Permittees must comply with applicable New Source Performance Standard (NSPS) provisions. NSPS requirements are included in the applicable requirement definition under 40 CFR 71.2, which has been adopted by the Department under 18 AAC 50.040(j)(1).

Coal-Fired Power Plants can be subject to a variety of NSPS Subparts for affected facilities based on a variety of factors and can include, but are not limited to 40 C.F.R. 60 Subparts A, Y, and IIII.

The Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) has incorporated by reference the National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants (NESHAP) requirements for specific industrial activities, as listed in 18 AAC 50.040(c).

Coal-Fired Power Plants can include NESHAP Subparts A, ZZZZ, DDDDD, and Case-by-Case Boiler Boiler MACT rules.

Compliance Assurance Monitoring (CAM) provisions are required under 40 C.F.R. Part 64. These provisions apply to emission units that employ the use of an add-on control device to meet an emission limit or standard and have pre-control emissions greater than 100 TPY for the pollutant for which the control device is operated. CAM provisions typically apply to coal-fired boilers due to the operation of a control device (baghouse).
