# 1 FACT SHEET

The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule: Reducing the Interstate Transport of Fine

Particulate Matter and Ozone

ACTION On July 6, 2011, the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) finalized a rule that protects the health of millions of Americans by helping states reduce air pollution and meet Clean Air Act standards. This final rule replaces EPA’s 2005 Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR). A De cember 2008 court decision found flaws in CAIR, but kept CAIR requirements in pl ace temporarily while directing EPA to issue a replacement rule. In order to replace CAIR as quickly as possible, addressing the problem of air polluti on that is transported across state boundaries, EPA is adopting federal implement ation plans, or FIPs, for each of the states covered by this rule. This fi nal Cross-State Air Po llution Rule meets the Clean Air Act requirements and res ponds to the court’s concerns.

The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule require s 27 states in the eastern half of the United States to significantly improv e air quality by reducing power plant

emissions that cross state lines and contribute to ground-level ozone and fine particle pollution in other states. This ac tion builds on more than fifteen years of progress in implementing Clean Air Ac t reductions of sulfur dioxide (SO 2 

# ) and nitrogen oxides (NO X 

# ).

At the same time, the Agency also i ssued a supplemental proposal that would require six states — Iowa, Kansas , Michigan, Missouri, Oklahoma, and

Wisconsin — to make summertime NO X 

# reductions under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule ozone-season control program . Five of those states are already

covered in the final rule for in terstate fine particle pollution (PM 2.5 

# ). Finalizing this supplemental proposal would bring the total number of covered states under the

Cross-State Air Pollution Rule to 28.

The $800 million spent annually on this rule in 2014, along with the roughly $1.6 billion per year in capital investments al ready under way as a result of CAIR, are improving air quality for over 240 million Americans and will result in $120 to $280 billion in annual benefits, including the value of avoiding 13,000 to 34,000 premature deaths each year. These estima tes include the costs and benefits of the supplemental proposal. Moreover, st ates where investments in control technology are required also receive large benefits.

This final rule requires significant reductions in SO 2 

# and NO X 

# emissions from power plants in the eastern half of the United States. These pollutants react in the atmosphere to form PM 2.5 

# and ground-level ozone and ar e transported long distances, making it difficult for a number of states to meet t he national clean air standards that Congress directed EPA to es tablish to protect public health.

Emission reductions under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule will begin to take effect quickly. The first phase of compliance begins January 1, 2012 for SO 2 

# and

# 2 annual NO X 

# reductions and May 1, 2012 for ozone season NO X 

# reductions. The second phase of SO 2 

# reductions begins January 1, 2014. By 2014, the CrossState Air Pollution Rule and other final state and EPA actions will reduce power plant SO 2 

# emissions by 73 percent from 2005 levels. Power plant NO X 

# emissions will drop by 54 percent.

This rule also lays out a proce ss for determining each upwind state's responsibility to protect downwind ai r quality. Each time the NAAQS are changed, EPA can apply this process and determine if interstate pollution transport contributes to exceedance s of the new standard and whether new emission reductions should be required from upwind states . For example, additional emission reductions from pow er plants or other sources in upwind

states – in addition to actions tak en in downwind states – may be needed in order for many areas to meet future ozone or PM 2.5 

# standards. EPA will work expeditiously with states to meet these future cha llenges using as a precedent

the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule ’s approach to determining upwind responsibility. 

# Cross-State Air Pollution Rule Region

# 3 KEY FEATURES OF THE CROSS-STATE AIR POLLUTION RULE Of the states affected by the fi nal Cross-State Air Pollution Rule:

 Twenty-three states are r equired to reduce both annual SO 2 

# and NO X 

# emissions. By reducing emissions in upwind states, the rule improves

PM 2.5 

# air quality in downwind states and helps them attain and maintain

the 24-hour PM 2.5 

# air quality standards established in 2006 and the 1997

annual PM 2.5 

# standards.

 Twenty states are required to reduce NO X 

# emissions during the ozone season (May through September) because they contribute to downwind states’ ozone pollution. By reducing em issions in upwind states, the rule improves ozone air quality in downwin d states and helps them attain and

maintain the 1997 8-hour ozone standard.

Additionally, EPA is issuing a proposed rule requesting comment on inclusion of the following six states in the Cro ss-State Air Pollution Rule ozone season program: Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Miss ouri, Oklahoma, and Wisconsin. The final

Cross-State Air Pollution Rule does not include ozone season NO X 

# reduction requirements for these six states. Howeve r, all of these states, except for Oklahoma, are included in the final Cr oss-State Air Pollution Rule annual NO X 

# program for PM 2.5 

# that begins January 1, 2012. EPA intends to finalize the supplemental proposal as soon as possible. Once final, it would increase the

total number of covered states in the Cr oss-State Air Pollution Rule region to 28 and the number required to reduce ozone season NO X 

# emissions to 26.

The table at the end of this fact sheet i dentifies the states covered by the final rule and the emissions they will need to contro l, including the si x states proposed in the supplemental notice of prop osed rulemaking to be included for ozone

season NO X 

# emission reductions.

EPA carefully considered the court’s direct ion in developing the Cross-State Air

Pollution Rule. The rule defines what portion of an upwind state’s emissions “significantly contribute” ozone or PM 2.5 

# pollution to nonattainment or

maintenance areas in downwind states. Th is definition considers the magnitude of a state’s contribution, the air quality benefits of reductions, and the cost of controlling pollution from various sour ces. Once these obligations are determined, the rule requires states to eliminate the portion of their emissions defined as their “significant contribution” by setting a pollution limit (or budget) for

each covered state.

