Opportunities for EPA to Regulate Nitrous Oxide
MCLI Recommendation: “EPA should continue to use its authority under CAA §202 to regulate mobile sources of nitrous oxide emissions, and should introduce more stringent nitrous oxide emission caps for new motor vehicle fleets.”
LPDD Recommendation: “EPA should use its authority under CAA §§115 or 615 to issue nationwide regulations respecting the control of nitrous oxide emissions from agricultural soil management and livestock.”
LPDD Recommendation: “EPA should use its authority under CAA §§115, 615, or 111 to establish emission caps or performance standards for stationary sources of nitrous oxide emissions, particularly power plants and nitric acid facilities.”
