Emissions inventory information supporting the proposed rule

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

August 2, 2010 - EPA will hold three public hearings on its proposed Transport Rule. Each

hearing will begin at 9 a.m. and continue until 8 p.m., local time or later if necessary. The

public may preregister to speak at the hearings at a specific time. People also may register in

person on the day of the hearing, and will be worked in to openings in the schedule of

speakers. To preregister to speak at the hearings, please contact Pamela Long at

long.pam@epa.gov, or 919-541-0641.

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.
