recommendations regarding a regional

backstop market trading program.

Final Public Comment Period and

Public Meetings

Public comment on final

recommendations will be sought August

14 to September 8, 2000. Regional

public meetings will be held in

communities throughout the West.

Currently, meetings are being

considered for Arizona, Colorado,

Idaho, New Mexico, Oregon, Utah,

Washington, and Wyoming. Others may

be added. Details will be made available

shortly on the WRAP Web site. Final

recommendations will be submitted to

EPA by October 2, 2000.

Background

The WRAP was created as the

successor organization to the Grand

Canyon Visibility Transport

Commission (GCVTC), which made over

70 recommendations in June 1996 for

improving visibility in 16 national parks

and wilderness areas on the Colorado

Plateau. The Partnership promotes,

supports and monitors implementation

of those recommendations throughout

the West. Under EPA’s Regional Haze

Rule (64 FR 35713, July 1, 1999), nine

of the Western states have the option to

comply with the GCVTC’s regional

visibility protection program. The

program requires the establishment of a

regional emission milestone for 2018, in

addition to interim milestones. The

recommendations and options regarding

the market trading program were

developed over the last two years by

WRAP committees comprising a diverse

group of stakeholders including

industry, environmental groups and

academia.
