Purpose


The department proposes to repeal Rule 62-296.480, F.A.C., based on the vacatur of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR). Rule 62-296.480, F.A.C., was adopted to implement CAMR to control mercury emissions at coal-fired electric generating units. On February 8, 2008, The Court of Appeals, District of Columbia Circuit, vacated EPA’s rule. Due to the vacatur of CAMR and EPA’s decision not to appeal the vacatur, the department, is proposing to repeal Rule 62-296.480, F.A.C.
