In December 2010, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency entered into two settlement agreements requiring it to incorporate greenhouse gas emissions into the new source performance standards (NSPS) for natural gas, oil, and coal-fired electricity-generating units and petroleum refineries. This primer provides a general overview of the NSPS rulemaking and implementation process.
