Description:

Fifteen years after the last major effort to reform the New Source Review (NSR) program, the Trump administration is undertaking a major initiative aimed at regulatory reform. Not surprisingly, NSR is at the forefront as it remains as one of the most controversial regulatory program enforced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). These rules historically have had substantial adverse impacts on the refining and petrochemical sector, in part due to lack of rule clarity and inconsistent rule application across the country and have been identified by AFPM as one of the five stationary source regulations of most concern to American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) members1. This paper discusses regulatory changes that would be most beneficial to the refining and petrochemical sector and examines prospects to make such changes in the NSR program. The discussion is informed and enhanced by revisiting aspects of the 2002 NSR reform effort that ultimately were not successfully implemented and includes recommendations for a path forward.
