The Ministry of Environment (MOENV) has collected the air pollution control fees (hereinafter referred to as "APCF") since 1995. The MOENV delegated the review work of the APCF for stationary pollution sources to the local environmental protection bureaus in 2007, while the MOENV reviewed the APCF for mobile pollution sources by itself. To continuously improve air quality, this project cooperated with the MOENV in amending the collection regulations of APCF, auditing, and data quality management. The relevant outcomes for stationary and mobile pollution sources are shown as follows. For the main outcomes related to the APCF for stationary pollution sources, the "Rates of air pollution control fee of stationary sources" was amended, including the addition of a new tier and adjustments of rates for hazardous substances and flare tower. Furthermore, this project reviewed the regulations governing fare deduction and incentives for air pollution control equipment as well as developing local emission factors. Regarding review and audit, several tasks were implemented, including the on-site guidance to the local environmental protection bureaus and premises and external audit on selected review cases. By holding the workshops and editing the training course materials, efforts were made to enhance the professional capabilities of dedicated air pollution control personnel and the consistency of audit. For data quality management, this project also improved functions of fees reporting system following the latest regulations, reduced vulnerability to cyberattacks, and ensured the accuracy of fees accounts audited by an accountant. For the main outcomes related to the APCF for mobile pollution sources, the "Amendment to the standards for the composition of mobile pollution source fuels" and price factors were taken into consideration for the fee rates, which will provide an economic incentive for fuel producer to improve fuel quality. Regarding review and audit, the following tasks were finished, including reviewing the reporting data of fees for mobile pollution sources and on-site audits. This project also assisted the MOENV in allocating the funds collected from mobile pollution sources to the local environmental protection bureaus. The accuracy of fees accounts was ensured by auditing with an accountant. For data quality management, the maintenance of reporting system and vulnerability scanning were both finished.
