Implementation Strategy
For The Clean Air Act
Amendments Of 1990
Update, 1993
INTRODUCTION
The Environmental Protection Agency is
committed to implementing the Clean Air Act
(CAA) Amendments of 1990 in a manner which
will protect health and the environment,
minimize costs, and encourage pollution
prevention and innovative technologies.
The implementation of the Amendments is
based on a two-year strategy developed and
continually updated to inform Congress and the
public on the status of CAA implementation
activities.
Since Congress passed the Amendments,
EPA has issued over 150 proposed and final
rules and guidance documents. When fully
implemented in the year 2005, the CAA will
remove an estimated 57 billion pounds of
pollution from the air. To date EPA has
proposed or promulgated rules that will
account for 85 percent of those 57 billion
pounds. Figure 1 shows emission reductions
addressed to date and the number of actions
included in the revised two-year
implementation strategy.

inventories, ozone non-attainment, and Title V
permits
Other Significant Accomplishments
Enhanced I/M legislation - the following
eleven states have passed enhanced I/M
legislation since January, 1993: Colorado,
Connecticut, Louisiana, Maine, Nevada, New
Hampshire, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island,
Texas, Virginia.
Operating Permits Legislation - 48 states have
enacted operating permits legislation. EPA has
to determine whether all the legislation meets
the standards.
EPA is working with the Small Business
Administration on an MOU implementing
Section 507, the Small Business Assistance
Program.
EPA settled an $11.1 million enforcement
action against Louisiana Pacific Corporation.
This is the largest penalty EPA has collected
ever under the Clean Air Act and the second
largest civil penalty under any environmental
statute. The settlement also resulted in industry
agreement to install new state-of-the-art controls
built by American workers that will result in
-------
about 22,000 tons of reductions of volatile
organic compounds, participate matter, and
carbon monoxide from 11 wood panel facilities
nationwide.
Voluntary Emission Reduction Programs - The
Office of Air and Radiation (OAR) initiated
innovative voluntary programs that reduce
emissions of greenhouse gases, including carbon
dioxide and methane, and other air pollutants.
Three of these non-regulatory "Green Programs"
promote use of energy-efficient lighting,
building energy systems and computers. Other
programs will encourage reduction in emissions
from natural gas transmission and distribution;
assist in the profitable capture of methane from
coal beds during and prior to mining; and
encourage steps to prevent water and air
pollution from feedlot waste stored in lagoons.
In each program, emissions reductions are
achieved through private-public partnerships
with businesses and other organizations. The
Green Programs are an example of how we are
working cooperatively with the private sector to
arrive at economically attractive ways to protect
the environment while improving productivity
and competitiveness.
Market-Based Programs - The Clean Air Act
has stimulated demand for pollution prevention
and control technologies, and in the process has
created new business opportunities and jobs in
the billion-dollar air pollution control industry.
We are working with the Department of
Commerce and the business community to
identify these business opportunities. OAR has
established a database to document the vast
array of technological advances and new
business and export ventures that have arisen
since passage of the Amendments. OAR is also
developing regulations that give sources
flexibility on ways to comply and encourage
prevention and innovative technologies. OAR
will encourage market-based solutions, such as
those that the Congress wrote into the acid rain
provisions of the Clean Air Act. The emissions
trading market under the program is now
developing; we expect this market will provide a
model for future market-based systems.
IMPLEMENTATION GOALS
As we move forward to fulfill our obligations
under the Clean Air Act there are four major
principles that will guide our efforts:
I. Enhance EPA's partnerships to work with
state and local governments.
As more rulemaking occurs, state and local
governments bear ever greater responsibility
for implementing requirements ranging from
the new operating permit program to
enhanced vehicle inspection-and-maintenance
programs. We need to build true
partnerships with state and local
governments.
II. Seek to eliminate the adversarial nature of
the rulemaking and regulatory process.
An important part of public outreach effort is
to encourage consensus through broad public
consultation with outside parties. We must
reach out to all who have an interest in and
are affected by our rules and regulations.
III. Encourage pollution prevention and
innovative technologies for reducing pollution.
Where possible we will encourage solutions
such as our proposed industrial process
cooling tower rule that eliminates chromium
emissions through a change in feedstocks, not
through end-of-pipe controls.
IV. Examine the environmental justice
questions associated with implementing the
Clean Air Act
We will initiate projects to identify and
reduce air pollution that is disproportionately
affecting the poor and people of color.
Earlier in the year OAR held a public meeting
in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, to discuss our
proposed toxic rule on the chemical
manufacturing industry (HON) with the local
communities affected by air pollution and to
provide them with an opportunity to express
their concerns about the proposed rule.
-------
IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGY
The implementation of the CAA is based on a
strategy which outlines the regulatory agenda
that will serve to guide our activities in the most
effective manner for the forthcoming two year
period. The strategy document (Attachment A)
contains a chart showing OAR's schedule for
carrying out the law through December 1995, as
well as those actions already completed.
The chart is reprinted below with changes to
bring it up-to-date. For each entry, the chart
shows the following information:
* whether or not the action has been
completed, and if so, when
* the Agency's current target date for
completion of planned actions
4 the statutory deadline for the action, if
one exists
The chart contains most but not all significant
actions needed to carry out the 1990
Amendments through December 1995. The chart
does not include, for example, some of the
requirements implemented by EPA offices other
than the Office of Air and Radiation, such as the
Office of Research and Development. Target
dates for future actions are subject to change
based on new risk assessments, court decisions,
changes in available resources and other factors.
The remainder of this report will focus on the
Agency's communication/outreach efforts.
OAR OUTREACH TOOLS/PUBLICATIONS
One of OAR's primary goals in implementing
the Clean Air Act is to reach out to all affected
parties and help them understand the
implications of the Amendments. OAR has
developed and distributed a series of learning
tools that can be used to understand the
complexities of the amendments. These include
brochures, citizen guides, slide presentations,
telephone hotlines, interactive computer bulletin
boards, and a number of public service
announcements. A partial list highlighting
current OAR's communication tools follows.
The listing is part of an OAR publication entitled
"OAR Outreach/Communication Tools" which
can be obtained by contacting Jeanette Brandon
at (202) 260-7400.
