Identification of Nonattainment Classification and Deadlines for Submission of State Implementation Plan Provisions, etc. (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Identification of Nonattainment Classification and Deadlines for Submission of State Implementation Plan Provisions, etc. (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 On January 4, 2013, in Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) v. EPA, the D.C. Circuit Court remanded to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) the "Final Clean Air Fine Particle Implementation Rule" (April 25, 2007) (the "2007 PM 2.5 Implementation Rule") and the "Implementation of the New Source Review (NSR) Program for Particulate Matter Less than 2.5 Micrometers (PM 2.5)" final rule (May 16, 2008) (the "2008 PM 2.5 NSR Rule"). The Court found that the EPA erred in implementing the 1997 PM 2.5 National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) pursuant solely to the general implementation provisions of subpart 1 of Part D of Title I of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act), without also considering the particulate matter-specific provisions of subpart 4 of Part D. The Court's ruling remanded the rules to the EPA to address implementation of the 1997 PM 2.5 NAAQS under subpart 4. This final rulemaking identifies the classification under subpart 4 for areas currently designated nonattainment for the 1997 and/or 2006 PM 2.5 standards, the deadlines for states to submit attainment-related and nonattainment new source review (NNSR) state implementation plan (SIP) elements required for these areas pursuant to subpart 4, and the EPA guidance that is currently available regarding subpart 4 requirements. The final deadlines for 1997 and 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS attainment-related SIP submissions and NNSR requirements for nonattainment areas would replace previous deadlines that were set solely pursuant to subpart 1. Specifically, the EPA is identifying the initial classification of current 1997 and/or 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS nonattainment areas as "Moderate," and the EPA is setting a deadline of December 31, 2014, for submission of remaining required SIP submissions for these areas, pursuant to and considering the application of subpart 4. This rulemaking affects 1997 and 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS nonattainment areas. After the careful consideration of the comments received on the proposal, the EPA is planning to finalize the rule as it was proposed. As part of the final rulemaking, the EPA is also updating 40 CFR part 81, "Designation of Areas for Air Quality Planning Purposes" for the 1997 and 2006 PM 2.5 NAAQS nonattainment areas.

Download and read online ebook Global Sources of Local Pollution write by National Research Council. This book was released on 2010-02-15. Global Sources of Local Pollution available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Recent advances in air pollution monitoring and modeling capabilities have made it possible to show that air pollution can be transported long distances and that adverse impacts of emitted pollutants cannot be confined to one country or even one continent. Pollutants from traffic, cooking stoves, and factories emitted half a world away can make the air we inhale today more hazardous for our health. The relative importance of this "imported" pollution is likely to increase, as emissions in developing countries grow, and air quality standards in industrial countries are tightened. Global Sources of Local Pollution examines the impact of the long-range transport of four key air pollutants (ozone, particulate matter, mercury, and persistent organic pollutants) on air quality and pollutant deposition in the United States. It also explores the environmental impacts of U.S. emissions on other parts of the world. The book recommends that the United States work with the international community to develop an integrated system for determining pollution sources and impacts and to design effective response strategies. This book will be useful to international, federal, state, and local policy makers responsible for understanding and managing air pollution and its impacts on human health and well-being.

Download and read online ebook Transportation Conformity write by . This book was released on 2017. Transportation Conformity available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Transportation conformity is required under the Clean Air Act (CAA) Section 176(c) to ensure that Federally-supported transportation activities are consistent with (“conform to”) the purpose of a State Implementation Plan (SIP). Transportation conformity establishes the framework for improving air quality to protect public health and the environment. Conformity to the purpose of the SIP means Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding and approvals are given to highway and transit activities that will not cause new air quality violations, worsen existing air quality violations, or delay timely attainment of the relevant air quality standard, or any interim milestone. This Guide was prepared to help State and local officials understand transportation conformity and how conformity requirements relate to transportation investments in their communities. Specifically, the implications of conformity on metropolitan transportation plans, transportation improvement programs (TIPs), and transportation projects are discussed. The Guide provides overview information on the major elements of the conformity process and provides answers to basic questions. Several exhibits are included in the Guide to illustrate key elements of the conformity process. Appendices are also included that discuss the health effects of pollutants, options to reduce on-road mobile source emissions, and resource agency contacts.

Valuing Climate Damages available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. The social cost of carbon (SC-CO2) is an economic metric intended to provide a comprehensive estimate of the net damages - that is, the monetized value of the net impacts, both negative and positive - from the global climate change that results from a small (1-metric ton) increase in carbon-dioxide (CO2) emissions. Under Executive Orders regarding regulatory impact analysis and as required by a court ruling, the U.S. government has since 2008 used estimates of the SC-CO2 in federal rulemakings to value the costs and benefits associated with changes in CO2 emissions. In 2010, the Interagency Working Group on the Social Cost of Greenhouse Gases (IWG) developed a methodology for estimating the SC-CO2 across a range of assumptions about future socioeconomic and physical earth systems. Valuing Climate Changes examines potential approaches, along with their relative merits and challenges, for a comprehensive update to the current methodology. This publication also recommends near- and longer-term research priorities to ensure that the SC- CO2 estimates reflect the best available science.
