Recommendations
• EPA should include concept of Cleaner Production and Energy Efficiency in the scope of environmental report
• Proponents should also consider the above, specially for EA, for cost benefit
• Proponents’ responsibility is limited to submission of report and responding to queries. Follow-up for NOC is NOT required.

Industries in Category A would be required
to maintain a record of times during which
start-up and upset conditions occur.
Total time for start-up and upset conditions
would be reported on a periodic basis.

• Technical limitations specially in some cases of air emissions
• Technical basis of NEQS
• Individual ETP vs CETP
