New Source Review Program
National NSR Program
Congress established the New Source Review (NSR) permitting program as part of the 1977 Clean Air Act Amendments. NSR is a preconstruction permitting program that serves two important purposes.
- First, it ensures that air quality is not significantly degraded from the addition of new and modified factories, industrial boilers and power plants. In areas with unhealthy air, NSR assures that new emissions do not slow progress toward cleaner air. In areas with clean air, especially pristine areas like national parks, NSR assures that new emissions do not significantly worsen air quality.
- Second, the NSR program assures people that any large new or modified industrial source in their neighborhoods will be as clean as possible, and that advances in pollution control occur concurrently with industrial expansion.
NSR permits are legal documents that the facility owners/operators must abide by. The permit specifies what construction is allowed, what emission limits must be met, and often how the emissions source must be operated.

State & Local Permitting Programs |
NSR Policy and Guidance Database EPA has issued a number of policy and guidance documents that interpret the Part D nonattainment and Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) construction permit regulations. Region 7 has developed a searchable database which contains over 580 EPA-issued policy and guidance documents. You may access the database directly via an on-line search or by downloading to your personal PC or corporate network. You can also view an index sorted by date or document title for a quick link to each document in the database. |

Past and Present Major Source NSR Permitting Activity in Region 7 The Region 7 states and EPA regional office have issued a significant number of PSD and Part D permits since 1978. To help understand the historical perspective of each project, we maintain information on key administrative milestones, emissions estimates, emission limitations, and a brief description of the control technology decisions for each permit. These spreadsheets are updated periodically as new applications and final permits arrive. |

Current Major Source Permitting Projects in Region 7 Region 7 reviews all major source PSD or Part D nonattainment permitting actions taken in the four state area.
We often comment on draft permits and provide technical support when requested by the permitting agency.
This interaction helps to assure that permits provide for best available control technology, demonstrate no
adverse air quality impacts, are enforceable as a practical matter, and otherwise meet statutory and regulatory
requirements. For more information on active permit projects in 2008, click on the documents of interest. Iowa
