Parties agreed to a settlement agreement pursuant to which EPA would take action to set greenhouse gas emission standards for
EPA announced that it had reached agreements in two lawsuits to propose sector-wide GHG emissions controls for electric utilities and petroleum refineries. The agreements call for EPA to propose revisions to new source performance standards and emissions guidelines for the industries, which include limits on GHGs. The new source performance standards will apply to new and modified facilities, while the emissions guidelines will apply to existing facilities. Under the agreement with refineries (under lead case American Petroleum Institute v. EPA), EPA must propose the new standards by December 15, 2011 and finalize them by November 15, 2012.
