Clarified EPA & State Roles

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

  • ACE Rule rebalances state and federal roles in

developing and implementing rules under Clean Air Act

  • EPA determines the best system of emission reduction

(BSER) Technology and practices

  • States establish standards of performance based on

application of the BSER

Benefits of the Rule

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency

  • ACE regulatory impact analysis (RIA) includes:
  • Three replacement scenarios and one repeal
  • Each show future CO2 emissions below current levels
  • EPA projects replacing the CPP with the ACE rule could

result in $3.4 billion in net benefits, including $400 million annually.
