Identification of research areas for Programmatic Agreements on PM and MSATs Sample Clauses

Identification of research areas for Programmatic Agreements on PM and MSATs. The second phase of the research involved identifying future research areas, particularly areas that would aid in developing PAs for MSAT and/or PM analyses. It is recognized that less is known about analyzing these pollutants than about analyzing CO. There are also more technical and analytical challenges associated with the analysis of these pollutants than with the analysis of CO. Embarking on research in the areas identified by this study would likely provide knowledge to help overcome these obstacles. The six research areas that were explored are detailed below: 1. Examination of projects for which PM hot-spot assessments were conducted. Most users conducting a PM hot-spot assessment as part of a NEPA study follow EPA’s Transportation Conformity Guidance for Quantitative Hot-spot Analyses in PM2.5 and PM10 Nonattainment and Maintenance Areas (Transportation and Climate Division Office of Transportation and Air Quality U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, EPA-420- B-13-053, November 2013)2. It may be useful to learn further about such projects and the methods they used to analyze PM emissions. Likewise, it would be valuable to examine projects that have engaged in developing emissions estimates for MSATs. The findings of these studies may inform development of PAs for MSAT and PM analyses. 2. Understanding the evolution of PM emissions over time. There has been a 90% reduction in diesel PM emissions since the introduction of post-2006 diesel truck engines. Given this, as well as the Tier 2 and Tier 3 gasoline PM emission reductions standards (30 ppb sulfur in gasoline in 2017), it would be worthwhile to explore how PM emissions have 2 Updated November, 2013.

Understanding the evolution of MSAT emissions over time. Large reductions in MSAT emissions, particularly diesel PM emissions, have occurred in recent years. A more complete picture of how MSAT emissions have changed and will continue to change in both quantity and source over past, current and future years would be a useful insight for development of a PA for MSATs. 4. Examination of existing guidance for PM hot-spot analysis. EPA’s current PM hot-spot guidance3 for a quantitative analysis identifies a 9-step process to determine the conformity of a project. Under NEPA, the approach may be simplified if i...
