The EPA is proposing revisions to rules that pertain to the regional haze program. In this action, the EPA is proposing that the trading program in the recently promulgated Transport Rule, also known as the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, achieves greater reasonable progress towards the national goal of achieving natural visibility conditions in Class I areas than source-specific Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) in those states covered by the Transport Rule. In this action, the EPA is also proposing a limited disapproval of the regional haze State Implementation Plans (SIPs) that have been submitted by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas. These states relied on requirements of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) to satisfy certain regional haze requirements. To address deficiencies in all of the CAIR-dependent regional haze SIPs, in this action, the EPA is proposing Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) to replace reliance on the CAIR requirements in these SIPs with reliance on the Transport Rule as an alternative to BART. States are encouraged, at any time, to submit a revision to their regional haze SIP incorporating the requirements of the Transport Rule at which time we will withdraw the FIP being proposed in this action.

The EPA is proposing revisions to rules that pertain to the regional haze program. In this action, the EPA is proposing that the trading program in the recently promulgated Transport Rule, also known as the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule, achieves greater reasonable progress towards the national goal of achieving natural visibility conditions in Class I areas than source-specific Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) in those states covered by the Transport Rule. In this action, the EPA is also proposing a limited disapproval of the regional haze State Implementation Plans (SIPs) that have been submitted by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina and Texas. These states relied on requirements of the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) to satisfy certain regional haze requirements. To address deficiencies in all of the CAIR-dependent regional haze SIPs, in this action, the EPA is proposing Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) to replace reliance on the CAIR requirements in these SIPs with reliance on the Transport Rule as an alternative to BART. States are encouraged, at any time, to submit a revision to their regional haze SIP incorporating the requirements of the Transport Rule at which time we will withdraw the FIP being proposed in this action.
