New Source Review (NSR) is one of the most contentious Clean Air Act programs and permitting changes are one of the pillars for the new administration. These changes that affected or will affect program elements and court challenges. In addition, there are efforts at State level to address program implementation. NSR permitting (which includes nonattainment major NSR permitting, Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) permitting, and minor NSR permitting) continues to be affected by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) policy and court decisions regarding implementation of the programs, and other issues. EPA, under the new administration, will be proposing changes to several elements of major NSR regulations, EPA is also looking at streamlining Title V program elements. A panel of experts will discuss key developments in NSR, point out ways that facility operations could be affected by these developments, indicate what lay ahead, and identify issues that remain unsettled.
