A discussion is presented of the revised regulations concerning the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) of air quality. Provisions of the Clean Air Act which deal with PSD are outlined. The substantive and procedural content of the revised PSD regulations are considered in light of the Alabama Power decision. The revised PSD plan can be divided into two categories: (1) the determination of which emissions are subject to and which are exempt from the PSD program; and (2) the determination of the amounts of air deterioration allowable in clean air areas. The overall effects of the revised regulations are evaluated in regard to impacts on air quality and industrial sources of pollution. The future of PSD is considered. (RJC)
