Title: Withdr.of the Prior Deter. or Presump. That Compl. w/CAIR or the NOx SIP Call Const. RACT or RACM for the 97 8-Hr Ozone & 97Fine Part. NAAQS; & Rev. to RACT Guid. & RFP Req. for the 97Fine Part. NAAQS
Abstract: This NRPM will propose to withdraw any prior determination or presumption that compliance with the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) or the NOx SIP Call constitutes reasonably available control technology (RACT) or reasonably available control measures (RACM) for oxides of nitrogen (NOx) or sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions from electric generating unit (EGU) sources participating in these regional cap-and-trade programs. This rule will propose revisions to preamble guidance in the final Implementation Rule for the 1997 PM2.5 national ambient air quality standard (NAAQS) concerning the economic feasibility criteria for determining RACT for sources located within nonattainment areas. The rule will also propose to clarify the situations under which emission reductions from outside of a nonattainment area can be credited toward meeting the Reasonable Further Progress (RFP) requirements for the 1997 PM2.5 NAAQS.
