The National Acid Deposition Control Act of 1984, H.R. 5970, amends the Clean Air Act by introducing more effective regulation of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide transport. The Bill acknowledges that fossil fuel combustion is a principal contributor to atmospheric loading of these chemicals, which represent a threat to public health. It specifies a control program requiring power plants and other sources to meet lower emission standards by 1993 that will be funded 90% by a fee on electric power generation. The bill outlines compliance schedules, payment procedures for capital costs of constructing and installing new pollution control technology, the calculation of state emission shares and financial assistance for state plans, and the establishment of an Acid Deposition Control Fund in the US Treasury. Fees to be applied to this fund will be based on kilowatthours generated within and imported into the contiguous 48 states. Title II revises the New Source Performance Standard for nitrogen oxide emissions, and deals specifically with emissions from mobile sources. (DCK)
