September 17, 2010 - EPA has received and declined several requests to extend the comment period for the proposed Transport Rule. The comment period on this rule will end on October 1, 2010. The proposed rule and much of the key supporting documentation was posted on our website on July 6, 2010 and the rule was formally published in the Federal Register on August 2, 2010. We believe the comment period provided is sufficient for interested parties to review the rule, prepare and submit input. This time frame will allow EPA to consider public comments and develop a final rule in time to obtain needed emissions
reductions.

September 1, 2010 - EPA announces a Notice of Data Availability Supporting the Proposed Transport Rule

July 6, 2010- EPA proposes a rule that would significantly reduce emissions that contribute to fine particle and ozone pollution in the eastern United States.

Proposed Rule (PDF) (256pp 1.5 MB) Federal Register - August 2, 2010 Note : The preamble to the proposed rule contains an error. As discussed in detail on preamble pages 45307-45309, EPA proposes to include provisions allowing for units to opt-in to the proposed trading programs. The proposed rule text includes opt-in provisions. However, language on page 45338 of the preamble, bottom of the 1st column, and on page 45340 of the preamble, middle column, erroneously states that the proposal does not allow units to opt-in. EPA believes that the proposal as written makes it clear that the Agency is proposing to allow units to opt in to the Transport Rule trading programs.
