Book excerpt: Although addressing greenhouse gases is a leading priority of the President and many members of Congress, the ability to limit these emissions already exists under Clean Air Act authorities that Congress has enacted. In response to the Supreme Court decision, EPA has begun the process of using this existing authority, issuing an "endangerment finding" for greenhouse gases and proposing greenhouse gas (GHG) regulations for new motor vehicles. This book reviews the various options that the EPA could exercise to control GHG emissions from stationary sources under the Act.

Book excerpt: The authorities and responsibilities of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) derive primarily from a dozen major environmental statutes. This book provides a concise summary of one of those statutes, the Clean Air Act. It provides a brief history of federal involvement in air quality regulation and of the provisions added by legislation in 1970, 1977 and 1990. It also explains major authorities contained in the Act as well as key terms and references for more detailed information on the Act and its implementation.
Download or read book The Once and Future Clean Air Act written by Nicholas Bryner and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clean Air Act is one of Congress' greatest success stories--a major piece of legislation, passed in the context of environmental and public health crises, that has driven technological change through regulation that has dramatically improved air quality even in a prolonged period of economic growth. However, in the context of climate change, despite many efforts since the 1990s, the Clean Air Act has not proven to be a successful legislative tool, due to complex obstacles in the statutory language and a trend in Supreme Court jurisprudence--leading up to and including the June 2022 decision in West Virginia v. EPA--that is skeptical of administrative agency authority.Then, in August 2022, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) broke through the congressional logjam. The IRA is the most significant piece of climate legislation in U.S. history, with a commitment of $369 billion in spending on energy security and climate change programs over the next decade. Research groups have estimated that the Act will result in major reductions in U.S. greenhouse gas emissions--nearly 40 percent below 2005 levels. The IRA is spending bill, not a regulatory one, reflecting a highly constrained legislative environment in which filibuster rules and partisan intransigence mean that policy-by-spending is the only feasible option, not only for environmental issues but a broad range of social programs and priorities. Yet the IRA--despite these characteristics and the legislative and judicial context--will have important regulatory consequences.The Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) statutory authority to set strict standards that are, in part, based on a determination of what clean technologies are already available--through the “adequately demonstrated” standard in Section 111 and other requirements to balance environmental benefits with cost and/or technological feasibility. As the IRA works to lower costs and increase the market share of clean energy technologies, EPA will, by the end of the 2020s, be able to promulgate stronger technology-based standards--both more stringent in nature and more legally secure--than would otherwise be the case. Despite the limitations of spending policy, the IRA can play an important role in bringing about an effective energy transition, allowing the EPA to return to the original idea of “technology forcing” in the Clean Air Act and consolidate, through prescriptive regulation, the technological advances ushered in by federal spending programs.
Download or read book Climate Change and the Clean Air Act written by Lisa Heinzerling and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 59 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 2003, the Environmental Protection Agency formally refused to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from automobiles, explaining that it had no authority under the Clean Air Act to undertake such regulation and that it would, in any event, decline to exercise such authority for various policy reasons. In Massachusetts v. EPA, the Supreme Court rejected EPA's decision on both counts. The Court held that the Clean Air Act gives the Environmental Protection Agency the authority to regulate greenhouse gases and it narrowly circumscribed the circumstances under which the agency could refuse to decide whether greenhouse gases may endanger public health or welfare. This Article, written before the Supreme Court's decision was announced and based on the author's briefs for petitioners in the case, examines in detail the reasons why EPA's views on statutory authority and discretion were incorrect.

Download or read book Air Quality Management in the United States written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2004-08-30 with total page 426 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Managing the nation's air quality is a complex undertaking, involving tens of thousands of people in regulating thousands of pollution sources. The authors identify what has worked and what has not, and they offer wide-ranging recommendations for setting future priorities, making difficult choices, and increasing innovation. This new book explores how to better integrate scientific advances and new technologies into the air quality management system. The volume reviews the three-decade history of governmental efforts toward cleaner air, discussing how air quality standards are set and results measured, the design and implementation of control strategies, regulatory processes and procedures, special issues with mobile pollution sources, and more. The book looks at efforts to spur social and behavioral changes that affect air quality, the effectiveness of market-based instruments for air quality regulation, and many other aspects of the issue. Rich in technical detail, this book will be of interest to all those engaged in air quality management: scientists, engineers, industrial managers, law makers, regulators, health officials, clean-air advocates, and concerned citizens.

This book was released on 2018-07-19 with total page 602 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources - Electric Utility Generating Units (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) The Law Library presents the complete text of the Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources - Electric Utility Generating Units (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition). Updated as of May 29, 2018 In this action, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is establishing final emission guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units (EGUs). Specifically, the EPA is establishing: Carbon dioxide (CO 2) emission performance rates representing the best system of emission reduction (BSER) for two subcategories of existing fossil fuel-fired EGUs-fossil fuel-fired electric utility steam generating units and stationary combustion turbines; state-specific CO 2 goals reflecting the CO 2 emission performance rates; and guidelines for the development, submittal and implementation of state plans that establish emission standards or other measures to implement the CO 2 emission performance rates, which may be accomplished by meeting the state goals. This final rule will continue progress already underway in the U.S. to reduce CO 2 emissions from the utility power sector. This book contains: - The complete text of the Carbon Pollution Emission Guidelines for Existing Stationary Sources - Electric Utility Generating Units (US Environmental Protection Agency Regulation) (EPA) (2018 Edition) - A table of contents with the page number of each section
