Environmental Protection Agency
In this action, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is establishing final emission guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units (EGUs). Specifically, the EPA is establishing: Carbon dioxide (CO<INF>2</INF>) emission performance rates representing the best system of emission reduction (BSER) for two subcategories of existing fossil fuel-fired EGUs--fossil fuel-fired electric utility steam generating units and stationary combustion turbines; state-specific CO<INF>2</INF> goals reflecting the CO<INF>2</INF> emission performance rates; and guidelines for the development, submittal and implementation of state plans that establish emission standards or other measures to implement the CO<INF>2</INF> emission performance rates, which may be accomplished by meeting the state goals. This final rule will continue progress already underway in the U.S. to reduce CO<INF>2</INF> emissions from the utility power sector.

Environmental Protection Agency 40 CFR Part 60 [EPA-HQ-OAR-2013-0602; FRL-9930-65-OAR] RIN 2060-AR33 AGENCY: Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). ACTION: Final rule. SUMMARY: In this action, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is establishing final emission guidelines for states to follow in developing plans to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units (EGUs). Specifically, the EPA is establishing: Carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emission performance rates representing the best system of emission reduction (BSER) for two subcategories of existing fossil fuel-fired EGUs—fossil fuel-fired electric utility steam generating units and stationary combustion turbines; state-specific CO 2 goals reflecting the CO 2 emission performance rates; and guidelines for the development, submittal and implementation of state plans that establish emission standards or other measures to implement the CO 2 emission performance rates, which may be accomplished by meeting the state goals. This final rule will continue progress already underway in the U.S. to reduce CO 2 emissions from the utility power sector. DATES: This final rule is effective on December 22, 2015.
