Abstract
The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 require that the USEPA consider specific criteria in determining priorities for setting NSPS for major source categories: quantity of air pollutant emissions, extent to which air pollutant emissions endanger public health and welfare and the mobility and competitive nature of each source category. A previous report (EPA-450/3-78-019) describes a methodology that has been developed for prioritizing source categories using the Clean Air Act criteria. The methodology, which employs three distinct computer programs, was applied to a data set of over 150 major source categories for nine different air pollutant emissions (particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, lead, sulfuric acid mist, hydrogen sulfide, and fluorides). The program output is a prioritized list of source categories for NSPS promulgation over a ten year period based on a multipollutant source category emission analysis, and was used to propose standard-setting priorities. This report incorporates input data revisions resulting from comments on the proposed list and is used to determine a revised NSPS priority list.

The Clean Air Act Amendments of 1977 require that the USEPA consider specific criteria in determing priorities for setting NSPS for major source categories: quantity of air pollutant emissions, extent to which air pollutant emissions endanger public health and welfare and the mobility and competitive nature of each source category.
