... NSR programs allow construction or modification of an emission source only if the operator first shows that emissions will be reduced as much as practicable.1 In addition, construction or modification cannot result in significant deterioration of air quality in areas that meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) 2 or interfere with progress toward attainment in areas where air quality violates NAAQS.

... The fundamental issue raised by the 2002 and 2003 rules -- the question of which alterations at existing major sources ought to be subject to NSR -- remains important. As is detailed in Chapter 7, existing major sources emit a large portion of the total air-pollution burden in some areas.

... However, the reader is referred to the interim report itself in some cases. Effective decisions to manage air quality are made by elected and appointed leaders in the context of diverse social, economic, and political considerations.

... In carrying out its charge, the committee considered relevant scientific and technical documents prepared by EPA, other federal agencies, states, industry, and environmental and other nongovernment organizations. The committee sought to gather information on how the revised NSR rules may affect emissions, air quality, public health, and industry actions concerning pollution control, pollution prevention, and operating efficiency.

... Chapter 6 assesses the potential efficiency, technology, and emission implications of the NSR changes on electricity-generating facilities. Chapter 7 examines contributions that emission sources subject to NSR may make to ambient air quality and relationships between specific air pollutants and health effects.
