	Clean Air Act (1990) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 1990 Clean Air Act is a piece of U.S. legislation relating to the reduction of smog and atmospheric pollution.
		It follows the Clean Air Act in 1963, the Clean Air Act Amendment in 1966, the Clean Air Act Extension in 1970, and the Clean Air Act Amendments in 1977.
		Although the 1990 Clean Air Act is a federal law covering the entire country, the states do much of the work to carry out the Act.

		The Clean Air Act, first passed in 1963, was last reauthorized and amended by the Congress in 1990, when new programs were created and changes were made to the ways in which air pollution is controlled.
		Background: The Clean Air Act, a comprehensive federal law that regulates air pollution from stationary and mobile sources, was passed in 1963 to improve and protect the quality of the nation's air.
		The act was substantially overhauled in 1970 when the Congress required EPA to establish national ambient air quality standards for pollutants at levels that are necessary to protect public health with an adequate margin of safety and to protect public welfare from adverse effects.

	Air Quality: The 1990 Federal Clean Air Act
		A 2003 study by the White House's Office of Management and Budget concluded that improvements in air quality between October 1992 and September 2002 attributable to clean air regulations resulted in between $120 and $193 billion in benefits because of the value of reductions in hospitilizations, emergency room visits, premature deaths and lost workdays.
		By comparison, costs to states, municipalities, industries and individuals associated with clean air regulations were estimated at between $23 and $26 billion over the decade.
		These anticipated economic impacts were a primary component in the debate over the 1990 Clean Air Amendments and in the recent debate over the strengthening of the ozone and particulate matter standard.

	CLEAN AIR ACT
		The 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments are a landmark effort to reduce air pollution through a variety of instruments including the use of a market based system of tradeable pollution "permits" under Title IV and Title V. Recently, however, enforcement has lagged because of Congressional resistance.
		Air Quality Criteria Documents for sulfur oxides and particulates were issued two years after the passage of the bill and criteria documentation for HCs, CO, and oxidants were not ready until 1970 and NOx criteria were not issued until 1971.
		Clean air legislation languished almost untouched during the Reagan administration even though pollution continued to be a significant voter concern.

		The Clean Air Act is a federal law covering the entire country, the states do much of the work to carry out the Act.
		For instance, an electric power plant may be covered by the acid rain, hazardous air pollutant and non-attainment (smog) parts of the Clean Air Act; the detailed information required by all these separate sections will be in one place--on the permit.
		The deadlines in the 1990 Clean Air Act were designed to be more realistic than dead- lines in previous versions of the law, so it is more likely that these deadlines will be met.

		It established new primary and secondary standards for ambient air quality, set new limits on emissions from stationary and mobile sources to be enforced by both state and federal governments, and increased funds for air pollution research.
		The Clean Air Act of 1990 addressed five main areas: air-quality standards, motor vehicle emissions and alternative fuels, toxic air pollutants, acid rain, and stratospheric ozone depletion.
		Interstate air pollution from the use of high sulfur coal and oil also needed to be reduced; therefore, this act encouraged the use of technology which removed sulfur from these fuels.

	A Timeline of the Clean Air Act
		Despite the Clean Air Act's many victories, a number of power companies are challenging the government's enforcement of the law in court.
		In 1990 the Seventh Circuit Court rules that the company should not be subject to NSR because the new method EPA used to estimate emissions ("actual-to-future-actual") was not as appropriate a test as the one they had been using ("actual-to-future-potential").
		Despite protestations by some industry interests to the Clean Air Act regulations are prohibitively costly, the Department of Energy estimates that costs to power plants to reduce their pollution levels under the 1990 Clean Air Act Amendments accounted for merely 0.6 percent of the utilities’ overall $151 billion operating expenses.

	Time to Reopen the Clean Air Act: Clearing Away the Regulatory Smog
		Many cities in the OTR are subject to those air pollution control requirements because of the abnormally high air pollution levels that prevailed in 1988, in particular, high levels of urban ozone, or smog.
		The excess air pollution was caused, in part, by the meteorological conditions that occurred in 1988, by some accounts a once-in-100-years phenomenon akin to the disastrous 1993 floods in the Midwest.
		Although the EPA was required by the Clean Air Act to review the form of the standard, nothing has been done that would compensate for the current reliance on 1988 in the classification of ozone nonattainment areas.
