APPENDIX D
Permit and Permitted Emission Data

The data that the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has provided to the committee in Table D-1 are preliminary, unpublished, not subjected to review, and not distributed outside EPA. These data are based on information collected internally by EPA from its regional offices, which was obtained from state and local permitting authorities. The data were summarized by EPA for the committee in terms of the New Source Review (NSR) permitted emissions (in tons) by the two-digit Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) code and by the number of permits. Permits were categorized as “greenfield,” new at existing sources, and modifications. The main focus here is on modifications. These data do not include information on facilities that made modifications but did not obtain permits via the NSR programs. Although the information presented in the table is sorted by pollutant, it is possible for a modification to involve more than one pollutant.

aGreenfield refers to a site where a new facility is built and no facility had existed previously.

bNumbers do not sum to total because some permits had both modifications and new units.

The Clean Air Act established a pair of programs—known as New Source Review (NSR)—that regulate large stationary sources of air pollution, such as factories and electricity-generating facilities. Congress then asked the National Research Council to estimate the effects of NSR rule changes made in 2002 and 2003 in terms of the effects on emissions and human health, and changes in operating efficiency (including energy efficiency), pollution prevention, and pollution-control activities. New Source Review for Stationary Sources of Air Pollution provides insights into the potential effects of the rule changes on national emissions from the electric power industry. Although this book focuses on the 2002 and 2003 rules, its analytic framework applies to other possible changes in NSR and to other regulatory contexts. Helpful, in that it outlines the data-collection efforts needed to assess the impact of the NSR rules, the book recommends EPA and other government agencies undertake and sustain the recommended methods.
