Implementation Strategy for the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 (Update, 1992)

OAR’s implementation of the new Act is based on a two-year strategy, which is
updated each year. Attachment A shows the major milestones that occur through
1993, and notes the completion status for each milestone at the time of this report's
publication.

The remainder of this report will focus on the Agency’s progress to date and on the
activities that must occur in fiscal year 1992 to ensure effective implementation of the
CAAA.

Environmental Priorities - Building on our Successes in 1992

in the year since the new Clean Air Act was signed, OAR has developed rules that will
achieve three-quarters of the entire pollution reduction envisioned in the Act. When
fully implemented, the rules already proposed or in place will remove approximately 41
billion of an expected 56 billion pounds of air pollutants per year. (See Figure 1.)

So Far

Figure 1

In the second year of CAAA implementation, the Agency will take even greater strides
toward cleaning the nation’s air and preserving the health of our environment for future
generations. OAR’s two-year plan includes 92 specific actions for FY 1992, as
compared to 40 completed in FY 1991. Its major effort in 1992 will be to move CAAA
implementation out to all of the states.



Introduction

IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY FOR
THE CLEAN AIR ACT AMENDMENTS OF 1990 (UPDATE, 1992)

Signed into law by President Bush on November 15, 1990, the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990 (CAAA) raised the curtain on a new era of cleaner air for all
Americans. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has charged its Office of Air
and Radiation (OAR) with the critical task of developing and overseeing the Agency’s
implementation strategy for the CAAA. OAR’s highest priority--and its greatest
challenge--for fiscal year 1992 will be the continued implementation of the CAAA.

OAR has identified its four most important goals:

| e To bring all cities into health standards attainment; }

e To reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by 10 million tons; and |

a ; a
| « To phase out 100 percent of chlorofluorocarbons (CFC’s) by the year 1995. |

EPA is committed to implement the new Act as cost-effectively as possible, and to
ensure that its strategy is fully consistent with national energy and economic policies.
The implementation of the amendments will not only employ traditional approaches for
controlling air pollution, but also use the power of the marketplace, encourage local
initiatives, and emphasize pollution prevention.

Key CAAA Actions

Clean Fuels: EPA negotiated regulatory agreements on reformulated gasoline and
oxygenated fuels. The resulting rules will reduce tailpipe emissions by requiring the
use of oxygenated fuel in areas that are nonattainment for carbon monoxide by
November of 1992 and, starting in 1995, require the use of reformulated gasoline in
severe ozone nonattainment areas.

Acid Rain: EPA proposed a clean air rule that will cut emissions of sulfur dioxide,
a major contributor to acid rain, by 50 percent. This is a product of the Acid Rain
Advisory Committee, a diverse group representing utilities, state regulators,
environmental and consumer groups, the coal and gas industry, and others.

Visibility: On September 18, 1991 EPA promulgated controls on Arizona’s Navajo
Generating Station. EPA also established a visibility transport commission to
identify and evaluate sources and source regions that affect the visibility of the
Grand Canyon National Park. In 1993, EPA and the National Park Service will
issue an interim report.

Clean Air Act Advisory Committee: The Clean Air Act Advisory Committee
(CAAAC) was established in November of 1990 to provide high-level, independent
advice to EPA on policy issues related to implementation of the 1990 Clean Air Act
Amendments. The CAAAC is comprised of 50 senior representatives from State
and local governments, academic institutions, unions, environmental and public
interest groups, and industries.



Implementation Strategy for the Clean Air Act Amendments af 1990 (Update, 1992)



Introduction

The CAAA requires EPA to promulgate more than 120 regulations by 1995, an average
of 24 rules per year. Previously, OAR averaged five to eight rules per year. OAR must
also conduct major research programs and carry out more than 90 studies. Figure 2

shows the number of actions included in the revised two-year implementation strategy.

Implementation Principles

The great environmental progress OAR made during the last year is even more
significant because of the way it was achieved. Guided by the implementation
principles shown on page 5, OAR made every effort to base its regulations on
innovative, market-based methods, achieving the goals of the Clean Air Act while
supporting economic growth and sound energy policy. OAR sought outside help in
this process through a massive program of consultation with groups who would be
affected by the regulations, ranging from formal regulatory negotiations to informal
meetings with interested groups. It worked closely with industry and environmental
organizations, other Federal agencies, and State and local governments.

In 1992, OAR will continue on this path, basing regulations on market principles
wherever possible, and seeking broad consensus on the design of the rules. As the
program shifts more toward implementation in the field, a key element of OAR strategy
will be to continue to encourage State and local agencies to adopt consensus building
and market-based strategies for their own implementation efforts. OAR has already

OM agenct

JUL 24 1992

OFFICE OF
AIR AND RADIATION

Honorable William K. Reilly
Administrator

US. Environmental Protection Agency
Washington, D.C. 20460

Dear Mr. Reilly:

Enclosed is the updated two-year implementation strategy for the Clean Air Act
Amendments of 1990. The strategy outlines our priorities for the remainder of 1992 and
for 1993.

Since the President signed the Clean Air Act Amendments in November 1990, we
have made great strides in carrying out the requirements of the Act. In 1991 we
completed more than 40 regulatory actions. When fully implemented, these actions will
achieve three-fourths of the entire pollution reduction envisioned in the Act.

For the remainder of 1992, we have set forth an ambitious agenda proposing to
complete twice the number of actions in 1992 than we completed in 1991. We will
continue to use the principles established in our initial strategy as the foundation for
implementing the new Act. We will apply market-based approaches to achieve pollution
reduction goals while supporting strong and sustainable economic growth. We will solicit
input from all interested parties--other governmental organizations, industry,
environmental groups, and academics--in creating innovative strategies to efficiently
execute statutory requirements.

State and local governments will continue to play an essential and increasing role
in implementation of the new Act, consistent with the fundamental thrust of the Act for
control programs tailored to the characteristics of each area. In 1992 we will encourage
State and local officials to adopt consensus building and market-based strategies in their
own implementation efforts. The OAR is increasing significantly its outreach programs
to State and local governments in 1992.

The revised two-year strategy highlights key activities completed in 1991 and
planned for 1992. The strategy also reiterates our implementation principles and
provides an overview of the approaches that we will use to guide and carry out our
activities in the most effective fashion. Finally, the strategy displays on a month-by-
month basis the major milestones associated with each title of the Act for 1992 and 1993.
