Implementation Strategy
For The Clean Air Act
Amendments Of 1990
Update, May 1994
INTRODUCTION
This is the fourth in a series of Implementation Strat-
egy documents issued to inform Congress and the
public on the status of activities implementing the Clean
Air Act Amendments of 1990. The paragraphs immedi-
ately following present highlights of the past year's
activities, as well as a summary of achievements to date.
The remainder of the document consists of a cumulative
list of significant actions already taken to carry out the
1990 Amendments, as well as a two-year projection of
future activities.
An overarching Clean Air Act goal of this Administra-
tion is to restore the confidence of key constituencies-
including Congress, business, state and local governments,
and environmental and health advocatesin EPA's com-
mitment and competence to carry out the mandates of the
Act. To accomplish this, we are streamlining our internal
processes and working with OMB to cut lag times and
meet deadlines for regulations, reports, and State Imple-
mentation Plan (SIP) approvals. We recently announced a
reform of EPA's rule development system which is ex-
pected to achieve substantial reductions in the time it
takes to move a rule through EPA, and we have negoti-
ated with OMB to obtain review exemptions for a substan-
tial percentage of our rulesabout 30 percent have been
exempted to date, and we expect this to increase as we
both become more comfortable with the exemption process.
The combined effect of these reforms will greatly help us
meet our deadlines.
HIGHLIGHTS OF THE PAST YEAR
The past year has been notable for EPA achievements
in breaking the gridlock on proposing or finalizing a
number of challenging and important Clean Air Act rules.
Among the highlights of the year's activities are the
following:
Attainment of Air Quality Standards
The Clean Air Act is working to bring cleaner air to our"
nation's cities. Air quality data for 1992 show that 46 of
the 98 ozone areas and 21 of 41 carbon monoxide areas
originally designated as "non-attainment areas" after the
1990 Amendments were signed into law now have air
quality in line with national health standards. Many are
now going through the process of meeting the Act's
requirements for being redesignated as meeting the
standards. Of the ozone areas, 25 have formally submit-
ted requests, and four areas already have been
redesignated.
Final rules were published requiring that Federally-
approved development activities help to achieve air-quality
goals by conforming to requirements of the Clean Air Act;
consensus on these highly controversial rules was reached^
via an unprecedented consultation process among Federe
agencies and air-quality officials.
Air Toxics Control
A final rule was issued controlling toxic air emissions
from chemical plants, reducing toxic emissions by one
billion pounds annually. Final rules were also issued for
steel industry coke ovens and dry cleaners.
Rules were proposed for controlling toxic air emissions
from seven more industry categories: commercial steriliz-
ers, magnetic tape coating operations, gasoline marketing,
chromium electroplating, pulp and paper production,
industrial cooling towers, and degreasing operations.
A comprehensive study of air toxics from automobiles
was published, which will be used to assess the need for
future controls.
Contra/ of Emissions from Vehicles and Fuels
Final rules were published on reformulated gasoline and
emission standards for heavy-duty non-road engines.
Final standards were published to reduce particulates
from urban buses by over 90 percent.
A final rule was published controlling emissions from
automobile refueling via onboard vapor recovery, breaking
years of gridlocked debate on this issue.
Protection of Stratospheric Ozone
A number of final rules protecting stratospheric ozone
were published, most notably the rule accelerating to 1995
the phaseout of the most harmful ozone-depleting sub-
-------
stances, including CFCs. Other rules include a refrigerant
recovery rule, a ban on nonessential products, a require-
ment to label products made with ozone-harming sub-
stances, and rules promoting safe substitutes for these
substances and requiring Federal agencies to avoid procur-
ing ozone-depleting substances.
Late this spring, a joint EPA-National Weather Service
project will begin producing daily forecasts of ultraviolet
radiation for several U.S. cities. Television weather
forecasters are expected begin advising the public each
night if extra care should be taken the next day to limit
exposure to the sun ~ for example, by applying sunscreen
or wearing sunglasses.
NOx Control to Prevent Acid Rain and Smog
A final rule was published controlling powerplant NOx
emissions as part of the acid rain program. Several
alternative control technology documents for NOx control
also were published.
Enforcement
A proposed rule was published establishing an enhanced
emissions monitoring program for all major sources
covered by the Clean Air Act.
* EPA levied the largest penalty ever under the Clean Air
Act ($11.1 million) against the Louisiana-Pacific Corpora-
tion for failure to comply with permitting procedures
under the Act. The settlement requires state-of-the-art
control equipment which will reduce emissions of particu-
lates, carbon monoxide and volatile organic compounds by
more than 20,000 tons per year.
Rules were proposed to provide monetary awards to
citizens who uncover violations of the Clean Air Act, and
to allow Federal inspectors to issue on-the-spot notices of
violation for non-compliance with Federal rules.
Economic Incentives
A final rule was published promoting and providing
guidelines for the use of economic incentives in Clean Air
Act programs.
Two major elements of the market-based emissions
trading system for the acid rain control program - the
allowance tracking system and the allowance allocations
rule were put in place. The innovative system of
marketable allowances is expected to cut cleanup cost by
half compared to a comparable non-market program.
In addition to these rulemaking highlights, a large
number of important supporting actions were taken,
including publishing of several kinds of guidance docu-
ments for use by the States, and approving/disapproving
submittals of State plans to achieve air quality standards.
Many of these activities are listed in the cumulative
schedule presented later in this report.
