CAIR Vacatur
CAIR in effect since June 2006
EPA was sued by a small number of parties (one state, less than 20 power companies, and two small trade associations) on various aspects of CAIR
The Court issued its decision on July 11, 2008 to vacate both CAIR and the FIP in their entirety and sent the rules back to EPA

Objective - To collect comprehensive and accurate data relevant to future climate policy decisions, including potential future regulation under the Clean Air Act
Scope of Coverage - Define gases “…to require mandatory reporting of greenhouse gas emissions” (CO2, CH4, N2O, HFC, PFC, SF6)
Sections 114 & 208 of the CAA allow for data collection, measurement & recordkeeping from stationary or mobile related sources
Proposed rule expected by September 2008 and final rule by June 2009
