New Source Review Policy and Guidance Document Index

Since 1976, EPA has provided guidance to Regions, States and Permittees to assist in the implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) preconstruction permit program under Part C (Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) NSR permits) and Part D (Nonattainment NSR permits) of the Clean Air Act. This compilation contains over 600 EPA-issued policy and guidance documents. This page provides three different methods to access these documents.

• The first method is to use the General Guidance index to view the documents by date, author, or title. The documents may be sorted by clicking on the column heading of interest. Click again to switch between ascending and descending order. To sort by more than one column, hold down the Shift-key and select column(s) in the order of interest. To filter by keyword in the table, use the filter bar at the top of the table.
• The second method is to use the Relevant Guidance index to view the documents grouped by topic. The documents are sorted by topic heading. Please note, however, that the topic index does not include all documents contained in the General Guidance index. More information on the scope of the documents organized in the topic index is available.
• The third method is to use the search page to conduct keyword or phrase searches within documents or to search by author, title, or date. This page provides a search engine for the NSR and Title V Policy and Guidance Document Indexes, as well as the Title V Petition Database.

For general guidance relevant to multiple NSR topics, please review the NSR Workshop Manual (Draft 1990)(pdf) (1,225 KB) and the PSD & Title V Permitting Guidance for Greenhouse Gases (2011)(pdf) (837 KB). Additional guidance may also be available in the Title V Petition Database or the Environmental Appeals Board Database.
