Section 116 of the Clean Air Act, as amended, requires the EPA to promulgate regulations for the prevention of significant deterioration (PSD) of air quality regarding hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides, and lead (Set II pollutants). This program will affect industry siting, particularly in rural, undeveloped areas. Among the alternatives currently being considered by EPA to meet the PSD Set II goals are emission management systems, marketable emission permits, air quality increments, emission fees, and control of transportation related sources. The final regulation may be a combination of several options or may present several alternatives from which a state would choose its specific program. EPA has formed an interagency work group to insure that the PSD Set II regulation is consistent with other agencies' policies as well as existing EPA programs. Public participation will be encouraged throughout this regulatory development.
