Ideas on How to Establish Emission Guidelines

Hear an overview of the various comments EPA received responding to its CPP advanced notice of proposed rule making, as well as a discussion on potential ways EPA could set the BSER.
April 10, 2018

2 – 3:30 p.m. Eastern

This event is free of charge and open only to APPA utility members and their legal counsels.

Webinar Description 

The Environmental Protection Agency has signed its intent to replace the Clean Power Plan (CPP), with a narrower rule, interpreting the “best system of emission reduction” as measures that can be applied directly to a source. In preparation for a new rule EPA sought input on how to establish the BSER, compliance measures and state planning requirements.

Join this webinar to hear an overview of the various comments EPA received responding to its CPP advanced notice of proposed rule making, as well as a discussion on potential ways EPA could set the BSER (i.e., menu and historical emissions approach).

Who Should Participate

This webinar is designed for regulatory affairs, legal, policy staff, as well as other interested or tacking environmental policy. This event is only open to APPA utility members and their legal counsels.
