Project Title:
Assessing the Impact of Voluntary Programs on Regulatory Compliance
Sponsoring Office:
Office of Air and Radiation, Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Outreach and Information Division, Community and Tribal Programs Group
Project Overview:
Voluntary programs to reduce air pollution from Area Sources located in urban environments have been implemented. The Collision Repair Campaign (CRC) is one such effort. The CRC assists auto body repair shops to attain early compliance with the Surface Coating National Emissions Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) prior to its effective date. The fellow selected for this project will research and develop methods to assess the statistical validity of the short-term and long-term impacts of the CRC by building on existing small-scale studies. It will involve balancing multiple technical, policy, and statistical considerations to generate meaningful data. This work will require both technical and creative skills to adapt a program that can be replicated in other areas.
Project Goals:
The fellow will gain insight into the relationships between the regulatory and voluntary programs, and community action. The fellow will also obtain experience in working across other EPA offices, such as the Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assistance (OECA), and with the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to incorporate their perspectives.
Final Product of the Project:
The fellow will provide a final report discussing the development of a prototype statistical evaluation tool that can be extended to other areas.
Project Location:
EPA Headquarters, Research Triangle Park, NC
