EPA has proposed a replacement for the Clean Power Plan, which is known as the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule. If passed, the ACE rule would eliminate the emission reduction goals and emission standards for electric generating units (EGUs), and replace them with heat rate improvement (HRI) candidate technologies for coal fired power plants. The proposed rules also include changes in regulations affecting the New Source Review Program. The NTAA has developed this Fact Sheet to help Tribes better understand the proposed rules. A template letter for Tribes to use will be released soon. The comment deadline for the ACE Proposed Rules was October 31, 2018.
