Before we start the hearing, I would note that the record will be kept open for 2 weeks so that Senators can ask followup questions, and they are sent to committee staff within the next week, but also give the witnesses a chance to look at their answers should they want to add anything to them. Obviously, this is unusual and I want to extend thanks to my fellow co- chair, Senator Jeffords, who is also my colleague from Vermont. I thank him for helping to put this together, and Senator Bob Smith, who is the ranking Republican, and of course the ranking Republican on the Judiciary Committee, Senator Orrin Hatch. We will have statements by myself and Senator Jeffords and Senator Hatch and Senator Smith. The two appropriate subcommittee chairmen and ranking members are Senator Lieberman and Senator Voinovich, and Senator Biden and Senator Grassley.

I am disappointed that Administrator Christie Whitman was unable to join us today. We tried to make things easier by having two major committees with jurisdiction here, but she is not here. I would like to thank the Administration for having a couple of representatives who are willing to take time to be with us.

I also want to thank the State attorneys general who traveled long distances to be present. I would like to recognize among them my good friend, Vermont's Attorney General William Sorrell, a highly respected attorney general. We pay attention to that, because we have another highly respected former attorney general from Vermont, Jim Jeffords. I never made it beyond the ranks of being a State's attorney. I also see Attorney General Spitzer here and Attorney General Pryor and others.

Our committees have come together because of the issues we are discussing, the Administration's proposed revision to the Clean Air Act's New Source Review regulation, or NSR. Now, it does not just go into the question of quality of air, it goes into the question of enforcing our laws and the quality of air. Back in 1977, New Source Review was a part of an agreement to give corporate energy companies a temporary, and I emphasize a temporary, grace period before they adopted modern Clean Air Act standards at their facilities. I was here at the time, and I remember the negotiations that went on between both Democrats and Republicans, the industry and the Administration. We worked out a compromise, and the understanding of the compromise was that everybody would keep their word, including whoever might be in the Administration. The Clean Air Act exempted or grandfathered pre-1977 industrial facilities from immediate installation of modern pollution controls, requiring them to do so only when they made significant modification to their sites. It was a fair and generous concession that gave corporate energy companies the benefit of the doubt.

Now, several of the largest corporate energy companies did not keep their word. They completely abused our trust in upgrading old, dirty plants on the cheap. They ignored required air pollution controls -- controls required by the New Source Review regulation. For more than 25 years, these irresponsible polluters who did not keep their word have chosen to save money by allowing their 1950's-era plants to belch hundreds of thousands of tons of excess pollution into the air, including harmful toxins such as mercury. Vermont and other States have paid the price with decades of acid rain and mercury deposits in our soils, our lakes and our rivers.

Some of us here were among the strongest supporters of the action by former President Clinton's Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Justice. They recognized and documented this corporate abuse. They cracked down on our Nation's most flagrant NSR violators in 1999. The owners of these facilities happen to be some of the largest and wealthiest corporate energy giants in the country, especially those in the utility sector, as we show on our chart over here on the side. This shows the incredible amount of annual emissions emitted by eight of these companies. American Electric Power, Southern Company, and Tennessee Valley Authority exceed the corporate average emission for the Nation's top 100 utility companies' emissions by five to eight times. The lawsuits brought by the last Administration were landmark enforcement cases against the largest corporate air polluters. They set the stage for a multi-billion dollar settlement by those companies and hundreds of thousands of tons of annual pollution reductions.

For the children in my State, having the pollution go down is worth a lot more than having the money in fines. But I would point out that unless these companies face the fines, our children are going to continue to breathe the pollutants. We have paved the way for numerous settlements with refineries around the country, and these are smaller in cases -- fines and pollution reductions -- but they are significant for the communities who live there.

But as you might imagine, the largest of these corporate polluters did not like being caught, especially when it meant billions of dollars in fines. So what did they do? Instead of paying the fines or cutting the pollution, they went last year to the new Bush Administration for relief -- relief from a regulation they had circumvented for more than a quarter of a century. Somebody finally called them on it, and told them they had to keep their word, they had to obey the law, and now they want to get away with it. Lobbyists for the biggest corporate polluters complained these lawsuits were in error. They had done nothing wrong. The explanation for why they continued to operate ancient pollution-spewing facilities was simply they had never performed major maintenance -- only routine maintenance, which of course would not trigger the NSR. Their justification is so transparent that one would think it would not even pass the lab test, but the Administration saw it differently.

Meeting behind closed doors in secret meetings that have yet to be fully disclosed to Congress or to the American public, Vice President Cheney's Energy Policy Task Force created this document. They sent it to the President in May 2001. Tucked within its pages is a short paragraph recommending a review of the NSR by the Department of Justice and the Environmental Protection Agency. That is a huge victory for corporate polluters. The path was clear for corporate energy lawyers to get their clients off the hook.

Patrick Leahy

As quoted in the New York Times earlier this year, one energy lawyer revealed the strategy. The thinking was, how can you do things that will influence the NSR issue in the pending litigation? The Administration recants NSR provisions and the lawsuits fall apart. They knew exactly what to do. They could say, go ahead and pollute, because the Administration doesn't give a hoot. That is exactly what happened. Last month, the Environmental Protection Agency proposed sweeping revisions and despite pledges by the Administration officials that these revisions would not change the course of pending litigation against NSR violators, we are already seeing the effects of this roll-back. Two of the largest utility cases have been settled in principle. Cinergy and VEPCO remain stalled to this day. Those cases would have required $2.6 billion in fines, but more importantly the reduction of 800,000 tons of pollutants. As soon as they heard that the Administration was backing off, those cases became stalled.

The bellwether case that set precedent for all litigation, U.S. v. Tennessee Valley Authority, was recently sent to mediation. That was a surprise to all involved. It is a much weaker outcome than expected, but it was following what was being said on the NSR revisions. Early estimates of the case might have been in settlement, and it would have, and TVA would have been responsible for over $1 billion in fines to the American people.

Now, this is not an obscure regulatory battle. Relaxation of the Clean Air Act has made headlines for months. In fact, it is the lead story in today's Post. I believe the American people will be listening for this Administration to explain itself. The dismantling of these lawsuits did not happen by themselves. The gutting of them is done in a calculated and planned manner, or it is completed in confidence. Either way, it is now allowable.

Recalling the American people in every single poll say have tougher action against corporate abuse. There is no way we can accept this roll-back of our Nation's clean air laws to benefit the wealthiest, largest, dirtiest corporate polluters, and sadly at the health and safety of our children.

While I am disappointed Administrator Christie Whitman did not join us today, I would very much like to thank the Administration's representatives for taking time to be here and the State attorney; general who have each traveled long distances to be present. In particular, I would like to recognize my good friend, Vermont's Attorney General William Sorrell. Thank you so much for being here. Finally, I would like to thank the many witnesses that acre present to testify today -- your time is much appreciated by both committees."

The Clean Air Act exempted, or "grandfathered," pre-1977 industrial facilities from immediate installations of modern pollution controls, requiring them to do so only when they made significant modifications to their sites and increased emissions.

This was a fair -- and, generous -- concession that gave corporate energy companies the benefit of the doubt acid trusted that they would use future modification upgrades to not only extend the life of their plants, but also to clean up the air.

