Title: ●Revisions to Federal Implementation Plans to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone 
Abstract: On August 8, 2011, EPA published in the Federal Register the final Federal Implementation Plans to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter (76 FR 48208). This rule uses a cap and trade approach to reduce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides emissions and replaces the Clean Air Interstate Rule, which was promulgated in 2005 and remanded to EPA in 2008 by the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit. This proposal would correct unit-level discrepancies in some state emission budgets and new unit set-asides; amend the effective date of the assurance provisions from 2012 until 2014; and align allocations to units under consent decrees.
