Title: Revisions to Regional Haze Rule To Address Concerns Raised by DC Circuit Regarding Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) 
Abstract: To meet the Clean Air Act's requirements, EPA published the regional haze rule on July 1, 1999 (64 FR 35714). On May 24, 2002, the DC Circuit vacated certain provisions of the regional haze rule related to best available retrofit technology (BART). Because of this court decision, we will need to re-propose and publish revised BART provisions in the regional haze rule. On July 20, 2001, we proposed guidelines intended to add further clarifications to the BART requirements in the regional haze rule. These proposed BART guidelines also will require a re-proposal. The purpose of this rulemaking is to provide the appropriate changes to the BART requirements and guidelines, and to address additional issues related to reasonable progress goals for the visibility program.
