The Georgetown Climate Center recently assisted the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in convening one of five “listening sessions” on the design of regulation under the Clean Air Act’s New Source Performance Standards program. The session was intended to assist the EPA in gathering feedback from coalitions like the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative and the Western Climate Initiative, among others.

Executive Director Vicki Arroyo kicked off the session, providing EPA Asst. Administrator Gina McCarthy and staff with comments regarding incorporating state approaches into a federal program. For more information about the sessions, click here to visit the EPA's website.
