The Consolidated Emissions Reporting
rule proposes to revise existing statewide annual point source
inventory requirements to minimize the annual reporting burden for
a majority of sources. Under the proposed rule, 55 State and
Territorial air quality agencies must annually submit emissions
data for larger point sources emitting specified levels of criteria
pollutants, as well as PM-2.5. New requirements associated with the
proposed rule include the addition of PM-2.5, and a provision to
report major source hazardous air pollutants (HAPs) emissions on a
triennial basis.
