About this event
EPA will hold a virtual public hearing on February 24, 2022, to provide the public the opportunity to present comments and information on the Agency’s proposed Federal Implementation Plan (FIP) requirements to address twenty-six states’ obligations to eliminate significant contribution to nonattainment, or interference with maintenance, of the 2015 ozone National Ambient Air Quality Standard(NAAQS) in other states.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing this action under the “good neighbor” or “interstate transport” provision of the Clean Air Act (CAA or Act). The Agency proposes establishing nitrogen oxides emissions budgets requiring fossil fuel-fired power plants in 25 states to participate in an allowance-based ozone season trading program beginning in 2023. The Agency is also proposing to establish nitrogen oxides emissions limitations applicable to certain other industrial stationary sources in 23 states with an earliest possible compliance date of 2026.
