Description (excerpt):

EPA finalized the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR) under the “good neighbor” provision of the Clean Air Act to reduce transported pollution that significantly affects downwind nonattainment and maintenance problems.

• CSAPR will reduce emissions of SO2 and NOX from power plants in the eastern half of the United States.

• The rule will reduce fine particle and ozone air pollution, saving lives, preventing illnesses, creating jobs, and protecting communities
