Review of New Source Performance Standards for Stationary Combustion Turbines and Stationary Gas Turbines; Reopening of Comment Period

Key Points

• 1This rule covers pollution controls for gas turbines that generate electricity and power industrial operations across the country
• 2The EPA is reopening the public comment period, giving people and businesses another chance to submit their views on whether the current emission standards are effective
• 3Gas turbines release nitrogen oxides and other pollutants that contribute to smog and breathing problems, so these standards help protect air quality
• 4Power plants, manufacturers, and environmental groups can all provide input on whether rules should be stricter, less strict, or stay the same
• 5The final decision could affect operating costs for energy companies and influence how clean the air is in communities near power plants
