CLEAN AIR CONFERENCE TACKLES GLOBAL WARMING

EPA staff attended the National Association of Clean Air Agencies conference in Crystal City, Va. to define the role states and localities can play in the development of effective federal global warming legislation. Four key issues were discussed: Preserving the right of states and localities to set more stringent greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction requirements; the role they can play in implementing a federal GHG reduction program; the role they can play in a federal allowance program and in determining how funding is distributed and; their role in data management under a federal climate change program.
