to reflect all current emissions limits. This allows a facility to operate ai maximum capacity during peak periods of the business cycle, while still maintaining strict air quality controls. Do the NSR changes allow new sources to be built without installing pollution controls? Absolutely not. EPA's changes to the NSR program would not affect new sources at al1, and new sources account for a large majority of NSR permits issued every year. The EPA's rule would not change NSR requirements for new sources. What are the resulting impacts of this rule on human health? None. Emissions are not driven by NSR. Other provisions of the Clean Air Act are still available to protect human health and well-being - and further reductions are being made. What pollution control and prevention technologies will be installed at facilities covered by the NSR rules? Facilities covered by the rule may have to make emissions reductions due to other provisions of the Clean Air Act; these reductions are not related to NSR and will occur regardless of the outcome of the New Source Review rulemaking. In addition, both Duke and Progress Energy are making significant investments in their facilities as a result of the NC Clean Smokestacks Act; the rule changes will not impact the emissions reductions that will occur as a result of that law. Isn't the federal rule a roll back of Clean Air Act protections? No. The NSR rule changes do not change the Clean Air Act at all, and all the changes are fully authorized under, and are consistent with, the Act. The changes would remove regulatory barriers to pollution control and prevention projects; encourage modernization of plants and provide operating flexibility by establishing stringent pollution caps known as "Plantwide Applicability Limits" (PALs); create incentives for facilities to install state-of-the-art pollution controls by providing operational flexibility for facilities that install "clean units;" and calculate actual emissions increases and establish actual emissions baselines.
