Title: Reconsideration of the Prevention of Significant Deterioration and Nonattainment New Source Review (NSR) Project Aggregation | |
Abstract:
Under the New Source Review (NSR) preconstruction permitting program, stationary sources undergoing modifications need to determine whether their physical or operational changes are a "major modification" based on the emissions increase that would result from the changes. The term "project aggregation" within the NSR program refers to the grouping of related physical and/or operational changes at a facility into a single project, and combining the corresponding emission increases or decreases for purposes of determining NSR applicability. In January 2009, the EPA finalized an interpretation of existing NSR regulations that changes at a facility should be aggregated into a single project if they are "substantially related." The action also addressed how the timing of changes should be considered for aggregation purposes, and, as a statement of policy, it created a presumption against aggregating changes that occur three or more years apart. This 2009 action is currently stayed and under reconsideration by EPA. This current action finalizes the reconsideration of the 2009 action. |
