*NSR and RACT

MassDEP regulation, 310 CMR 7.00 Appendix A: Emissions Offsets and Nonattainment Review, contains the Massachusetts New Source Review (NSR) program for stationary sources

of NOx and VOCs. T he major source applicability thresholds of potential-to-emit (PTE) 50 tons per year of volatile organic compounds and PTE 50 tons per year of NOx that applied to serious 1-hour ozone nonattainment areas, also apply under the 8-hour ozone standard. 1 NSR offset ratio requirements will remain at 1.2 to 1 (rather than the 1.15 to 1 ratio required for moderate areas). The major source thresholds for RACT will not change . (RACT regulations are discussed in detail in Section 6.)

1 EPA’s Final Rule to Implement the 8-Hour Ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard - Phase I , 69 FR 23952, April 30, 2004, allowed areas to adopt the ma jor source thresholds that applied to their 8-hour standard classification, even though the thresholds might be less stringent than those that applied to the area under the applicable 1-hour ozone standard cla ssifications. In December 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit vacated EPA’s Phase 1 rule , holding that parts of the rule violated provisions of the CAA. The count concluded that the provision allowing an area to adopt less-stringent major source thresholds constituted illeg al “backsliding.” Even prior to this court decision, MassDEP decided to retain its 1-hour NOx RACT threshold of PTE 50 tons, rather than adopt the less-stringent PTE 100 ton

threshold that EPA’s rule would have allowed had it not been vacated. Deleted: MassDEP intends to maintain

Deleted: MassDEP will also maintain its existing2008 Ozone SIP ** Enhanced Inspection and Maintenanc e and On-Board Diagnostics Program

The Massachusetts Enhanced Emissions and Safe ty Test (I&M program) requires most model year 1984 – 1995 vehicles to be tested on a dynamometer, and model year 1996 and newer vehicles to be tested with on-board diagnostic (OBD) equipment. The 2008 RFP emissions estimate are based on the existing program. The contract for the current program expires on September 30, 2008 and MassDEP intends to adopt program revisions that will take effect October 1, 2008. MassDEP will amend its current regulation to make program revisions and submit the amended regulation to EPA as a separate SIP amendment . The SIP amendment will demonstrate that the revised program effectively replaces the emission reductions required by the existing program, and that that revised program will meet the requirements of EPA’s I&M rule.
