The following are brief one line descriptions of the PSD memos that
exist in a compendium of EPA policy and guidance documents called
the New Source Review: Prevention of Significant Deterioration and
Nonattainment Area Guidance Notebook. Clicking on a description will
load the abstract file. The abstract file contains a brief synopsis
of the memo. From there you may either view the entire document on
line or download the entire document in PDF format. A number will
appear at the upper left hand side of page 1 of each document. This
number corresponds to the hardcopy document number in the Guidance
Notebook. You will also find in each abstract, other document numbers
which indicate other sections of the Guidance Notebook (by NSR topic
areas) in which that same document is abstracted. Documents for a
specific topic area can be found by using the ATTNWEB Search Page.
New documents and abstracts are no longer placed here but are
now located in the Uncategorized Policy @ Guidance Docs site. The
memos found here are those that have also been provided in the published
PSD Guidance Workbook.