Sadly, several of the largest corporate energy companies completely abused our trust, upgrading old, dirty plants on the cheap, and ignoring the required air pollution controls -- controls required by the New Source Review regulation.

For more than 25 years, these irresponsible polluters have chosen to save money by allowing their 1950's era plants to belch hundreds of thousands of tons of excess pollution into the air, including harmful toxins such as mercury. Vermont and other States have paid the price, with decades of acid rain and mercury deposits in our soils, our lakes, and our rivers.

On the chart behind me, you can see for yourself the incredible amount of annual emissions emitted by eight of these companies. Three of them -- American Electric Power, Southern Company, and Tennessee Valley Authority -- exceed the corporate average emissions for the nation's top 100 utility companies' emissions by five to eight times.

The Clinton lawsuits were landmark enforcement cases against the largest corporate air polluters -- especially those in the utility sector -- and set the stage for a multi-billion dollar settlements by those companies and hundreds of thousands of tons of annual pollution reductions. These, in turn, paved the way for numerous settlements with refineries around the country. While these were smaller cases in terms of fines and pollution reductions, they were and are significant cases for those communities living under the cloud of refinery smog.

So, last year, they went to the new Bush Administration for relief -- relief from a regulation they had circumvented for more than a quarter of a century. Lobbyists for the biggest corporate polluters complained that the Clinton Administration's lawsuits were in error and that they had done nothing wrong.

Their explanation for why they continued to operate ancient, pollution-spewing facilities was simply that they have never performed major maintenance -- only "routine maintenance" -- to their facilities for the past 25 years. As you might guess, "routine maintenance" does not trigger the pollution controls of NSR.

Two of the largest utility cases that had been settled "in principle" in early 2000 under the Clinton Administration -- Cinergy and VEPCO -- remain stalled to this day. Those cases would have required $2.6 billion in fines and the reduction of more than 800,000 tons of pollution.

And the case that has been called the "bellwether" case to set the precedent for all litigation against illegal pollution from coal- fired powerplants -- U.S. vs. Tennessee Valley Authority -- was recently sent to mediation. This action by the judge was a surprise to all involved and is a much weaker outcome than had been expected before the NSR revisions were publicized.

As you can see on the chart behind me, early estimates of this case might have ended in settlement and would have held TVA responsible for well over $1 billion in fines to the American people.

I believe the American people will be listening for this Administration to explain itself. The dismantling of these lawsuits did not happen by itself. The gutting of these lawsuits was either done in a calculated and planned manner or it was a product of complete Administration incompetence and lack of foresight.

At a time when the American people ware calling for tougher government vacation against corporate abuse, this Administration needs to be held accountable for its rollback of our nation's clean air laws for the benefit of the wealthiest, largest, dirtiest corporate polluters and, sadly, at the expense of the American people.

I am pleased also to be here with my colleagues and co-chair from Vermont. I believe this is the first joint Judiciary-EPW hearing ever held, but the gravity of the Administration's actions on New Source Review, or NSR, requires scrutiny of both legal and environmental grounds.

I am also glad to see one of my successors -- Vermont Attorney General William Sorrell is here today. I appreciate his willingness to testify along with others. I wish we were meeting jointly on a happier occasion, but these changes in NSR regulations appear to be the biggest regulatory roll-back in the history of the Clean Air Act. They seem designed to subvert the Federal Government's own enforcement actions that would otherwise remove millions of tons of pollutants from the public air space.

They also seem intended to give away the billions of dollars worth of health benefits that NSR provides every year. Under these proposals, far fewer plants and maybe 50 percent or less will have to apply pollution controls. The basic concept of NSR is one of constant improvement. That means industry should emit less and less pollution as time passes, as investments occur, and as technology develops. The Clean Air Act does not provide loopholes for non-routine maintenance or picking decade-old baselines or any of the other loopholes that this Administration is trying to finalize.

When any physical change as a stationary source increases the amount of any air pollutant by that source, "then pollution controls must be applied." That is simple. It is straightforward and it is the law. Unfortunately, aside from the dubious legality of the public health cost of these proposed NSR changes, the Administration's poor handling of this matter has created an atmosphere of distrust. Even if these proposals were legal or justified, I would be suspicious. To my knowledge, no attempt was made to reach consensus among the various stakeholders or consult with the committees of jurisdiction before issuing the reform package.

Overall, this has been a much different, much less open rulemaking process than the one used by the Clinton Administration. This Administration seems to have largely ignored comments from public health advocates and the States, while listening mainly to industry. The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee's legitimate request for information on this matter and others have been treated disrespectfully and disdainfully by the White House.

While the EPA has recently begun to provide information in response to our December request, 90 percent of which is already in the public docket, the Department of Energy has been very unresponsive. We will be reviewing the additional material that EPA has promised to deliver by the end of this week, then we will decide whether a subpoena is necessary. I hope it does not come to that, but this White House may give the committee and Congress little choice.

I will note, however, that I do not recognize any validity in the Agency's claim, made largely by the White House insistence, that the documents we are requesting cannot be shared before the rules become final. There is no precedent or protection provided by statute or case law to defend that position. I am saddened by what the White House is doing to the Environmental Protection Agency. It seems intent on gagging and binding this independent agency. This prevents us from working together in any kind of productive and cooperative manner. Even communication at the staff level has been intentionally stifled.

More than a year ago, the President directed the Agency to prepare a three-pollutant legislative proposal. The Agency developed and analyzed a proposal that it thought was defensible from air quality and public health perspectives. That straw proposal from August 2001 disappeared almost as soon as it was floated. Then in February of this year, a new version of targets and timetables was announced, one that looked quite different and substantially less protective, but no environmental or economic justification for those numbers had been provided to Congress or the public to see. We still do not have legislative language or any comprehensive analysis or demonstration on it.

NSR fits into a similar pattern. The Clinton Administration did a draft regulatory impact analysis in 1996 with its proposed regulations. Many years of stakeholder discussions took place, with lots of commentary and the analysis was shared. That Administration ended without a final rulemaking because of the many concerns, including environmental and legal questions. In June of this year, this Administration announced the NSR reform package. It did not conduct stakeholder meetings on the rulemaking passage. It provided no final regulatory impact analysis or any environmental or public health assessment. Worse yet, the Agency staff indicated that no qualitative analysis had been done or would be forthcoming.

That does not seem to comport very well with the requirement of the Executive Order on regulatory relief or with EPA's own internal documents. The NSR reform package is a recipe for litigation. If these changes become final, they will be overturned by the courts or perhaps by the Congress. The Agency will not be due any deference in court on its expert opinion because it has not justified how these changes can improve and protect the public health.

Except for a brief period, Congress has counted on EPA to be the "green" eyeshades people for 30 years. The Agency job is to make sure that pollution is accounted for and reduced. The EPA is supposed to keep corporate polluters honest and look out for the public good. But given these NSR changes and the White House anti-disclosure policy on information, it is hard not to think that the executives are overruling the green eyeshades people and trying to cook the books. Instead of greenbacks, we are talking about millions of tons of pollution that severely damages the health and welfare of the public.

