Under Current Clean Air Act Power Plants Would Face a Complex Set of Requirements

Information provided for informational purposes only Unless otherwise noted, the data presented throughout this Web site reflect EPA’s 2003 modeling and analysis of the Clear Skies Act of 2003.

EPA is required to update the new source performance standards (NSPS) for boilers and turbines every 8 years. 2. The SIP-submittal and attainment dates are keyed off the date of designation; for example, if PM or ozone are designated in 2004, the first attainment date is 2009. 1. Further action on ozone would be considered based on the 2007 assessment.

EPA’s rulemakings will be conducted through the usual notice-and-comment process, and the conclusions may vary from these assumptions.
