NOX NATIONAL EMISSION INVENTORY ESTIMATES

This report presents the current and projected estimates of the national emissions inventory for oxides of nitrogen (NOx). A description of the methodology used to calculate the inventory is also provided. These inventories were used in the acid rain analysis performed in support of the Draft Regulatory Analysis, Environmental Impact Statement and Nox Pollutant Specific Study for Proposed Gaseous Emission for 1985 and Later Model Year Light Duty Trucks and Heavy Duty Engines. The emphasis of this report is on the projected change in national NOx emissions from 1977 to 1999. The impact of the proposed regulations on rain acidity is assumed to be proportional to total NOx emissions. While the inventories were used to support the draft regulatory analysis, they can also be used independently since an inventory is presented for the currently promulgated regulations as well as for the proposed regulations.