I am pleased to be here with my colleague and co-chair from Vermont. I believe this is the first joint Judiciary-EPW hearing ever held. But, the gravity of the Administration's actions on New Source Review, or NSR, requires scrutiny on both legal and environmental grounds.

I wish we were meeting jointly on a happier occasion. But these changes in NSR regulations appear to be the biggest regulatory rollback in the history of the Clean Air Act. They seem designed to subvert the Federal Government's own enforcement actions that would otherwise remove millions of tons of pollutants from the public's air space.

They also seem intended to give away the billions of dollars worth of health benefits that NSR provides every year. Under these proposals, far fewer plants, maybe 50 percent or less, would have to apply pollution controls.

In exchange for these giveaways, what would the public get? More premature deaths, more lung disease, and more polluted landscapes. That doesn't seem like a fair trade to me.

I'd like to place in the Record a letter from Ben Rose of the Green Mountain Club and the Hikers for Clean Air. Their letter clarifies that such NSR changes will foul the air, "shroud our State and national parks in haze," and acidify our lakes and streams.

The basic concept of NSR is one of constant improvement. That means industry should emit less and less pollution as time passes, as investments occur and as technology develops. The Clean Air Act doesn't provide loopholes for non-routine maintenance or picking decades-old baselines or any of the other loopholes that this Administration is trying to finalize.

When "any physical change in a stationary source increases the amount of any air pollutant by that source" then pollution controls must be applied. That's simple and straightforward. And, it's the law.

Unfortunately, aside from the dubious legality and the public health costs of these proposed NSR changes, the Administration's poor handling of this matter has created an atmosphere of distrust.

To my knowledge, no attempt was made to reach consensus among the various stakeholders or consult with the committees of jurisdiction before issuing this reform package. Overall, this has been a much different, much less open rulemaking process than the one used by the Clinton Administration.

This Administration seems to have largely ignored comments from public health advocates and the States, while listening mainly to industry. The Senate Environment and Public Works Committee's legitimate requests for information on this matter and others have been treated disrespectfully and disdainfully by this White House.

While the EPA has recently begun to provide information in response to our December request, 90 percent of which is already in the public docket, the Department of Energy has been very unresponsive.

We will be reviewing the additional material that EPA has promised to deliver by the end of this week. Then we will decide on whether a subpoena is necessary. I hope it doesn't come to that, but this White House may give the Committee and Congress little choice.

I will note, however, that I do not recognize any validity in the Agency's claim, made largely at the White House's insistence, that the documents we are requesting cannot be shared before the rules become final. There is no precedent or protection provided by statute or case law to defend that position.

I am saddened at what the White House is doing to the Environmental Protection Agency. It seems intent on gagging and binding this "independent" agency. This prevents us from working together in any kind of productive and cooperative manner. Even communication at the staff level has been intentionally stifled.

More than a year ago, the President directed the Agency to prepare a three-pollutant legislative proposal. The Agency developed and analyzed a proposal that it thought was defensible from an air quality and public health perspective. That "straw proposal" from August 2001 disappeared almost as soon as it was floated.

Then, in February of this year, a new version of targets and timetables was announced, one that looked quite different and substantially less protective. But no environmental or economic justification for those numbers had been done for the Congress or the public to see. We still don't have legislative language or any comprehensive analysis or documentation on it.

NSR fits into a similar pattern. The Clinton Administration did a draft regulatory impact analysis in 1996 with its proposed regulations. Many years of stakeholder discussions took place where lots of commentary and analysis was shared. That Administration ended without a final rulemaking because of many concerns, including environmental and legal questions.

In June of this year, this Administration announced its NSR reform package. It did not conduct stakeholder meetings on this rulemaking package. It provided no final regulatory impact analysis or any environmental or public health assessment. Worse yet, the Agency's staff indicated that no quantitative analysis had been done or would be forthcoming. That doesn't seem to comport very well with the requirements of the Executive Order on regulatory review, or with the EPA's own internal documents.

This NSR reform package is a recipe for litigation. If these changes become final, they will be overturned by the courts or perhaps by Congress. The Agency will not be due any deference in court on its expert opinion, because it has not justified how these changes can improve and protect public health.

Except for a brief period, Congress has counted on EPA to be the "green" eye-shades people for 30 years. The Agency's job is to make sure that pollution is accounted for and reduced. The EPA is supposed to keep corporate polluters honest and look out for the public good.

But given these NSR changes and the White House's anti-disclosure policy on information, it is hard not to think that the executives are overruling the "green" eye-shades people and trying to cook the books. Instead of greenbacks, we're talking about millions of tons of pollution that severely damages the health and welfare of the public. Thank you.

I wonder, though, really how in the world this kind of discussion can be productive in terms of addressing the problems that we face in this country. Remember these terrible people are the ones that have produced the power to run this country through the last 100 years, including the Cold War -- the machinery that they produced to win the Cold War and to keep a free Nation. So if we just get that on there, just to get a little balance.

NSR, in my view, is a nightmare that does little to protect the environment. In fact, it often is the mechanism that delays the upgrades that would provide for cleaner air. This discussion has ignored the new technology that is being produced every day, that will in fact clean up the air. If they will just be given the opportunity to unleash that technology and not be restricted from doing so by some of the actions that we take here, the results would be beneficial to the environment.

Lest some people think that it is all one-way with me, in 1999 just days after I became chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, I opposed a rider that many on my side supported that would have ended NSR enforcement cases. I opposed that rider because I believe that we need to set clear environmental rules and prosecute violators. I opposed it, and at the same time I recognized the merits of the amendment and why they sought it. It was to avoid yet another round of litigation that would not clean up anything and just make lawyers rich. That is all we would accomplish with that -- provide less clean air and make more lawyers wealthy.

There is a better way, to be frank. NSR, which is anything but clear, has been the subject of near-continuous litigation and revision since its enactment in 1977 -- continuous revision and litigation. It is no wonder. A few pages of Federal law, led to a 20-page regulation that needed to be, "clarified" by more than 4,000 pages of guidance. Let me repeat that. A few pages of Federal law led to a 20-page regulation that needed to be clarified by 4,000 pages of guidance documents. This should not be a partisan issue. I don't know of anybody that wants to breathe dirty air. I don't. I will speak for myself. I don't think any of my colleagues down here on this side of the table want to breathe dirty air. But it is worth reminding my colleagues on both sides that the Clinton Administration realized the problems with NSR. That Democratic Administration in a proposal by Vice President Gore proposed the NSR reforms that are now in the Bush proposal and brought forth some of the same proposals that are now being roundly criticized on the other side.

I do not believe regulatory efforts alone are enough of an answer. I do not fault President Bush in the least for trying to create order out of this jumbled heap of nonsense and chaos that some generously call an environmental program. Unfortunately, while we have yet to even see drafts of the final or proposed rules, we have already heard threats of future lawsuits. We haven't seen a draft yet, and now future lawsuits are being threatened. That is in addition to the cries -- the biggest roll-back of the Clean Air Act since its inception. Biggest roll-back? On what data and analysis is the biggest roll-back based? I haven't seen any data. It was just in the last week that this committee, the Environment and Public Works Committee, received 13 boxes of information and analysis from the Administration's NSR review, long after claims of a roll-back were splashed across our Nation's newspapers and TV news. The majority has even indicated that 13 boxes are not enough. They may decide to issue a subpoena to get some more boxes.

