# IPM **Analyses of the Cr oss**  **- St**  **ate Air**  **Pollution Rule (CSAPR)**  You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view some of the files on this page. See EPA's About PDF page to learn more about PDF, and a link to the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. 

### Analysis of the Final Cross **- State Air Pollution Rule**  On July 6, 2011, the EPA Administrator signed a Notice of Final Rulemaking for the Cross - State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) . EPA analyzed the impact of the final CSAPR on the U.S. electric power sector using version 4.10_FTransport of the Integrated Planning Model (IPM). From this page you can download documentation for IP M v4.10_FTransport, the NEEDS database of electric generation unit records used in the modeling, and the IPM run results files. **Documentation: EPA Base Case v.4.10_FTransport** EPA Base Case v.4.10_FTransport is the IPM version that EPA used to analyze provisions considered for inclusion in the Final CSAPR as a result of comments EPA received on the CSAPR proposal, issued on July 6, 2010, and the Notice of Data Availability , announced September 1, 2010. To learn more about the v.4.10_FTransport assumptio ns, click the link in the first bulleted item below. It provides access to a documentation supplement which focuses on the new features and revisions found in EPA Base Case v.4.10_FTransport. Since EPA Base Case v.4.10_FTransport builds on the last major u pdate to the IPM model (EPA Base Case v.4.10) links to the comprehensive documentation for that version of the model are provided under the second bulleted item below.

NEEDS includes basic geographic, operating, air emissions, and other data on these generating units.

Click on the IPM run name in the first column of the table below to download a file. The files are posted in one of two format s, a zipped archive or an excel spreadsheet, and contain the following:

 Detailed IPM input and output files (i.e., .DAT, System Summary Report, .RPE, .CAR, and TAC files) for the listed runs. Guide to content of IPM input and output files (PDF 123 KB) **IPM Run Files and Parsed Files*** **IPM Run Name IPM Run Description**  TR_Base_Case_Final (Zip 4.2 MB) Base case model run, which includes the national

Title IV SO2 cap - and - trade program; NOX SIP Callregional ozone season cap - and - trade program; and settlements and state rules. This run represents conditions without the proposed CSAPR and without the rule it replaces (CAIR). TR_Remedy

_Final (Zip 1.2 MB) This run models the air quality- assured trading final

remedy described in the CSAPR Preamble. *On August 2, 2011, EPA updated these web files to include additional information on projected regional wholesale electricity prices and unit - leve l electricity generation. While these are outputs of the IPM model, EPA did not rely on these specific parameters in its promulgation of the Cross - State Air Pollution Rule. However, in response to subsequent public interest, EPA is making these outputs ava ilable in these updated files. **IPM Analyses of the Proposed Transport Rule**
