Draft Guidance for Improving Air Quality Through Economic Incentive Programs
Today EPA announces the availability of draft guidance for States that wish to use an economic incentive program (EIP) to achieve air quality improvements. The draft guidance--``Draft Economic Incentive Program Guidance (EPA-452/D-99-001, July 1999)''--is a comprehensive update of EPA's 1994 EIP rule and guidance. (59 FR 16690), with regard to discretionary EIPs. It also incorporates some components of EPA's 1995 proposed model rule for open market trading (60 FR 39668), as well as the comments received on that proposed rule. With this guidance, EPA seeks to encourage cost effective and innovative approaches for achieving air quality requirements, and at the same time, maintain the enforceability and accountability of more traditional air quality management approaches.