If we do not have enough analysis yet, how can we conclude that this is a roll-back of the Clean Air Act? If you haven't got all the boxes they want, how do you know what is in the boxes? Maybe we do not need a roll-back of the Clean Air Act. If there is enough information to support such a conclusion, why do we need another subpoena?

It seems that again environmental politics is trumping real environmental policy. Good environmental politics is not good environmental policy, believe me, and it is now going to lead to cleaner air. Believe me on that, too. Real environmental progress would be working together to enact consensus, multi- emissions legislation for electrical utilities. Real environmental progress would be working together to build on the success of the acid rain program which worked, frankly, not at a cost of $5 billion as many said, but less than $1 billion, rather than to fight to keep a program that has reduced maybe a pound of emissions per lawyer involved.

Well, the President is trying to move forward on this, just like his predecessor did, but politics dictates that we must oppose a consensus approach. We cannot have a consensus approach because that would not have a political debate, and then we cannot call all Republicans polluters. That is the bottom line, folks, and that has served as an employment service for Clean Air Act lawyers and has produced very little in terms of environmental benefits. What we need is a legislative solution. That is what we are here for -- a legislative solution. Isn't it about time we sit down and do it? Why don't we go in the back and stop all this rhetoric out here in the front and sit down and work it out? You know that solution is? It is a market-based cap and trade program modeled on the acid rain program.

I spent weeks talking to Carol Browner about it in the Clinton Administration and she supported it -- a program with clear admission reduction levels and compliance dates set in law, allowing cap and trade. And yes, putting NSR on the table -- a program that avoids needless litigation and delay; a program that provides industry with incentives to make deeper and faster reductions that would employ their new technology. That is my goal. That is where I am coming from. That is what I think we all should be working to achieve -- the most reductions with the least litigation, and we ought to get started this morning. Unfortunately, that is not going to happen.

NSR is a nightmare that does little to protect the environment; in fact it often is the mechanism that delays upgrades that would provide for cleaner air. None-the-less, in 1999, just days after I became chairman of the Environment and Public Works Committee, I opposed a rider that would have ended NSR enforcement cases. I opposed the rider because it is my belief that we need to set clear environmental rules and prosecute violators.

At the same time, I recognized the merits of the amendment. It sought to avoid yet another round of litigation. Lawsuits make lawyers richer, but do little to provide for cleaner air -- there is a better answer.

NSR -- which is anything but clear -- has been the subject of near- continuous litigation and revision since its enactment in 1977. And it's no wonder -- a few pages of Federal law led to a 20-page regulation that needed to be "clarified" by more than 4,000 pages of guidance documents.

This shouldn't be a partisan issue either -- its worth reminding my colleagues on both sides of the aisle that the Clinton Administration realized the problems with NSR. That Democratic Administration -- led by Vice President Gore -- proposed NSR reforms that are now included in the Bush proposal that is being so roundly criticized.

Although I do not believe regulatory efforts alone are enough of an answer, I do not fault President Bush in the least for trying to create order out of this jumbled heap of nonsense some generously call an environmental program. Unfortunately, while we have yet to see even drafts of the final or proposed rules, we have already heard threats of future lawsuits.

It was just in the last week and a half that the committee received 13 boxes of information and analysis from the Administration's NSR review -- long after claims of a "rollback" were splashed across our nation's newspapers and television news shows. And the majority has indicated that even 13 boxes are not enough -- they may decide to issue a subpoena to get more.

It seems that, again, environmental politics is trumping a real environmental debate that could lead to cleaner air. Real environmental progress would be working together to enact consensus multi-emissions legislation for electric utilities. Real environmental progress would be working together to build on the success of the Acid Rain Program, rather than fighting to keep a program that has reduced maybe a pound of emissions per lawyer involved.

Well that's what I've tried to do. That's what the President has proposed doing. But politics dictate that the majority must oppose a consensus approach. While NSR has served as an employment service for Clean Air Act lawyers, it has produced very little in terms of environmental benefits.

That solution is a market-based, cap-and-trade program modeled on the Acid Rain Program -- a program with clear emission reduction levels and compliance dates set in law -- a program that avoids needless litigation and delay -- and a program that provides industry with incentives to make deeper and faster reductions than required.

Thanks, Chairman Jeffords and Chairman Leahy. This is an all-Vermont-led hearing. I feel as if I have enlisted in the Green Mountain Boys here today, but it is an honor to be marching alongside behind you. I thank you for convening this hearing, which is aimed at shining a spotlight on these proposals to amend the New Source Review provisions of the Clean Air Act.

This is a very important hearing because the Bush Administration is on the brink of gutting these New Source Review provisions and replacing them with nothing, or with an alternative that is so weak it is essentially nothing. That would be devastating to the quality of air in Connecticut and all across the country. There is a good deal of attention that we are paying in the Senate these days, and the whole country is to so-called "corrupt corporate accounting." I am not saying that the accounting being done here is corrupt, but I am saying that with regard to New Source Review, the environmental accounting that is being done is at best deceptive.

The Administration asserts, for instance, that an increase of thousands of tons of emitted pollutants by a power plant would not be an increase under the law. Why? Because a decade ago, the plant polluted at the higher level. As a result of this change alone, some in EPA have estimated that over 50 percent of the polluters currently required to install pollution controls would, under the President's plans, get to escape regulation and breathe a little easier.

Not so for the rest of us. The more noxious pollutants in the air, the more the American people will have to grapple with more asthma, more cardiac disease and more cancer. That is just not my conclusion. In 1999, EPA sued eight utility companies that it believed has violated the New Source Review provisions and according to EPA's own analysts, these eight utilities alone, a fraction of all those that are subject to the New Source Review regulations, produced emissions responsible for 14,000 cases of acute bronchitis, 140,000 asthma attacks, and 5,900 premature deaths every year. It is those lawsuits that these rule changes would under-cut, and those health problems that would be a prelude, I am afraid, to many more to come if the Administration's proposed rule change goes through.

In an effort to understand the full environmental and public health consequences of these Administration's actions, as has been indicated here today, last December I was proud to join Chairman Jeffords and other colleagues on the Environment Committee in requesting EPA's analysis of the impacts of these rule changes. Since then, I would say we have been slow-walked and have not truly received answers to our questions. This is subject to two interpretations, I would say. The first is either that the Agency has not done the analyses we have requested, and therefore is gutting the Clean Air Act without adequate evaluation of the consequences. Or second, the Agency has done the analyses and does not want to release them.

Either way, it says that these amendments are not built on a strong foundation. The divergence between EPA's proposal and the position of the United States in these lawsuits is stunning. In legal briefs that were actually signed by Mr. Sansonetti, who is a witness on the first panel, and submitted to Federal courts, the United States argued that any exemption from the New Source Review provisions should be, "narrowly construed," that utilities, "indisputably had notice of EPA's interpretation," of the New Source Review rules and that EPA's interpretation has been held constant for at least the past decade.