SUMMARY OF ACHIEVEMENTS
SINCE ENACTMENT
Both in terms of emission reductions and number of
rulemakings, EPA has now completed a large portion
of the rulemaking actions set out by Congress in the 1990
Amendments. As of the end of March, over 200 actions
have been published in the Federal Register113 rules
have been proposed, and 88 of these have been completed.
The rules already completed will control emissions from
the most important air pollution sources, and account for
more than 90 percent of the 57 billion pounds of emissions
reductions expected from the 1990 Amendments. The
remainder of the rules already proposed and under devel-
opment, when completed, will account for much of the
remainder. A summary of the most important of these
rulemakings follows.
Preventing Acid Rain
We have nearly completed rules implementing the Acid
Rain Program, an innovative market-based program to
protect our lakes, streams and other resources from acid-
rain-causing sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions.
Protecting the Ozone Layer
We have issued all of the major rules needed to imple-
ment the CAA's program for protecting the stratospheric
ozone layer. The rules require a gradual phase-out of the
production of ozone-depleting chemicals, the labeling of
products containing or manufactured with ozone-depleting
chemicals, and the recycling of ozone-depleting compounds.
These rules, in combination with international restric-
tions, are expected to halt erosion of the ozone layer.
International agreements to phase out ozone-depleting
chemicals, in which the United States played a leading
role, already have slowed the rate of increase of CFG
concentrations in the stratosphere. Ozone concentrations
are expected to recover eventually to levels observed prior
to 1985 if these measures continue to be implemented.
Cleaning up Fuels and Vehicles
' We have issued 15 major final or proposed rules that will
cut motor vehicle emissions and help to bring clean air to
our nation's cities. Among these are final rules on tier I
tailpipe standards, on-board diagnostic devices, evaporative
emissions controls, cold-start carbon monoxide standards,
reformulated gasoline, heavy-duty non-road engine stan-
dards, clean fuel fleet programs, urban bus standards, and
on-board vapor recovery.
Controlling Air Toxics
We have laid the foundation for cutting toxic emissions
from all major pollution sources by issuing several critical
rules and beginning to move large numbers of additional
rules through the regulatory pipeline. In addition to the
aforementioned final rules for the chemical industry, coke

ovens, and dry cleaners, air-toxics rulemakings for about
40 source categories are now in progress. Most of these
efforts have moved forward quickly since January 1993.
Several rules have been proposed recently, and many
more are to be proposed during the next two years.
While moving forward with standards, EPA has also
established the groundwork for the air toxics program by
issuing essential program infrastructure rules ~ for
example, general provisions for monitoring and other
"housekeeping" requirements that will apply to all regu-
lated industries, and rules for delegating the air toxics
program to the states.
Protecting Urban. Air Quality
We have published extensive guidance to help states
develop and implement plans for bringing urban air
quality into line with federal standards by deadlines
established in the Act.
We have issued guidance and regulations for state
operating permit programs which will improve administra-
tion and enforcement of CAA requirements.
NEW DIRECTIONS IN
IMPLEMENTATION
Although EPA has made great progress in carrying out
the Clean Air Act, the success of the Act is far from
guaranteed. Much remains to be done if the Act's health
and environmental goals are to be achieved. EPA must
issue over a hundred more regulations and guidance
documents, as well as dozens of mandated studies and
reports. The largest group of remaining rulemakings will
be those controlling air-toxics emissions. Other significant
future rulemakings will include emissions standards for
non-road engines, standards for municipal and medical
waste combustion, enhanced emissions monitoring, Federal
operating permits, and new-source review reform.
The Agency also must accelerate and expand a host of
activities to ensure that EPA and states are implementing
and enforcing the Act effectively. For example, EPA must
assess hundreds of state implementation plan revisions, as
well as 120 state and local permit programs, and provide
technical assistance to states and sources. The list of
significant actions following this section lists most of the
significant actions expected within the next two years.
Because EPA has completed many key rules and guid-
ance documents, the responsibility for implementation of
the 1990 Amendments is shifting increasingly to state and
local governments. Effective implementation at the state
and local level is critical to the success of the Act. This
Administration is aware of how important it is to get the
Federal framework right, and to provide the right kind of
guidance and support to state and local agencies. We also
understand the importance of timeliness: the gridlock of
the past has already delayed key Federal elements far too
long. Over the past year, we have broken the regulatory
gridlock in a number of areas critical to providing states
the necessary support, and we intend to do an even better
job in the future, so that states and industries will have
the information they need, when they need it, to plan for
compliance in the most effective way.
One key element the states need in crafting effective,
efficient compliance program is the flexibility to use
economic incentives in ways that reduce costs while
assuring that the environmental goals are met. One of
the principal themes of this Administration is that a
healthy environment and a strong economy are not only
compatible but essential to each other, and that the
appropriate use of economic incentives can enhance this
compatibility by providing flexibility and incentives for
technological innovation. We recently took a large step in
this direction by finalizing the economic incentives rule,
which shows states and industries how to use incentive-
based approaches that encourage advanced technologies
that both save money and make it possible to get more
environmental results. We also worked closely with the
California South Coast Air Quality Management District
to establish an innovative NOx trading program for smog
control; this program is being closely watched as a pos-
sible model for other areas. We intend to continue mak-
ing the use of such approaches a centrally important tool
in helping the states plan for meeting the ambitious goals
of the Clean Air Act. We believe that the combination of
flexibility and timeliness of Federal support will prove to
be the twin keys to success as the implementation of the
Clean Air Act enters this next, critical stage.
