Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5139005

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 (PL 95-95, 91 Stat. 731) established a national program to prevent significant deterioration of air quality (PSD) where the air is relatively clean. The amendments also mandated two independent studies of the PSD provisions of the Act, one to be performed by the National Commission on Air Quality and one by the National Academy of Sciences. This report contains the findings, conclusions, and recommendations of the Academy's study.
