Congressional Research Service Summarizes CPP Highlights

The Congressional Research Service (CRS) released its CPP summary on August 14, entitled EPA’s Clean Power Plan: Highlights of the Final Rule. This document provides an overview of some of the key components of the final rule, including differences from the proposal and a summary of EPA’s methodology. CRS also includes a helpful appendix that includes the proposed and final 2012 rate baseline and 2030 emission rate targets for each state, so readers can see how a particular state was affected by the changes.
