The Department is proposing to repeal 6 NYCRR Part 243, CAIR NOx Ozone Season Trading Program, 6 NYCRR Part 244, CAIR NOx Annual Trading Program, and 6 NYCRR Part 245, CAIR SO2 Trading Program (collectively, the New York State Clean Air Interstate Rules or NYS CAIR) and replace them with three new rules, 6 NYCRR Part 243, Transport Rule NOx Ozone Season Trading Program, 6 NYCRR Part 244, Transport Rule NOx Annual Trading Program, and 6 NYCRR Part 245, Transport Rule SO2 Trading Program. These proposed rules incorporate the United States Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) federal Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) and allow the Department to allocate CSAPR allowances to regulated entities in New York.
Written comments on this proposed rulemaking will be accepted through 5:00 p.m., October 26, 2015.
