... EPA and other supporters of the changes say these will provide greater flexibility to industry, increase the energy efficiency of industrial facilities, 1The NAAQS specify the maximum allowable concentrations of criteria pollutants in ambient air that are protective of public health and welfare. The six criteria pollutants are carbon monoxide, lead, nitrogen dioxide, ozone, particulate matter, and sulfur dioxide.

... The NRC was asked to assess changes in emissions of pollutants regulated under the NSR programs; impacts on human health; and changes in energy efficiency, pollution prevention, and pollution control at facilities subject to NSR. In response to the request, NRC established the Committee on Changes in New Source Review Programs for Stationary Sources of Air Pollutants (see Appendix A)

... The committee expects to provide its perspectives on several of those documents in the final report. The committee will also gather information on how the revised NSR rules may affect emissions, air quality, public health, and industry actions concerning pollution control, pollution prevention, and energy efficiency.

... It also describes and discusses the NSR rule changes that are the subject of the committee's evaluation. Chapter 3 examines contributions that emission sources subject to NSR may make to ambient air quality and relationships between specific air pollutants and health effects.
