Please accept these 13,853 public comments from members and online activists of the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) asking you to adopt the strongest possible "Good Neighbor Rule" to reduce power plant and industrial pollution that crosses state lines, and secure clean air across the U.S. Nearly half of the U.S. population breathes unhealthy air every day. Communities of color and low-income communities are disproportionately impacted. And pollution from power plants and other industrial sources are major culprits. This pollution can often travel downwind to neighboring states and impact folks living miles away. The administration's proposed "Good Neighbor Rule" would rein in cross-state pollution and hold those polluters accountable. I urge you to move forward with the strongest-possible version of this proposal. Thank you!

Abstract

This action would apply in certain states for which EPA has either disapproved a “good neighbor” state implementation plan (SIP) submission under CAA section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)(I) or has made a finding of failure to submit such a SIP submission for the 2015 ozone NAAQS. This action would determine whether and to what extent ozone-precursor emissions reductions are required to eliminate significant contribution or interference with maintenance from upwind states that are linked to air quality problems in other states for the 2015 8-hour ozone NAAQS. For states that EPA determines to be linked to a downwind nonattainment or maintenance receptor, EPA would conduct further analysis consistent with the four-step interstate transport framework to determine what (if any) additional emissions controls are required in such states and develop an enforceable program for implementation of such controls.
