EPA has a powerful new query tool on its Clean Air Markets web site. This user-friendly tool provides faster and easier public access to emissions and facility data for the thousands of units affected by the Acid Rain Program and the NOx Budget Program (a nitrogen oxides emissions reduction program to mitigate ozone problems in the Northeast). This is the latest e-Government product in the ongoing efforts of the Agency to conduct business on-line and better serve the public. The new approach allows users to define the exact data they want from EPA's extensive records, and to receive it in an easy-to-use format. Users can select from a number of predefined emissions data reports or create their own queries. Also available are characteristics of units located at each facility, including fuel type and pollution control equipment. Users can even download prepackaged files with hourly emissions data. This new tool is available at: http://www.epa.gov/airmarkets, under Data and Maps.