These legal arguments directly contradict the EPA proposals we are looking at in this hearing today, which seek to carve out what I would call a cavernous exemption for routine maintenance and which announce a need to clarify previous interpretations of these provisions. Why would there need to be any clarification if, as the Justice Department asserts, the interpretation has not varied for a decade, and industry has had fair notice? I hope that from the witnesses today, we will be able to clarify the Administration's true position on these provisions.

Mr. Chairman, there is room for improvement in the New Source Review program. That is clear. I think it would best be done, however, in concert with the legislation that you and I and others have sponsored, which would limit the emissions of all four major pollutants from power plants, and that legislation was passed out of our committee last month. The reason I think any alteration of New Source Review would best be done in concert with new pollution protections is that otherwise we are going to be replacing the existing environmental regime with nothing, or with something that promises even more pollution, and that is not good for the health and well-being of the American people.

Mr. Chairman, first of all I object to the majority's gross negative sinister characterization of the Administration's initiative to clarify New Source Review. It reminds me of the old bogeyman, and that is characterize something as bad before you know what it is or it has been finalized. That being said, Mr. Chairman, thank you for calling today's hearing on New Source Review.

The program has been around since 1977. It requires new facilities to install the best demonstrated technology to control emissions. The program also requires older facilities to update their equipment to state-of-the-art as they undergo major modifications. I think it is important to point out at the very beginning that it is a fallacy to say that any plants are so-called "grandfathered" from the Clean Air Act. On the contrary, every major facility is regulated by the Clean Air Act and must meet defined permit levels, all of them. Every plant must abide by the ozone and PM standards, the MACT standards, the NOx and SIP Call, and every regulatory program applicable to each industry.

It is important to note, particularly for me as the former Governor of Ohio, that our utilities have spent more money to reduce pollution than all of the utilities in the northeastern part of the United States of America. We have reduced pollution significantly since the Clean Air Act, which never seems to be mentioned in any of these hearings.

It is also a fallacy to assume that NSR only applies to utilities and refiners. It applies to every stationary source in the country as evidenced by the testimony you will hear today from Intel. The EPA issued first NSR regulations back in 1980 -- a 20-page document. Since then, they have produced, as Senator Smith said, over 4,000 pages of guidance documents in an attempt to explain and reinterpret the regulations. I think it is important for this committee to understand that the lawsuits blossoming all over the country were triggered by an EPA guidance in 1998 which changed the definition of routine maintenance. That is a guidance. It was not a regulation. Somebody came out with a new guidance and said that the way we define routine maintenance is wrong, and subjected these utilities to these lawsuits because they said they violated New Source Review. This has led to confusion and misunderstanding by the Agency, the States and the regulated community.

Mr. Chairman, this chart, which I have used once before at a Governmental Affairs Committee hearing, shows by companies are reluctant to subject themselves to NSR permits. Only a fool would put themselves into this maze to do ordinary repair and maintenance of a generating facility. Look at that chart. It is no wonder companies postpone making changes that would improve efficiency and the environment. We need clarification of the regulations. We need to do everything possible to encourage new investments in more efficient equipment that produces fewer noxious emissions. That is why, and I think it is really important for this committee to know that Senator Conrad and I, along with 24 of our colleagues, sent a bipartisan letter to Administrator Whitman in May, calling on her to complete the NSR review and undertake the necessary regulatory process in the future to clarify and reform the NSR program.

Our letter was bipartisan, with 9 Democrats and 17 Republicans all calling for reform. While I am sure that all of us will not necessarily agree on exactly what the reforms should ultimately look like, we did all agree we had to move forward with reform. If members of this committee have concerns with certain aspects of the proposed reforms, then this hearing should take place after the proposed changes are published. At that point, we could debate the merits of the proposed regulations and whether the reforms go far enough. In the letter, we also stated that we have heard of many situations in which confusion over the NSR program is having a dampening effect on utilities' willingness to perform energy efficiency and environmental improvement projects.

Mr. Chairman, I would just like to mention just a few of the examples I am aware of. I think it is important. There is a new technology called dense pack, which enhances the efficiency of turbine blades in coal-fired power plants, and can result in significant improvements by generating more electricity with no additional use of fuel. If one of those generating units could improve efficiency between 2 and 4 percent with this technology, which is a conservative estimate, it would result in additional output of 6,000 to 12,000 megawatts of power in the near term, and significantly reduce emissions of NOx and SOx. This is the equivalent of building 20 to 40 new power plants of 300 megawatts today, with no more emissions. It is my understanding that these dense packs would trigger NSR today. That is where we are.

Another example -- the EPA concluded that a plan by the Detroit Edison Company to replace worn turbine blades with new improved blades was non-routine. The replacement would increase the efficiency of two turbines by 4.5 percent each along each unit, to produce 70 additional megawatts of additional power with no increase in fuel consumption, or to continue to producing at past levels while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.

For refiners, I am aware of one example in which tubes failed, resulting in a fire which damaged the remaining tubes. New tubes were installed and the unit was back in production within 2 weeks. However, they were in violation of NSR due to the actual potential emission test. If NSR regulations were followed, the unit should have followed the PSD permit process, resulting in the refinery being out of commission for 5 to 18 months instead of the 2-week period that it took for them to repair it. I think my colleagues should remember that the next time a refinery closes and gas prices spike.

Mr. Chairman, the 26 Senators who signed the letter are not the only ones that think NSR has prohibited reductions in emissions. According to the national coal study commissioned by the Clinton Administration, if the EPA were to return to pre- 1998 NSR definitions, we would generate 40,000 new megawatts of electricity from coal-fired facilities and reduce pollution at the same time -- reduce pollution at the same time.

One last point, and that needs to be made. The cost of NSR are passed on to the rate-payers. Somehow, people forget that the customer always pays. (INAUDIBLE) about the utilities, about those industries and those bad people that run them? But when it comes to utilities, it is the rate-payers that ultimately have to pay the cost of this.

We have an interesting mix of witnesses today. I am particularly eager to hear from the Administration because those opposed to NSR reform have put a negative spin on their announcement. Isn't that why we are here today?

I would like to just say a few things at the outset. We sometimes forget the focus of the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts, which were passed when I came to the Senate in 1972. Their purposes are not to maintain the status quo or to generate more energy. They are to fundamentally change the quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink. The objective is not to stay static, but is to improve the environment; and there is a whole hell of a lot of improvement needed.

Without blaming anyone about anything, I suspect our perspectives are impacted upon by which way the wind blows. I would like for a while to have the wind blow into Ohio instead of out of Ohio. I would like the wind to blow from Delaware into Pennsylvania, rather than from Pennsylvania into Delaware. I was raised in a steel town called Claymont, DE. I lived a tenth of a mile from the Pennsylvania border, a place called Marcus Hook, PA. The Delaware River has more oil refineries -- I don't know if it still the case -- in any one spot than any other place in America, including Houston, TX.

The prevailing winds blow our way, not the other way. As a kid, I would wake up in the morning. My uncle would drop me off at the local school. If there was mist that day, literally he would turn on the windshield wiper and there would be an oil slick on the window.