The rule allows air-quality-assured a llowance trading among covered sources, utilizing an allowance market infrastr ucture based on existing, successful allowance trading programs. The final Cross-State Air Pollution Rule allows

sources to trade emissions allowances with other sources within the same program (e.g., ozone season NO X 

# ) in the same or differ ent states, while firmly constraining any emissions shifting that may occur by requiring a strict emission ceiling in each state (the budget plus variab ility limit). It also includes assurance

# 4 provisions that ensure each state will make the emission reductions necessary to fulfill the “good neighbor” provision of the Clean Air Act.

In response to the court’s direction to replace CAIR as quickly as possible, EPA is adopting federal implementat ion plans, or FIPs, for each of the states covered by this rule; states may replace the FI Ps with State Implement ation Plans (SIPs).

 The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule includes an expedited process for states to adjust specific aspects of t he FIP, such as allowance allocations, as early as 2013, including crediting sources for NO X 

# allowances banked under earlier programs.

 A state also may choose to develop a state plan (SIP) to achieve the required reductions, replacing its federal plan, and may choose which types of sources to control by 2014.

EMISSION REDUCTIONS AND COMPLI ANCE WITH THE CROSS-STATE AIR

POLLUTION RULE Compared to 2005, EPA estimates that by 2014 this rule and other federal rules will lower power plant annual emissions in the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule region by:

 6.4 million tons per year of SO 2 

# (2005 emissions were 8.8 million tons)

 1.4 million tons per year of NO X 

# (2005 emissions were 2.6 million tons)

o Including 340,000 tons per year of NO X 

# during the ozone season.

The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, including states proposed for inclusion in the supplemental notice of proposed rulemaki ng, covers 3,632 electric generating units at 1,074 coal-, gas-, and oil-fir ed facilities in 28 states. EPA’s modeling projects that by 2014, in t he states covered by the Cr oss-State Air Pollution Rule:

 Approximately 70 percent of the power generated fr om coal-fired power plants will come from unit s with state-of-the-art SO 2 

# controls (such as scrubbers).

 Approximately 50 percent of the power generated fr om coal-fired power plants will come from unit s with state of the art NO X 

# controls (such as SCR).

EPA modeling shows that coal use will c ontinue to grow under the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and pow er plants may achieve the necessary emission reductions by:

 Maintaining effective and frequent oper ation of already installed control equipment,

 Using low sulfur coal,

 Increasing generation from rela tively cleaner units, and/or

 Installing existing, commercially pr oven technologies that are widely available and frequently used in this industry, such as low NO X 

# burners, scrubbers (flue gas desulfurization), or dry sorbent injection.

# 5 AIR QUALITY IMPROVEMENTS UNDER THE CROSS-STATE AIR

POLLUTION RULE

The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule wil l improve air quality in thousands of counties throughout the eastern, central, and southern U.S. – counties that are

home to over 75% of the U.S. population. State, lo cal and federal actions have already improved air quality so that many counties meet the National Ambient Air Quality Standards for ozone and fine particle pollution. Many areas have already been brought into attainment with these standards, this rule will help to bring several more areas into attainment and help many more areas continue to meet

the level of the standards.

BENEFITS AND COSTS OF THE CROSS-STATE AIR POLLUTION RULE

The emission reductions from this final rule will have significant and immediate public health benefits. By 2014, th is rule will annually prevent:

 13,000 to 34,000 premature deaths,

 19,000 cases of acute bronchitis,

 15,000 nonfatal heart attacks,

 19,000 hospital and emergency room visits,

 1.8 million days when peopl e miss work or school,

 400,000 cases of aggravated asthma, and

 420,000 cases of upper and lowe r respiratory symptoms.

These emission reductions will also improv e visibility in nati onal and state parks, and increase protection for sensitive ec osystems including Adirondack lakes and Appalachian streams, coastal waters and estuaries, and forests.

The $800 million spent annually on this rule in 2014, along with the roughly $1.6 billion per year in capital investments al ready under way as a result of CAIR, are improving air quality for over 240 million Americans and will result in $120 to $280 billion in annual benef its. These estimates includ e the costs and benefits of the supplemental proposal.

The employment effects of this rule are modest, but by our analysis positive. EPA examined some employment impacts using two methodologies which are

detailed in the RIA. Both show that some jobs are lost, but more are gained as some companies construct and operate pol lution control equipment to comply

with the rule.

BACKGROUND This Cross-State Air Pollution Rule repl aces the 2005 Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) starting January 1, 2012. EPA i ssued CAIR on May 12, 2005 and the CAIR federal implementation plans (FIP s) on April 26, 2006. In 2008, the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit re manded CAIR to the Agency, leaving existing CAIR programs in place while dire cting EPA to replace them as rapidly as possible with a new rule consis tent with the Clean Air Act.

# 6 The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule wa s proposed July 6, 2010. EPA held three public hearings on the proposed rule dur ing the 60-day comment period. EPA

also issued three notices of data avail ability (NODAs) to provide additional opportunities for public comment on data, m odeling, and other ke y aspects of the rule. The Agency received hundreds of detailed comments from states, environmental and public health groups, in dustry, and other stakeholders during the comment periods for the proposed rule and NODAs.
