These letters respond to the Environmental Protection Agency’s proposed set of rules on air pollutant standards for commercial and industrial boilers.

Our comments address the need for ongoing tune-ups in pollution reduction, provide information on facility energy assessments, and recommend using output-based standards, which calibrate emissions by the amount of heat produced rather than the amount of fuel consumed.
