New source performance standards(NSPS) implement Clean Air Act(CAA) section 111(b) and are issued for categories of sources which EPA [United States Environmental Protection Agency] has listed because they cause, or contribute significantly to, air pollution which may reasonably be anticipated to endanger public health or welfare. The primary purpose of the NSPS is to attain and maintain ambient air quality by ensuring that the best demonstrated emission control technologies are installed as industrial infrastructure is modernized. 3, record 1, English, - New%20Source%20Performance%20Standards

Each model was run to establish a benchmark "base case. "This benchmark is in compliance with current air pollution regulations in State Implementation Plans(SIPS) and, for newer plants, compliance with New Source Performance Standards(NSPS). The analyses were made of various feasible pollution control scenarios. Except for three common regulatory scenarios, different scenarios were assessed by each model, depending on the strengths of the particular models. 1, record 4, English, - pollution%20control%20scenario
