NESCAUM MODEL RULE |
The Northeast States for Coordinated Air Use Management (NESCAUM)
developed a Model Rule
that can be used by states as a template when developing OWB rules individualized
to their own state. The NESCAUM model rule process has proceeded in tandem
with the EPA voluntary program, including holding joint meetings with the
all the various stakeholders. The model rule, includes, among other things,
a phase I standard of 0.44 lb/mmBTU input, a phase II standard of 0.32 lb/mmBTU
on an output basis, a certification process, labeling requirements and optional
provisions to regulate existing OWBs. The final model rule was announced
on January 29, 2007 but implementation will be accomplished by individual
states that develop rules through their own state rule adoption processes.
