Summary

Because of the increasingly important role of New Source Performance Standards in the national air quality program and the large number of categories for which standards are being developed, a clearly defined procedure for selecting category priorities and establishing schedules for standard promulgation is a necessity. This report describes a methodology that has been developed for selecting priorities and schedules based on projected reductions in emissions resulting from the individual standards and other considerations related to technological, legal, institutional, and conservation factors. The methodology is used with available data to develop an initial standard-setting program. The program variations that result from alternate areas of emphasis are also presented. The expected future developments in emission control technology and various aspects of the process for developing standards are reviewed in terms of how they may affect the long-term New Source Performance Standards program.
