| 04-2152 | Public Hearings for Rule To Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone (Interstate Air Quality Rule) and Proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; and, in the Alternative, Proposed Standards of Performance for New and Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Steam Generating Units | Proposed Rule | The EPA is announcing three public hearings to be held jointly for two related proposals that were published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2004. The hearings are for the proposed "Rule to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter and Ozone (Interstate Air Quality Rule)" and the "Proposed National Emission Standards for Hazardous Air Pollutants; and, in the Alternative, Proposed Standards of Performance for New and Existing Stationary Sources: Electric Utility Steam Generating Units," which is also known as the proposed Utility Mercury Reductions Rule. The hearings will be held concurrently in Chicago, Illinois; Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; and Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Each hearing will last two days and is scheduled for February 25 and 26, 2004. Persons wishing to present oral testimony for one or both proposals may speak on either day. Details of the facility sites for the hearings and the starting and ending times will be provided on the web sites for the rulemakings identified under ADDRESSES as soon as the information is available. The EPA's proposed Interstate Air Quality Rule would reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxides in 29 eastern States and the District of Columbia that are significantly contributing to fine particulate matter and 8-hour ozone nonattainment problems in downwind States. Each State would be required to adopt control measures to meet specific statewide emission reduction requirements. The EPA believes that the most cost-effective way for States to achieve the required reductions would be to regulate utilities under a cap-and- trade program similar to EPA's highly successful Acid Rain Program. The proposed Utility Mercury Reductions Rule provides options that would reduce mercury emissions and would set a mandatory, declining cap on the total mercury emissions allowed from utilities nationwide. The proposal also would reduce nickel emissions from utilities. The EPA is coordinating these rulemakings to allow the emissions reductions to be achieved in the most cost-effective manner by sources affected by both actions. | 2004-02-02 | 2004 | 2 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2004/02/02/04-2152/public-hearings-for-rule-to-reduce-interstate-transport-of-fine-particulate-matter-and-ozone | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2004-02-02/pdf/04-2152.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | The EPA is announcing three public hearings to be held jointly for two related proposals that were published in the Federal Register on January 30, 2004.
