U.S. EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Tailoring Rule, finalized in May, 2010, requires that facilities with certain greenhouse gas emissions must be permitted under the Clean Air Act by January, 2011. Covered facilities include power plants, industrial boilers, and oil refineries. U.S. EPA’s proposed rules are meant to fill the gap as some states will not be able to revise their State Implementation Plans in time to cover these emissions. U.S. EPA has proposed a Federal Implementation Plan whereby the permits would be issued by U.S. EPA.
