public comment on epas new rules for hazardous air
Summary
The Institute for Policy Integrity supports the EPA's proposed actions to reduce toxic emissions from boilers and incinerators but argues that the agency should refine its cost-benefit analysis to allow for more stringent standards. The organization recommends that the EPA implement periodic energy audits, adopt a longer time horizon for analysis, and more thoroughly evaluate regulatory alternatives such as switching to cleaner fuels to maximize public health and economic benefits.
Key insights
- The Institute for Policy Integrity believes the EPA's proposed rules for toxic emissions are a positive step but require further refinement to achieve optimal results at the lowest cost, specifically suggesting that the cost-benefit analysis could support more stringent standards.
- The document recommends several specific policy improvements for the EPA, including the use of periodic energy audits, cost-effective conservation measures, a longer time horizon for analysis, and a more detailed examination of alternatives like switching to cleaner fuels.
