Rule and Implementation Information
New Source Performance Standards (NSPS)
for Stationary Gas Turbines
The purpose of this page is to provide information regarding EPA's air emission regulations for Stationary Gas Turbines. This page is focused on New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) limiting SO2, PM, and NOx emissions from stationary gas turbines built after certain dates. A separate web page has been created to address toxic air emissions from stationary gas turbines. See Combustion Related Rules for a list of combustion related rules, including MACT (air toxics) standards for stationary gas turbines.
Information is categorized into four groups as follows: (1) Rule Information, (2) Technical Information, (3) Implementation Information, or (4) Related Web Sites. Descriptions of (and direct links to) these areas are provided below.
Rule Information -- This area contains Federal Register notices for both proposed and promulgated (final) rules. The Federal Register notices summarize the basis of the rules and include the actual regulatory text. In addition, the actual regulatory text is available as it appears in the Code of Federal Regulations, and links to closely related rules, policies, or program guidance are provided here.
Technical Information -- This area contains technical information used in developing the rules. Background documents are available for download. In addition, fact sheets which summarize the requirements of the rules are available here.
Implementation Information -- This area contains implementation information. Compliance and enforcement information is provided here.
Related Web Sites -- This area provides links to other web sites where additional information may be found.