Where we sit impacts on where we stand on this issue. I am not being critical of the State of Ohio or any other State, but if the coal plants in Ohio and Michigan and other places were 20 feet high instead of 300 feet high, they would just seep over the top and all the folks in Ohio would get the benefit of the acid rain that we get where we live.

I understand the perspective, but we should be straight with each other. Part of what is at stake and the degree to which we feel intense about this depends upon who breathes what and what happens to our constituents. In my State, it is a big deal. If I take issue slightly with my friend Senator Lieberman, is not to clarify what you think, but rather to change what you think. You guys have a chance to correct this.

I am not being facetious. I think we need to bring some focus on this. The President says that he fully is focused on this -- but it is a little bit like when we started off the debate on corporate difficulties we now have. When it started, we did not alter very much at all the bill that Senator Sarbanes brought out of committee. We saw overwhelming opposition from about a third to probably a little more than that of the Members of the Senate. Then the public spoke. The public figured out what was going on and the Congress passed it overwhelmingly -- not a single dissenting vote. That is my hope for this issue. You have time, fellows. Redemption is at hand. You can change this. I mean it sincerely -- you do not have to go this route.

This is understandable; it happens in every Administration. A relatively small group of people who feel very strongly for one position end up having control of it, and move it. Then once the whole deal is figured out by everybody else, there are sometimes second thoughts. My hope is for second thoughts. This is all about cleaner air and cleaner water.

It is a serious issue to the people in my State. We live in a region that is in non-attainment of the Federal ozone standard. We are a tiny State. No place is wider than 55 miles; no place can you drive in a straight line longer than 113 miles. We have the highest cancer rates of any State in the Nation on average. We are one, two or three among the four cancers that are the biggest killers in America. Why in the heck is that? I don't know. We can't prove anything, but I will tell you what -- we cannot build a barrier 300, 500, 700, 800, 10,000 feet high. We can't. Nothing we can do about it. Nothing we can do about it. Yet the standards are higher in Delaware than elsewhere and we cannot meet the non-attainment Federal ozone -- we are in non-attainment.

The bottom line is, we don't have the ability to meet the current health-based standards. But to state the obvious, not all of our air pollution comes from Delaware. Think about this. I think maybe one of the big wake-up calls every once in a while -- I have been here a long time -- every once in a while, something happens that is totally unrelated to the issue at hand that sheds light on the issue like nothing else. The entire East Coast was in a fog because of a forest fire up in North Central Canada. If you ever need a graphic description of how the air we breathe is affected by what happens in other parts of the country, I don't know what more you would need to understand that point.

I would love to do something. I would love to be able to, just for kicks, make every emission that comes out of a coal- fired plant, to have a color, literally. I mean this sincerely. I am not joking. Instead of it being what is emitted, not discernible to the naked eye, I would love to be able to literally color code what was coming out of it, just like we saw that smog and smoke coming down from thousands of miles away in Canada. We would have, as we Catholics say, "a real epiphany," a real epiphany here in America.

My friend from Ohio makes a very valid point -- the rate- payers pay. I will lay you 8 to 5, if you went to the rate- payers and said, look, your rates are going to go up 2, 3, 5, 7 percent, but the air you breathe is not going to cause my son's asthma to get any worse. I will get they would pay. I bet they would pay. We don't ask them that question. We don't get there.

I will make one last and concluding point. Under the leadership of Delaware's Governor Carper, now Senator Carper, Delaware's Chrysler wanted to build a new plant -- to build the Dodge Durango. They had to build a new paint plant. They debated whether or not they were going to meet the standards of New Source Review. The Delaware officials -- the Governor, and our Secretary of our EPA our Secretary of Natural Resources, a guy named DiPasquale -- came up with a program that is permitted in which there is a plant-wide applicability limit, the so- called PAL permit.

They did a heck of a job. Working with EPA, one of the first PAL permits was issued to the plant in 1996. The permit, the first of its kind in the automotive industry, was issued in 99 days. Everybody acknowledged we have to reform some of this -- it was issued in 99 days. The plant continues to operate under flexible permit; and as an added benefit, it saved Chrysler $13 million in increased productivity and pollution prevention costs.

This can be a win-win situation. Chrysler won with a permit giving the flexibility to meet production needs. Delaware citizens won through reduced air pollution. Clearly the PAL permits are one of the many ways industry can meet its responsibility to prevent pollution, while continuing to grow and expand under New Source Review rules. The Administration says it wants to promote the use of PAL permits. As part of the NSR reform, it has proposed a new PAL rule, but the similarity between the PAL permit that you all are proposing and the one, the old PAL permit that we used, is one in name only. In the words of the bluegrass singer Guy Davis, "This permit is a two-dollar chicken on a three-dollar plate."

The Administration is using the successful Delaware PAL record to support their new version, but the new version is fundamentally different. It gives the industry fewer regulatory requirements, but it fails to get in return pollution reductions that could come from state-of-the-art pollution control technology. The new version would force States to issue those new permits without gaining the benefits derived from the old permit.

Not surprisingly, Delaware does not believe it could achieve the same pollution prevention results under the new rule. It is opposing the reform proposal. In a letter sent to Administrator Whitman, Natural Resources Secretary DiPasquale said the following: "Fundamental differences in Delaware's approach versus EPA's apparent proposal make the use of our permit to support your proposal in appropriate. The Delaware approach ensures the use of state-of-the- art pollution control technology and lower emissions per emission unit than would otherwise be attained. Delaware believes this level of commitment from the source is needed in order to ensure those obtaining a PAL are truly environmental leaders and are capable of complying with a permit that offers streamlined regulatory requirements and flexibility along with the responsibility of self-regulation." Don't confuse what we did in Delaware with what you are proposing now. This is serious stuff. These rules are designed to protect public health, not to protect industry from fulfilling its civic duty. If it is going to cost more, why don't we engage in a little bit of truth in lending here? I sued to be on the Banking Committee. We went through this whole truth in lending thing 28 years ago -- a gigantic fight. Why don't we have a little "truth in lending" in pollution control? If in fact you all tell us it is going to cause these staggering increases in the cost of energy, tell us what they will be and let the voters choose whether or not they would rather breathe cleaner air or pay a little more money.

As a lot of you know, in March 2001, Senator Breaux and I wrote the first congressional letter on the New Source Review program to Vice President Cheney. In our letter, "EPA's flawed and confusing NSR policies will continue to interfere with our Nation's ability to meet our energy supply needs," and I ask unanimous consent that be placed in the record at the conclusion of my remarks.

Dear Mr. Vice President: In your capacity as the chairman of the National Energy Policy Development Group, we are writing to bring to your attention our concerns that, unless addressed, the prior Administration's EPA's New Source Review ("NSR") enforcement policies will continue to interfere with our nation's ability to meet our energy and fuel supply needs. We strongly urge that the Administration take into account these concerns in developing its national energy plan.

As you are very much aware, the Nation faces a potential energy supply shortage of significant dimensions. The California energy crisis is receiving the greatest attention in the media. However, major challenges exist in meeting demands for gasoline and other fuels, especially in the Midwest. More troubling, current projections suggest fuel shortages and price spikes -- far exceeding last year's problem. These are due to a number of factors including: difficulties in making summer-blend Phase II reformulated gasoline; EPA hurdles to expanding refinery capacity, and the overall increase in energy demand.

