The principal statute addressing air quality concerns, the Clean
Air Act was first enacted in 1955, with major revisions in 1970,
1977, and 1990 and is addressed in the first part of this book.
Congressional actions on air quality issues have been dominated
since 2011 by efforts particularly in the Houseto change the
Environmental Protection Agencys (EPAs) authority to promulgate or
implement new emission control requirements. EPAs regulations on
greenhouse gas emissions from electric power plants and from oil
and gas industry sources have been of particular interest, as have
the agencys efforts to revise ambient air quality standards for
ozone. The 115th Congress and the Trump Administration are
reviewing some of these regulations, with the possibility of their
modification or repeal. On October 23, 2015, the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA) published its final Clean Power Plan rule
(Rule) to regulate emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs),
specifically carbon dioxide (CO2), from existing fossil fuel-fired
power plants. The aim of the Rule, according to EPA, is to help
protect human health and the environment from the impacts of
climate change. The Clean Power Plan would require states to submit
plans to achieve state-specific CO2 goals reflecting emission
performance rates or emission levels for predominantly coal- and
gas-fired power plants, with a series of interim goals culminating
in final goals by 2030.
