics, comments filed by the public, and meetings and discussions with interested stakeholders. The changes are intended to provide greater regulatory certainty, administrative flexibility, and permit streamlining, while ensuring the current level of environmental protection and benefit derived from the program. Regulations that will be affected are State implementation plan requirements for review of new sources and modifications to existing sources (40 CFR 51.160-166), the Federal prevention of significant deterioration program (40 CFR 52.21), and Federal restriction on new source construction (40 CFR 52.24). | |
