| Abstract |
This rule essentially provides regulatory relief and does not include direct regulatory provisions for any industrial entities. The U.S. Supreme Court has limited the EPA greenhouse gas (GHG) regulatory authority for air permitting purposes to “anyway sources"; a facility or emission source that is otherwise subject to Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting based on its emissions of one or more non-GHG, regulated New Source Review (NSR) air pollutants. EPA is proposing a significant emissions rate (SER) for GHGs under the PSD program that would establish a de minimis threshold level below which Best Available Control Technology (BACT) is not required for an "anyway source" GHG emissions increase. If not for provisions that remain in EPA definition of “subject to regulation at this time provisions which we are proposing to remove as part of this proposal consistent with the definition of “significant under the PSD regulations, and in the absence of this proposed rulemaking, any GHG emissions increase would require a newly constructed "anyway" source, or a major modification at an existing "anyway" source, to undergo PSD GHG BACT review. The resource requirements for GHG permitting would therefore consist of the additional, incremental BACT review for GHG emissions increases above the GHG SER (Significant Emissions Rate) at "anyway" PSD projects, and the resulting permit requirements from this BACT review that would need to be added to the facilities PSD and title V permits associated with those anyway projects. The proposed rule would remove the requirement of conducting GHG BACT analyses for sources with GHG emissions increases less than the proposed GHG SER. The EPA estimated the savings resulting from avoided PSD and title V permitting costs for sources and permitting authorities as a result of this proposed rulemaking. This analysis focuses on the savings related to "anyway" sources whose GHG emission increases will fall below 30,000 tons per year (tpy), 45,000 tpy and the proposed 75,000 tpy carbon dioxide equivalent (CO2e) GHG SER levels. |
