Acid Rain Program; Notice of Public

Workshop on an Emissions Trading

Program for Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX)

AGENCY: Environmental Protection

Agency (EPA).

ACTION: Notice of public workshops on

a NOX emissions trading program. The

second workshop will be held on

December 11, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at

the Washington National Airport Hilton

Hotel.

SUMMARY: EPA recently issued a Notice

of Proposed Rulemaking to reduce

regional transport of ozone. As part of

this rulemaking, EPA is developing a

multi-state cap and trade program for

large stationary sources. As a way to

increase flexibility and maximize cost

savings, EPA is offering to administer

such a program. States are encouraged

to participate in the trading program as

a simple and cost-effective strategy for

meeting their state-wide emission

budget requirements. It is anticipated

that a model trading rule will be

included in a supplemental document

of proposed rulemaking for the transport

rule in early 1998 and will be finalized

along with the transport rule in

September 1998.

In order to provide a forum for input

on the framework of a model NOX cap

and trade program, EPA decided to hold

two public workshops. The first

workshop was held in early November;

a variety of comments from States and

interested participants were received on

the trading program framework. The

second workshop will be held on

December 11, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., at

the Washington National Airport Hilton

Hotel located at 2399 Jefferson Davis

Highway, Arlington Virginia. EPA will

use input from these workshops in

developing the model trading rule.
