Input: Consider Input: SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Mercury Reduction and Energy 
Security Act of 2010''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE.

    (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
            (1) The Environmental Protection Agency (``EPA'') was 
        required by the terms of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 
        and a 1998 consent agreement to determine whether regulation of 
        mercury from electric utility steam generating units under 
        section 112 of the Clean Air Act was appropriate and necessary.
            (2) In a December 2000, regulatory finding, the EPA 
        concluded that regulation of mercury from electric utility 
        steam generating units was appropriate and necessary.
            (3) In 2005, the EPA withdrew its 2000 regulatory finding 
        in favor of a national cap-and-trade system for mercury 
        emissions from electric utility steam generating units, the 
        Clean Air Mercury Rule (``CAMR'').
            (4) CAMR was subsequently challenged in petitions for 
        review filed by 17 States.
            (5) The United States Court of Appeals for the District of 
        Columbia Circuit vacated the rule on February 8, 2008, finding 
        that once the EPA had listed electric utility steam generating 
        units as a source of hazardous air pollutants, it was required 
        by law to proceed with Maximum Achievable Control Technology 
        (``MACT'') regulations under section 112 of the Clean Air Act 
        unless it delisted the source category, under procedures set 
        forth in section 112(c)(9).
            (6) Mercury control technologies for coal-fired electric 
        utility steam generating units have advanced rapidly in the 
        last few years.
    (b) Purpose.--The purpose of this Act is to protect public health 
and welfare, and the environment, through mercury emission reductions 
from electric utility steam generating units.

SEC. 3. MERCURY EMISSION REDUCTIONS.

    The Clean Air Act (42 U.S.C. 7401 et seq.) is amended by adding at 
the end the following new title:

or operator of any affected unit fails to achieve the annual average 
emission limitation under subsection (a)(2), such owner or operator may 
notify the Administrator of such failure prior to March 1, 2015, and 
request an alternate emissions limitation for mercury with respect to 
such affected unit. Such owner or operator shall submit to the 
Administrator mercury emissions data measured by a CEMS that complies 
with subsection (d) for evaluation. If the Administrator determines 
that such owner or operator has properly installed and operated such 
CEMS and control technology designed to achieve such annual average 
emission limitation and is unable to meet such limitation, the 
Administrator may, not later than April 1, 2016, establish an alternate 
emissions limitation for mercury with respect to such affected unit 
based on the optimal performance of properly installed and operated 
control technology.
    ``(2) With respect to any affected unit, for any year for which an 
alternate emissions limitation for mercury is in place for such 
affected unit, the Administrator may review such alternate emissions 
limitation and impose a more stringent emissions limitation for mercury 
for the subsequent year based on new data regarding the demonstrated 
control capabilities of the type of control technology installed and 
operated at such affected unit.
    ``(3)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B), an owner or 
operator of an affected unit failing to achieve the annual average 
emission limitation under subsection (a)(2) that notifies the 
Administrator of such failure and requests and alternate emissions 
limitation for mercury pursuant to paragraph (1) shall be considered in 
compliance with this section (and not subject to any excess emissions 
penalty) for the period beginning on January 1, 2015, and ending on the 
date such an alternate emissions limitation is implemented.
    ``(B) An owner or operator described in subparagraph (A) shall pay 
an excess emissions penalty, as determined under subsection (e)(2), for 
the period described in such subparagraph, if such owner or operator 
operates or maintains the affected unit, including any associated air 
pollution control equipment, in a manner that is inconsistent with good 
air pollution control practices for the minimization of mercury 
emissions, as determined by the Administrator. In determining whether 
the owner or operator of the affected unit operates and maintains the 
affected unit in a manner that is consistent with good air pollution 
control practices for the minimization of mercury emissions, the 
Administrator may review the emissions monitoring data and operating 
and maintenance procedures of the affected unit and may inspect the 
affected unit.
    ``(4)(A) With respect to any affected unit for which an alternate 
emissions limitation for mercury is in place under this subsection, the 
owner or operator of such affected unit that emits mercury in excess of 
such alternate emissions limitation shall pay an excess emissions 
penalty determined under subparagraph (B).
    ``(B) The excess emissions penalty for mercury for an owner or 
operator of an affected unit described in subparagraph (A) shall be an 
amount equal to $50,000 for each pound of mercury emitted in excess of 
the alternate emissions limitation for mercury in place for such 
affected unit. Such penalty shall be prorated for each fraction of a 
pound.
    ``(g) Sole Limitation on Mercury.--This title shall apply the sole 
emission standard or limitation under this Act with regard to the 
emission of mercury from electric utility steam generating units and 
shall supersede any other such requirement under section 112 or any 
other provision of this Act.
    ``(h) Relationship to Other Law.--Except as otherwise specifically 
provided in this title, nothing in this title precludes a State or 
political subdivision of a State from adopting or enforcing any 
additional requirements for the control or abatement of mercury 
emissions, except that no State or political subdivision thereof shall 
adopt or attempt to enforce any standard relating to the reduction or 
control of mercury emissions from electric utility steam generating 
units that is less stringent than the standards provided in this 
title.''.

