| E9-13860 | Rulemaking To Reaffirm the Promulgation of Revisions of the Acid Rain Program Rules | Rule | In this action, EPA is reaffirming the promulgation of certain revisions of the Acid Rain Program rules. These revisions have been in effect since mid-2006. Most of them are crucial to the ongoing operation of the Acid Rain Program, and the rest of them streamline and clarify requirements of the program, which has achieved significant, cost-effective reductions in sulfur dioxide (SO<INF>2</INF>) emissions from utility sources since its commencement in 1995. These rule revisions were finalized in the Federal Register notices that also finalized the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) and the final Federal Implementation Plans for CAIR (CAIR FIPs). On July 11, 2008, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued a decision vacating and remanding CAIR and the CAIR FIPs. On December 23, 2008, in response to petitions for rehearing, the Court modified its July 11, 2008 decision and remanded CAIR and the CAIR FIPs but without a vacatur. These revisions to the Acid Rain Program rules were not addressed by, or involved in any of the issues raised by, any parties in the proceeding or the Court. EPA believes it is reasonable to view these revisions as unaffected by the Court's decision. However, EPA is treating the Court's remand as covering these revisions and, in response to the remand, is finalizing the rule reaffirming--pursuant to its authority under Title IV of the Clean Air Act (CAA) and CAA section 301--the promulgation of these revisions on their merits and in order to remove any uncertainty about their regulatory status. With this action, the existing Acid Rain regulations continue in effect, and the Acid Rain Program continues to operate, unchanged and uninterrupted. | 2009-06-12 | 2009 | 6 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/06/12/E9-13860/rulemaking-to-reaffirm-the-promulgation-of-revisions-of-the-acid-rain-program-rules | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-06-12/pdf/E9-13860.pdf | Environmental Protection Agency | 145 | In this action, EPA is reaffirming the promulgation of certain revisions of the Acid Rain Program rules.
