Federal Implementation Plans To Reduce Interstate Transport of
Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone
AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
ACTION: Proposed rule.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: EPA is proposing to limit the interstate transport of
emissions of nitrogen oxides (NOX ) and sulfur dioxide
(SO2 ). In this action, EPA is proposing to both identify and
limit emissions within 32 states in the eastern United States that
affect the ability of downwind states to attain and maintain compliance
with the 1997 and 2006 fine particulate matter (PM2.5 )
national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS) and the 1997 ozone
NAAQS. EPA is proposing to limit these emissions through Federal
Implementation Plans (FIPs) that regulate electric generating units
(EGUs) in the 32 states. This action will substantially reduce the
impact of transported emissions on downwind states. In conjunction with
other federal and state actions, it helps assure that all but a handful
of areas in the eastern part of the country will be in compliance with
the current ozone and PM2.5 NAAQS by 2014 or earlier. To the
extent the proposed FIPs do not fully address all significant
transport, EPA is committed to assuring that any additional reductions
needed are addressed quickly. EPA takes comments on ways this proposal
could achieve additional NOX reductions and additional
actions including other rulemakings that EPA could undertake to achieve
any additional reductions needed.
DATES: Comments. Comments must be received on or before October 1,
2010.
Public Hearing: Three public hearings will be held before the end
of the comment period. The dates, times and locations will be announced
separately. Please refer to SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION for additional
information on the comment period and the public hearings.
