EPA backing off tailoring rule but will regulate small sources by 2016
“EPA is also considering a modification to the ["tailoring"] rule announced in September requiring large facilities emitting more than 25,000 tons of greenhouse gases a year to obtain permits demonstrating they are using the best practices and technologies to minimize GHG emissions. EPA is considering raising that threshold substantially to reflect input provided during the public comment process.
EPA does not intend to subject smaller facilities to Clean Air Act permitting for greenhouse gas emissions any sooner than 2016.“ “Administrator Jackson Sends Letter to Senators“
