In the News: Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) The United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit issued its ruling to stay the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) pending judicial review. While this decision will delay implementation of the CSAPR, it will also leave the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) in place while the Court considers the merits of the challenges to the CSAPR. All the requirements in CAIR, the CAIR Federal Implementation Plans (FIPs) and EPA-approved CAIR State Implementation Plans (SIPs) are federally enforceable and all sources that are covered by the three CAIR trading programs - the ozone-season NOx trading program, the annual NOx trading program, and the annual SO2 trading program - must continue to comply with the requirements of those programs. EPA is working to ensure the transition back to CAIR occurs as seamlessly as possible and will reinstate CAIR allowances the week of January 9, 2012. EPA proposes reconsiderations for boilers and incinerators, and proposes revisions to the non-hazardous secondary materials rule December 2, 2011 - EPA issued proposed reconsiderations for rules to reduce emissions of air pollutants from existing and new Boilers and major and area source facilities, and from Commercial and Industrial Solid Waste Incinerators (CISWI). EPA also proposed revisions to the Non-Hazardous Secondary Material (NHSM) Rule. The proposed rules were published in the Federal Register on Friday, December 23, 2011.
