The Phase 2 Air Pollution Control Fees (hereinafter referred to as “the Fees”) have been imposed for over 14 years. The relevant imposing system and responsive measures have been established and smoothly operated. In order to integrate relevant work of air pollution control and prevention and to improve Convenience services, the Environmental Protection Administration(EPA) since July, 2007, transferred the operations of declaration and calculation of the Fees to the Environmental Protection Bureau(EPB) of each city and county. It was expected that through the labor division of the central and local governments, the Collection system could be enhanced to complete the system and strengthen the management mechanism of the external auditing. The main priority work of this year include: 1. strengthening fees verification and monitoring operation of stationary sources of air pollution; 2. executing effectiveness evaluation of operations in EPBs and evaluating and establishing investigator qualification system; 3. evaluating the executing effectiveness of fees execution to grasp current pollution emission; 4. Assisting the reviews and modification of fees Collection system; 5. carrying out the work of accounting auditing; and 6. enhancing online fees declaration Management system.. The project completed the modification and enhancement of supervision and monitoring standard operational procedure, established sound external auditing procedure and executed examination of air pollution control fee operation quality of 250 local declaration cases , ten VOCs onsite auditing and consultation, and the verification of 18 cases according to Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems . Through the onsite consultation of 25 screening in EPB, we examined the drawbacks of execution and enacted technical manual and standard operational procedures the guidelines to the EPB for examination work . In order to effectively solve the lack of human qualities issue for auditing, this project assisted to establish investigator qualification system and completed the compiling of training materials. In October, we conducted two seminars on the training of technical application to demonstration the achievements. We also established the database of existing auditor talents. Additionally, we reviewed the completeness of Collection system and examined relevant rules and regulations of VOCs calculation for the studies and enactment of modifications. To expand economic incentives for reduction, we analyzed the feasibility to impose fees for particulate pollutants and completed the enhancement and updates of declaration review system of air pollution control fees to realize the public policies based on the convenience.
