The Division of Air Resource Management announces a workshop to which all persons are invited.
DATE AND TIME: Wednesday, December 5, 2007, 9:00 a.m.
PLACE: Department of Environmental Protection, Carr Building, Room 170, 3800 Commonwealth Blvd., Tallahassee, Florida
GENERAL SUBJECT MATTER TO BE CONSIDERED: The department is holding a second workshop on rulemaking to cap greenhouse gas emissions from the electric utility sector such that by 2017, statewide utility sector emissions not exceed year 2000 levels; by 2025, emissions not exceed 1990 levels; and by 2050, emissions not exceed 20 percent of 1990 levels. The department proposes to create new rule Chapter 62-285, F.A.C., Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reduction, and develop new Rule 62-285.300, F.A.C., Electric Utility Greenhouse Gas Reduction Program, to accomplish this purpose. The effect of the rule would be to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from electric generating units. The department will not be offering any rule proposals at the December 5th workshop. The purpose of this second workshop is to provide another opportunity for interested persons to provide comments and recommendations to the department as we continue this rulemaking process. Written comments may be submitted to the contact person listed below.
