we submit these comments on the Environmental Protection Agency’s recent proposal (1) to exempt states subject to the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (“CSAPR” or the “Transport Rule”) from applying source-specific Best Available Retrofit Technology (“BART”) requirements under the Clean Air Act’s regional haze program; and (2) to disapprove in part the regional haze State Implementation Plans (“SIPs”) submitted by Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, and Texas to the extent those SIPs relied on CAIR, and adopt Federal Implementation Plans (“FIPs”) for those states, replacing reliance on CAIR with CSAPR.