Unless reviewed and addressed, EPA's implementation of NSR permitting requirements will continue to thwart the nation's ability to maintain and expand refinery capacity to meet fuel requirements. In 1998, EPA embarked on an overly aggressive initiative in which it announced new interpretations of its NSR requirements that it has applied retroactively to create a basis for alleging that actions by electric utilities. refineries and other industrial sources taken over the past 20 years should have been permitted under the Federal NSR program. We also understand that these new interpretations conflict with EPA's regulations, its own prior interpretations and actions. and State permitting agency decisions.

EPA's actions have been premised heavily on its reinterpretation of two elements of the NSR permitting requirements. First, EPA's regulations specifically exempt "routine maintenance, repair and replacement" activities from NSR permitting. EPA now claims that projects required to be undertaken by utilities and refineries over the past 20 years to maintain plants and a reliable supply of electricity and fuels were not routine and thus should have gone through the 18- month, costly NSR permitting process. EPA's enforcement officials are asserting this even though, for more than two decades, EPA staff have had full knowledge that these maintenance, repair and replacement projects were not being permitted.

A second ground for many of EPA's claims has to do with whether projects resulted in significant emissions increases. By employing a discredited method for determining whether emissions increases would result from a project-using so called "potential emissions" instead of actual emissions, EPA is asserting that numerous projects resulted in emission increases when in reality they had no effect on emissions or were followed by emissions decreases.

EPA's NSR interpretations have created great uncertainty as to whether projects long recognized to be excluded from NSR permitting can be undertaken in the coming months to assure adequate and reliable energy supplies. Electric utilities and refineries have expected that they could undertake maintenance activities, modest plant expansions, and efficiency improvements without going through lengthy and extraordinarily costly NSR permitting, as long as the project involved either routine maintenance or no significant increase in actual emissions.

Now, in light of the new interpretations, utilities and refineries find themselves in a position where they cannot undertake these very desirable and important projects. This is not an acceptable result when the Nation is faced with severe strains on existing facilities. Against this backdrop, we strongly urge that the National Energy Policy Development Group: give investigation of EPA's implementation of its NSR requirements a high priority; suspend EPA's activities until such time as there has been a thorough review of both the policy and its implications; clarify whether the implications of EPA's new NSR interpretations and its enforcement initiative are being reviewed by the White House Office of Energy Policy and the Secretary of Energy prior to actions that could undermine energy and fuel supply; and establish guidelines to assure that EPA's application and enforcement of its NSR requirements will not interfere with the Administration's enemy and fuel supply policy. Requirements should be developed, which are consistent with responsible implementation of the statutory NSR requirements.

Specifically, to assist you in assessing the implications of NSR on meeting the nation's energy and fuel supply demands, you may want to obtain the following: (1) all requests since January 1, 1998 for information under section 114 of the Clean Air Act issued to facilities and companies in any sector involved in energy and fuel supply: and (2) notices of violation issued to, and complaints tiled against, any such company and/or facility alleging NSR violations during that period. We are submitting a similar request to EPA today.

I would like to publicly thank the Administration for being responsive to Senator Breaux's and my concerns. It took real courage to do this, to pursue NSR reforms. It takes courage because this is always misconstrued as a sneak attack on the environment. Despite all of the partisan rhetoric we have heard today about NSR reforms and the process of developing these reforms, make no mistake, President Bush's decision will result in a cleaner environment and greater energy security.

I am not going to go into this because it has already been touched upon by Senator Smith -- that is, it was the Clinton Administration that developed the draft proposals that accumulated over 130,000 comments on NSR reforms. It was Clinton's Environmental Chief, Bob Perciasepe, who wrote a letter outlining the NSR reforms, which are similar to President Bush's reforms, and called for the Bush Administration to consider formalizing the reforms. I would like to place this letter in the record also.

Jim Inhofe

From my tenure as the chairman of the Senate's Clean Air Subcommittee, I know that New Source Review is a major issue for the energy sector. In fact, I held the very first congressional hearing on New Source Review in your State of Ohio back in February 2000. I could not believe my ears of what I was hearing. We heard from companies who were trying to make environmentally friendly modifications to the facilities being stopped dead in their tracks, ironically by the Clean Air Act. As a result of my March 2001 letter, a number of stakeholders from all over the country have contacted me to discuss their experience with the NSR program. These examples further shocked me, so much so that Senator Specter and I sent a letter to the EPA and DOJ outlining some of the examples, and I would ask that that letter be made a part of the record.

We have serious concerns that continuation of the prior Administration's New Source Review ("NSR") enforcement policies may interfere with our nation's ability to meet our energy and fuel supply needs. For that reason, we were very pleased to see that the President has included in his energy policy an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and Department of Energy review of the NSR program and a Department of Justice (DOJ) review of the NSR enforcement initiative.

Prior to the Inhofe letter, we knew that New Source Review was a major issue for the energy sector. However, as a result of the Inhofe letter, a number of companies from all over the country have contacted us to discuss their experience in responding to EPA's information requests, the first step EPA takes in initiating an NSR enforcement action. The information included in your response to the Inhofe letter and the information received from these companies has raised a number of issues for which we would appreciate additional information. Therefore, we respectfully request the following information: Information and examples submitted to our offices by companies over the past several weeks suggests that the response provided by EPA does not include all of the Sec. 114 requests issued by EPA since 1998. Specifically, our offices have become aware of facilities that have received Sec. 114 requests without any official cover letter. These requests were apparently not included in the information sent to Sen. Inhofe. Please explain why these requests were excluded from the information presented to Sen. Inhofe's office. In addition, please explain how often the Agency submitted Sec. 114 requests without the appropriate cover letter, and the reason for this apparent informality. Additionally, it has come to our attention that, in some cases, the Sec. 114 requests came in the form of a photo-copied document with the name of one facility scratched out and the name of another facility penciled in. We are interested in knowing how many Sec. 114 requests are issued in this manner and the reason for using photo-copied requests with new names penciled in. Please include a copy of each of these requests and the names of the individuals in both the regional offices and headquarters who signed off on the Sec. 114 request in this form. Are Sec. 114 requests usually allowed to be issued in this manner? According to individual companies that contacted our offices, some Sec. 114 requests asked for information which had already been produced. We are interested in understanding further how often this occurs and the rationale for asking for the same information twice. In instances where the same information is requested again, does the company have to provide the same documentation again or can the company simply refer to a previous submission? Similarly, some companies have also stated that Sec. 114 requests referred to attachments that were not provided. We would request your staff to review the Sec. 114 requests sent out over the past 2 years to determine how often the Sec. 114 requests refer to attachments that are not provided. In addition, we are puzzled by the fact that upon receiving these Sec. 114 requests, some company officials received follow-up calls apologizing for the Sec. 114 request, requesting that the recipient "ignore" or "put on hold" the request. Please tell us how many of these calls were made and the reason for the retraction. What are the legal implications for the company of having received a Sec. 114 request followed-up by a "disregard call?" Is the company still obligated to respond to the request? If not, how does the company adequately document that the Sec. 114 letter is not being pursued? In light of these incidents, please provide us with information on any requests for information under section Sec. 114, which have been submitted to a facility and, subsequently, withdrawn for any reason, including the date of the submission and withdrawal of the Sec. 114 request. Given these incidents, we would also appreciate information on the procedure that EPA personnel must follow before issuing information requests under section Sec. 114 of the Clean Air Act. Please describe this procedure and all cases of a violation of such a procedure since 1998, including the name of the facility affected, the date of the violation of the procedure, the names and titles of any Federal employees involved, the supervisors of the Federal employees involved, and the nature of the specific violation of the procedure. What quality controls procedures does EPA have in place to assure compliance with these procedures? Unfortunately, because of the fear of retribution, many of the parties receiving these Sec. 114 requests have requested that we not disclose their names. None-the-less, we find it very troubling that we did not see any of these Sec. 114 requests included in EPA's May 14, 2001 response. In your testimony before the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works on May 15, 2001, you responded to inquires on these issues by stating that the problem is being addressed. Please explain to us what actions you are taking to assess the magnitude of these potential procedural missteps and the measures that you are planning to take to address the problem. In addition, we would also like information on all requests for information since 1998, which may not explicitly cite section Sec. 114, but derive the power of the requests from this section. With regard to the NOVs and complaints submitted, please provide us with a list of the types of projects cited in the NOVs and complaints. Finally, we would appreciate an explanation as to why EPA apparently chose not to comply with the requirements of the Paperwork Reduction Act (PRA) when it issued these Sec. 114 requests to the electric utility companies and refineries. As you maybe aware, under the PRA and the Office of Management and Budget's (OMB's) implementing regulations, an agency such as EPA is not to conduct or sponsor the collection of information without first consulting with and obtaining approval from OMB. Under the PRA, this consultation and approval process is intended to ensure that, among other things, the agency's information collection request is necessary for the proper performance of the functions of the agency, including whether the information will have practical utility.

