The United States (U.S.) Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) implemented a final Rule to add the States
of Delaware and New Jersey to the States that are subject to the
Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) because of their PM2.5 impact on
other States and to require that Delaware and New Jersey report all
of the emissions related data required by CAIR. (Delaware and New
Jersey are already affected by ozone-related requirements in CAIR.)
These emissions data reporting requirements include reporting
requirements and combine these requirements with existing
requirements from the Consolidated Emissions Reporting Rule (CERR),
the Emission Reporting Requirements for Ozone State Implementation
Plan (SIP) Revisions Relating to Statewide Budgets for NOX
Emissions to Reduce Regional Transport of Ozone (NOX SIP Call), the
Acid Rain Program under Title IV of the CAA Amendments of 1990, and
the Rule to Reduce Interstate Transport of Fine Particulate Matter
and Ozone (Clean Air Interstate Rule, CAIR).
