Rain Program Rules
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Interim final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking interim final action to reaffirm the
promulgation of certain revisions of the Acid Rain Program rules in
order to prevent disruption of this program, which has achieved
significant, cost-effective reductions in sulfur dioxide
(SO2 ) emissions from utility sources since its commencement
in 1995. These rule revisions were finalized in the Federal Register
notices that also finalized the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and
the Federal Implementation Plans for CAIR (CAIR FIPs). The U.S. Court
of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit recently issued a
decision vacating and remanding CAIR and the CAIR FIPs. EPA and other
parties have petitioned for rehearing, and the Court has not yet issued
a mandate in the case. These revisions to the Acid Rain Program rules
were not addressed by, or involved in any of the issues raised by, any
parties in the proceeding or the Court. EPA believes it is reasonable
to view these revisions as unaffected by the Court's decision. However,
EPA is reaffirming--pursuant to its authority under Title IV of the
Clean Air Act (CAA) and CAA section 301--the promulgation of these
revisions in this interim final rule in order to remove any uncertainty
about their legal status because they have been in effect since mid-
2006, most of them are crucial to the ongoing operation of the Acid
Rain Program, and the rest of them streamline and clarify requirements
of the program.
DATES: This action is effective on December 15, 2008 and will continue
in effect until December 15, 2009.
ADDRESSES: EPA has established a docket for this action under Docket ID
No. EPA-HQ-OAR-2008-0774, which incorporates by reference the dockets
for CAIR and the CAIR FIPs (Docket ID Nos. EPA-HQ-OAR-2003-0053 and
EPA-HQ-OAR-2004-0076). All documents in the docket are listed in the

ACTION: Direct final rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is taking direct final action to reaffirm the promulgation
of certain revisions of the Acid Rain Program rules in order to prevent
disruption of this program, which has achieved significant, cost-
effective reductions in sulfur dioxide (SO2 ) emissions from
utility sources since its commencement in 1995. These rule revisions
were finalized in the Federal Register notices that also finalized the
Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the Federal Implementation Plans

and the Court has not yet issued a mandate in the case. These revisions
to the Acid Rain Program rules were not addressed by, or involved in
any of the issues raised by, any parties in the proceeding or the
Court. EPA believes it is reasonable to view these revisions as
unaffected by the Court's decision. However, EPA is reaffirming--
pursuant to its authority under Title IV of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and
CAA section 301--the promulgation of these revisions in this direct
final rule in order to remove any uncertainty about their legal status
because they have been in effect since mid-2006, most of them are
crucial to the ongoing operation of the Acid Rain Program, and the rest
of them streamline and clarify requirements of the program.
DATES: This rule is effective, and the interim final rule (EPA-HQ-OAR-
2008-0744; FRL-8750-8) published simultaneously in the Federal Register
is withdrawn, on April 14, 2009 without further notice, unless EPA
receives adverse comment on the rule by January 29, 2009. If EPA
receives timely adverse comment on the direct final rule, the Agency
will publish a timely withdrawal of the direct final rule in the
Federal Register informing the public that the direct final rule is
being withdrawn and will not take effect and that the interim final
rule is not being withdrawn.
In addition to submitting written comments on this rule, any party
wanting to submit oral testimony on the rule must request a public
hearing by telephone or by e-mail to EPA by December 22, 2008. If such
a telephone or e-mail request for a public hearing is received by that