Output: Mercury Reduction and Energy Security Act of 2010 - Amends the Clean Air Act to require affected units (coal-fired electric steam generating units that have nameplate capacities greater than 25 megawatts and generate electricity for sale) to reduce mercury emissions by the less stringent limitation of: (1) 80% capture of inlet mercury or an emission rate of 1.6 pounds of mercury per trillion British thermal units (Btu) of input coal for the period beginning on January 1, 2012, and ending December 31, 2014; and (2) 90% capture of inlet mercury or an emission rate of 0.8 pounds of mercury per trillion Btu of input coal by 2015 and each year thereafter.

Specifies methods that owners or operators of affected units are required to use as reference methods in calibrating the instruments used to measure the mercury concentrations in emissions from affected units.

Establishes excess emissions penalties for mercury. Sets forth compliance provisions.

Authorizes: (1) owners or operators of affected units that fail to achieve such limitations to request an alternate emission limitation; (2) the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to establish alternate limitations if the Administrator determines that the owner or operator has properly installed and operated continuous emissions monitoring system and control technology designed to achieve such limitations and is unable to achieve such limitations; and (3) the Administrator, after granting alternate limitations, to impose more stringent emissions limitations in subsequent years. Makes such alternate limitations effective January 1, 2015.

Provides that this Act supersedes any other requirement in such Act with regard to the emission of mercury from electric utility steam generating units.

              SERVICES.

    Section 227 of the Communications Act of 1934 (47 U.S.C. 227) is 
amended--
            (1) by redesignating subsections (e) and (f) as subsections 
        (f) and (g), respectively; and
            (2) by inserting after subsection (d) the following new 
        subsection:
    ``(e) Prohibition on Interference With Caller Identification

        within the United States, in making any telephone 
        solicitation--
                    ``(A) to interfere with or circumvent the 
                capability of a caller identification service to access

                identification service, if such person has capability 
                to provide such information in such a manner.
        For purposes of this section, the use of a telecommunications 
        service or equipment that is incapable of transmitting caller 
        identification information shall not, of itself, constitute 
        interference with or circumvention of the capability of a 
        caller identification service to access or provide such 
        information.
            ``(2) Regulations.--Not later than 6 months after the 
        enactment of the Know Your Caller Act of 2000, the Commission

SEC. 4. STUDY REGARDING TRANSMISSION OF CALLER IDENTIFICATION 
              INFORMATION.

    The Federal Communications Commission shall conduct a study to 
determine--
            (1) the extent of the capability of the public switched 
        network to transmit the information that can be accessed by 
        caller identification services;
            (2) the types of telecommunications equipment being used in 
        the telemarketing industry, the extent of such use, and the 
        capabilities of such types of equipment to transmit the 
        information that can be accessed by caller identification 
        services; and
            (3) the changes to the public switched network and to the 
        types of telecommunications equipment commonly being used in 
        the telemarketing industry that would be necessary to provide 
        for the public switched network to be able to transmit caller 
        identification information on all telephone calls, and the 
        costs (including costs to the telemarketing industry) to 
        implement such changes.
The Commission shall complete the study and submit a report to the 
Congress on the results of the study, not later than one year after the 
date of the enactment of this Act.
