      "summary": "The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) final rule on clarifying the definition of routine\nmaintenance under its New Source Review (NSR) process exempts industrial facilities from\nundergoing NSR if they are replacing safety, reliability, and efficiency rated components with new,\nfunctionally equivalent equipment and if the cost of the replacement components is under 20%25\nof the replacement value of the process unit. Essentially, the rule permits owners of existing units\nto maintain and operate their units at their original design specifications without having to undergo\nNSR, a process that could require a source to meet potentially expensive pollution control\nrequirements. The rule is controversial and being litigated. In December 2003, a three-judge panel\nof the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked implementation of the rule until it can make a final\ndetermination about the case. Legislation being considered in the 109th Congress would permit the\nrule to go into effect. This paper will be updated as events warrant.",
