EPA Requests Comment on Proposal to
Replace the Clean Power Plan
Dear Mandy,
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is seeking comment on its recently announced proposal for replacement of the Clean Power Plan (CPP) for greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) from existing electric generating units (EGUs). The deadline for submitting comments on the proposed regulation is October 30, 2018.
EPA proposes three distinct actions:
First, EPA is proposing to replace the CPP with revised emissions guidelines
(the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule) that inform the development, submittal,
and implementation of state plans to reduce GHG emission from certain EGUs. In the
proposed emissions guidelines, consistent with the interpretation described in the
proposed repeal of the CPP, the Agency is proposing to determine that heat rate
improvement (HRI) measures are the best system of emission reduction (BSER) for
existing coal-fired EGUs.
Second, EPA is proposing new regulations that provide direction to both EPA
and the states on the implementation of emission guidelines. The new proposed
implementing regulations would apply to this action and any future emission guideline
issued under section 111(d) of the Clean Air Act (CAA).
Third, the Agency is proposing revisions to the New Source Review (NSR)
program that will help prevent NSR from being a barrier to the implementation of
efficiency projects at EGUs.
Comments should be identified by Docket number EPA--HQ--OAR-2017-0355 and submitted online at https://www.regulations.gov/.
In addition, EPA is planning to hold at least one public hearing on this proposal and has not yet published information about the hearing.
Regards,
Betsy Monseu, CEO American Coal Council
