Hot Topics in Climate Change Regulations
Overview:
Following the Supreme Court’s decision in Massachusetts v. EPA and with the prospects for a comprehensive climate bill waning in the 111th Congress, EPA continued taking steps toward greenhouse gas (GHG) regulation under the Clean Air Act and is now poised, along with the states, to begin GHG permitting January 2, 2011. Democrats held Congressional preemption of EPA regulation at bay in 2010, but the recent mid-term elections may have changed the tide. Newly elected Republicans have threatened to block the EPA’s ability to regulate GHGs under the Clean Air Act. Democrats have vowed to fight on. With compliance dates on the immediate horizon, how is all this going to play out?
This LIVE Knowledge Group webcast will zero in on the most critical aspects of climate change including:
- Up to the minute legislative and regulatory updates
- What effect has the mid-term election had on prospects for preemption or delay of EPA regulation of GHG under the Clean Air Act?
- Will pending litigation challenging EPA’s endangerment finding and regulation halt GHG regulation under the CAA?
- What does EPA’s BACT (Best Achievable Control Technology) Guidance for GHG permitting portend for regulated industries?
- Are EPA and the States ready to implement GHG permitting under the Clean Air Act?
- The Crystal Ball – how this might all this play out
