Summary:

Provides background on Bush Administration clean air interstate rule (CAIR), to establish a regional cap-and-trade program for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from electric generating units in 28 eastern States and D.C. Discusses U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit ruling in >North Carolina v. EPA</EMPHASIS>, which vacated CAIR; and reviews impact of this decision on communities attempting to achieve National Ambient Air Quality Standards as well as its impact on mercury emissions. Reviews EPA-proposed clean air transport rule to replace second phase of CAIR with new limits going into effect before CAIR would have. Examines related issues.
