Based on the best available science that we have studied to date, EPA has a proposal for public comment that aims to protect public health and improve air quality while recognizing that the science of particulate matter continues to evolve and contains uncertainties on many levels. |
Clear Skies delivers dramatic health benefits across the nation without raising energy costs and does it with certainty and simplicity, instead of regulation and litigation. Because of our commitment to see this become a reality, EPA went above and beyond to provide the most comprehensive legislative analysis of air ever prepared by the agency, so it does a real disservice to this discussion to have a report that largely ignores and misinterprets our analysis. |
Determining actual risks is complicated and time consuming to perform, which is why RSEI was developed as a risk-screening and priority-setting tool, and it should not be used to make determinations of actual risk. |
EPA believes its cap-and-trade rule is the best approach to protect public health by reducing mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants while maintaining fuel diversity and energy security, |

EPA's proposal would collect 99 percent of the same data and allow small businesses to meet their reporting obligations to EPA in a more streamlined way. |
EPA's proposal would create incentive to accelerate environmental protection and improve public health while maintaining competitiveness for small businesses by setting a very high environmental bar. That is, if they significantly reduce pollution going into the environment from their facilities, they can reduce red tape and paperwork by using a more streamlined reporting form. |
especially in the context of improvements that would increase domestic refinery capacity, a pressing matter. |
Even one child impacted by lead is one child too many, which is why we are working on the rule to ensure that children will not be exposed to unsafe levels of lead when their homes are being renovated, |

For a smooth transition to the more protective ozone standards, it is essential that state and local governments work to meet one standard without losing progress. Asking states to meet two standards at once defies common sense and risks confusion and backsliding. |
