Title: ●Response to Section 126 Petition from North Carolina | |
Abstract: EPA is reconsidering its decision to deny the petition submitted by the State of North Carolina to EPA pursuant to section 126 of the Clean Air Act (CAA). On March 18, 2004, North Carolina submitted a petition to EPA, under section 126 of the CAA, alleging that upwind major sources of PM and ozone precursors were contributing significantly to North Carolina's ability to attain or maintain the PM and ozone NAAQS. In 2006, EPA denied North Carolina's petition when we issued the CAIR FIP rule. After the D.C. Circuit remanded the CAIR rule, the legal basis for denying the PM part of North Carolina's petition no longer exists. In addition, facts have changed fundamentally regarding the ozone part of the petition. On March 5, 2009 the D.C. Circuit granted our motion for voluntary remand of our decision to deny North Carolina's petition. | |
