PSD: new regulations and old problems

The Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) program is the Clean Air Act of 1977 effort to protect air that is cleaner than the national standards. New PSD regulations were enacted by EPA in 1980. These new regulations, however, do not address or resolve many of the basic conflicts that arose under the original program. Problems encountered in implementing these regulations are identified, including their complexity, efficient allocation of permits, superfluous review, and insufficient data collection. Alternative approaches, such as the establishment of a set of technology-based standards, are recommended.
