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. For further details on the model rule and OWBs visit
