Title: ●Greenhouse Gases Under the Clean Air Act 
Abstract: This notice will solicit public input as EPA considers the specific effects of climate change and potential regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from stationary and mobile sources under the Clean Air Act. As EPA has considered how best to respond to the Supreme CourtÂ’s decision in Massachusetts v .EPA, as well as how to respond to petitions and comments received in rulemakings asking EPA to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from mobile and stationary sources, it has become clear that implementing the Supreme CourtÂ’s decision could affect many sources beyond cars and trucks. In this advance notice, EPA will present and request comment on the best available science including specific and quantifiable effects of greenhouse gases relevant to making an endangerment finding and the implications of this finding with regard to the regulation of both mobile and stationary sources. This notice will also seek comment, relevant data, and questions about the implications of the possible regulation of stationary and mobile sources, particularly covering the various petitions, lawsuits and court deadlines before the Agency. These include the Agency response to the Massachusetts v. EPA decision, several mobile source petitions (on-road, non-road, marine and aviation), and several stationary source rulemakings (petroleum refineries, Portland cement, and power plant and industrial boilers). Finally, the notice will also raise potential issues in the New Source Review program, including greenhouse gas thresholds and whether permitting authorities might need to define best available control technologies.
