A group of state attorneys general and other state-level officials on Aug. 1 asked the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency to extend the comment period for a proposed rule tied to the agency’s Clean Power Plan following the termination of a stay that the U.S. Supreme Court has placed on the CPP. They made the request in a letter to Gina McCarthy, the EPA administrator.
At issue is a proposed rule, Clean Energy Incentive Program Design Details. In June, the EPA proposed changes and clarifications to the CPP’s optional Clean Energy Incentive Program (CEIP) including, among other things, a limited expansion of the types of projects that would be eligible for the CEIP.
