### INTRODUCTION

This document provides the Environmental Protection’s (EPA’s) responses to public comments on the Proposed Standards of Performanc e for Greenhouse Gas Emissions f rom Modified and
Reconstructed Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Generating Units. The Notice of Proposed Rulemaking was published in the Federal Register on June 18, 2014 , at 79 FR 34959 . T he EPA
received comments on the proposed rule via mail, e

- mail, facsimile, and at a public hearings held
in Atlanta, Georgia; Denver, Colorad o; and Washington, DC on July 29, 2014 and July 30, 2014; and in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on July 31, 2014 and August 1, 2014 . Copies of all comments submitted and transcripts for the public hearings are available electronically through http://www.regulati ons.gov by searching Docket ID: EPA

On January 8, 2014

, the EPA proposed standards of per formance to limit emissions of CO 2 from

new fossil fuel

- fired electric utility steam generating units and natural gas

- fired stationary

c ombustion turbines (79 FR 1430 ). This document only contains responses to comments on the
June 18 , 2014 proposal. A separate RTC document has been developed for comments on the January 8, 2014 proposal. Further, many comments submitted on the June 18, 2014 proposal duplicate in substance comments submitted on the January 8, 2014 proposal, and EPA’s responses to some such duplicate comments are provided in the RTC for the January 8, 2014 proposal and are not repeated here.

The EPA refers to the standards of performance for new, modified and reconstructed fossil fuel

fired EGUs as the ‘Carbon Pollution Standards

. ’ The Response

- to

- Comments (RTC) Document, together with the preamble to the final Carbon Pollution Standards, presents the responses of the
EPA to th e more than two million public comments received on the proposals described above. The EPA has addressed all significant issues raised in the public comments.

As a result of changes made to the preamble and final rule prior to signature, and due to the
vol ume of comments received, some responses in the RTC Documents may not reflect the language in the preamble and final rule in every respect. If there are any instances w here the

response in this document is in some way different from the preamble or the fin al rule, the language in the final preamble and rule controls and should be used for purposes of understanding the scope, requirements, and basis of the final rule. In addition, due to the large number of comments that addressed similar issues, as well as the volume of the comments received, the RTC Documents do not always cross

- reference each response to the commenter(s) who raised the particular issue involved. The responses presented in this document are intended to augment the responses to comments that appear in the preamble to the final rule or to address comments not discussed in that preamble. Although portions of the preamble to the final rule are paraphrased in this document where useful to add clarity to responses, the preamble itself
remains the definitive statement of the rationale for the revisions adopted in the final rule. In many instances, particular responses presented in the RTC Documents include cross references to responses on related issues that are located either in the preamble to the Carbon Pollution Standards, the Technical Support Documents, or elsewhere in the RTC Documents. All issues on which the EPA is taking final action in the Carbon Pollution Standards are addressed in the Carbon Pollution Standards rulemaking record.iv Accordi ngly, the RTC Documents, together with the preamble to the Carbon Pollution Standards and the information contained in the Technical Support Documents, and the rest of the administrative record should be considered collectively as the agency’s response to all of the significant comments submitted on the two proposals described above. The RTC Documents incorporate directly or by reference the significant public comments addressed in the preamble to the Carbon Pollution Standards as well as other significant public comments that were submitted on the proposed rule.



### BACKGROUND

On June 18, 2014, the EPA proposed standards of performance to limit emissions of CO 2 from
modified and reconstructed fossil fuel

- fired electric utility steam generating units and natural

gas

- fired stationary combustion turbines (79 FR 34959; June 2014 proposal). Specifically, the EPA proposed standards of performance for: (1) modified fossil fuel

- fired electric utility steam generating units, (2) modified natural gas

- fired stationary comb ustion turbines, (3) reconstructed
fossil fuel

- fired electric utility steam generating units, and (4) reconstructed natural gas

- fired stationary combustion turbines.



### STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEME NT

The EPA engaged extensively with a broad range of stakeholders and the general public regarding climate change, carbon pollution from power plants, and carbon pollution reduction opportunities. These stakeholders included industry and electric utility representatives, state and local officials, tribal officials, labor uni ons, non

- governmental organizations and many others.

In February and March 2011, early in the process of developing carbon pollution standards for new power plants, the EPA held five listening sessions to obtain information and input from key
stakeholders and the public. Each of the five sessions had a particular target audience: the electric power industry, environmental and environmental justice organizations, states and tribes, coalition groups, and the petroleum refinery industry.

The EPA conducted subs equent outreach prior to the June 2014 proposals of standards for modified and reconstructed EGUs and emission guidelines for existing EGUs, as well as during the public comment periods for the proposals. Although this stakeholder outreach was primarily
fr amed around the GHG emission guidelines for existing EGUs, the outreach encompassed issues relevant to this rulemaking and provided an opportunity for the EPA to better understand previous state and stakeholder experience with reducing CO 2 emissions in the power sector. In addition to 11 public listening sessions, the EPA held hundreds of meetings with individual stakeholder groups, and meetings that brought together a variety of stakeholders to discuss a wide range of issues related to the electricity sect or and regulation of GHGs under the CAA. The agency met with electric utility associations and electricity grid operators. Agency officials engaged with labor unions and with leaders representing large and small industries, many of
which have been utilitie s and industry representatives directly related to the electricity sector. The agency also met with energy industries such as coal and natural gas interests, as well as with representatives of energy intensive industries, such as the iron and steel and alu minum industries, to help understand the potential concerns of large industrial purchasers of electricity. In addition, the agency met with companies that offer new technology to prevent or reduce carbon pollution.v The agency provided and encouraged multip le opportunities for engagement with state, local, tribal, and regional environmental and energy agencies. The EPA also met with representatives of environmental justice organizations, environmental groups, and religious organizations.



### PUBLIC COMMENTS

The EPA received approximately 230 public comments on the J une 2014 proposed standards to
limit CO2 emissions from modified and reconstructed fo ssil fuel

- fired electric utilities (79 FR 34959). Table 1 presents the list of public commenters.
