| Title: Prevention of Significant Deterioration, Non-Attainment New Source Review, and New Source Performance Standards: Emissions Test for Electric Generating Units | |
| Abstract: This rulemaking would create a revised emissions test for existing electric generating units (EGUs) that are subject to the regulations governing the Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and nonattainment major New Source Review (NSR) programs mandated by parts C and D of title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA). This revised emissions test would be available for EGUs that are also subject to the EPA-administered Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) NOx Annual Trading Program or the CAIR SO2 Trading Program. This emissions test could be extended to other CAIR and non-CAIR EGUs. For existing major stationary sources, the NSR base program emissions test is applied when the source proposes to modify an emissions unit such that the change is a physical change or change in the method of operation, and the test compares actual emissions to either potential emissions or projected actual emissions. Under this rulemaking's revised NSR emissions test (a maximum hourly test like that used in the NSPS program), we would compare the EGU's maximum hourly emissions (considering controls) before the change for the past 5 years to the maximum hourly emissions after the change. The maximum hourly emissions will be either a maximum achieved and maximum achievable hourly emissions, measured on an input or an output basis. The supplemental notice will include proposed regulatory language for the maximum achieved and achievable options (input and output basis for each). The supplemental notice will also include data, information, and analyses concerning the impacts of the proposed options. The supplemental notice will also include an option in which the current regulations (annual emissions test) are retained, but the baseline period is extended from 5 to 10 years. | |