As you maybe aware, the PRA applies to all information collection requests consisting of essentially identical questions or requests for information imposed on 10 or more persons. OMB's implementing regulations further specify that any collection of information addressed to all or a substantial majority of an industry is presumed to involve 10 or more persons. The information you previously submitted to Sen. Inhofe indicates that this threshold requirement has been met with respect to both the electric utility and refinery sectors.

Since the Sec. 114 requests you previously provided to Sen. Inhofe do not display OMB control numbers, should we assume that EPA has concluded that those requests are not subject to the PRA? If so, what is the basis for EPA's conclusion? We are aware of the fact that the PRA makes an exception for requests for information submitted during the conduct of a civil action to which the United States or an agency thereof is a party, as well for requests made in conjunction with an administrative action or investigation involving an agency against specific individuals or entities. But if this is the provision of the PRA on which EPA is relying, we must remind you that OMB's implementing regulations clarify that this exception applies only after a case file or equivalent is opened with respect to a particular party. Are we to understand that EPA has opened a case file for each and every one of the electric utility companies and refineries to which EPA has submitted Sec. 114 requests? If so, we would appreciate your formally confirming this for us. If not, then the question remains, what is the basis for EPA's apparent conclusion that the PRA does not apply? In particular, we direct your attention to the provision of the PRA that specifies that the PRA does apply to the collection of information during the conduct of general investigations undertaken with reference to a category of individuals such as a class of licensees or an entire industry.

These examples concern us because they suggest a sloppy and poorly managed enforcement initiative with little regard to the impact on companies that often have to unearth and certify up to 20 years of information in 30 days. Additionally, it costs a small facility hundreds of man hours and hundreds of thousands of dollars to comply with these information requests. Because these companies face the full force of the law and must respond to any information request, the government must bear the responsibility of being judicious in undertaking these requests.

Therefore, we further request a full investigation by the EPA's Inspector General, involving procedural errors and mismanagement. Additionally, we request that you share this information and any findings with DOJ, so DOJ can use this information for their review. We will also be requesting that, during the NSR enforcement review called for by the National Energy Plan, DOJ take a serious look at the extent to which these and other procedural errors exist within the NSR enforcement initiative.

As if it is not bad enough that no one really understands NSR as a policy and NSR is stopping projects which would make facilities cleaner and more efficient, under the NSR enforcement initiative, I saw outrageous examples of bureaucratic harassment. There were examples of information requests submitted to companies by EPA employees without any official authorization. There are other information examples in the form of photocopied documents with the name of one facility scratched out and the name of another facility penciled in. There are also requests which were addressed to one facility, but referred to operating units of another facility half-way across the country, just to mention a few.

I fully support strong enforcement of the Nation's clean air laws, but I am not going to stand by and watch what appears at the minimum to be a gross incompetence and carelessness by the Federal employees who appear to care nothing for the costs involved. As a former businessman, I have personally dealt with similar behavior from the government, and I often wish that more people had a background like I had so they would know what it is like to be overregulated when nothing is going to be gained from it.

I think Congress and the executive branch are going to have to understand how these various layers of regulation impact sections of the economy. We have a chart here I have used before, and this chart shows refiners who are currently working at almost 100 percent capacity, are going to be simultaneously hit with a multitude of regulations in the next few years. NSR will make it close to impossible for refiners to make these environmental upgrades. Higher energy prices affect everyone, but you know, you had, Senator Voinovich, someone come in and testify, I think his name was Tom Mullen, that it affects the poor the worst. Twenty-five percent of the people have to make a decision as to whether they want to heat their homes or have groceries. That was your constituent that made that testimony. Oklahoma is a poor State, so that percentage is much higher.

I think the NSR reforms enjoys the support of a wide range of interests. You have States' attorneys general, you have labor unions. I would like to submit two letters, one from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and one from the International Brotherhood of Boilermakers to support the NSR reform at this point -- without objection so ordered.

Dear Senator Inhofe: I am writing on behalf of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce (U.S. Chamber), the world's largest business federation, representing more than three million businesses and organizations of every size, sector, and region, to express our support for reform of the New Source Review (NSR) program. NSR, in its current form has impeded environmental progress and energy production for decades. The revisions recently announced by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are a good beginning to reforming a deeply flawed program.

The NSR program concerns the Clean Air Act (CAA) emissions standards applicable to significant new and modified stationary sources. In 1980, EPA established a regulatory exclusion for "routine maintenance." The scope of this term, however, remains subject to debate. A clear administrative interpretation of "routine maintenance" would be an improvement over the present situation, which is mired in complexity and confusion.

Reducing the problems with the NSR program is vital. Governments should not unnecessarily impede the work of the private sector. The NSR program is a classic example of bureaucratic complexity. More than 20 years after the initial regulation, a plant manager cannot determine with any certainty whether planned maintenance activities will subject the facility to millions of dollars of extra costs.

The NSR program, as presently constituted, is a severe impediment to increasing domestic energy supply. Electric generating plants cannot make even minor changes to their operations without running the risk of ruinous enforcement actions that would impose huge fines and enormous compliance costs on their facility. National energy policy, indeed national security, requires the removal of every obstacle to increased domestic energy production.

The National Energy Policy Report directed EPA to review the NSR program, and report on its effect on environmental protection and energy production -- EPA's review found that the NSR program has impeded or resulted in the cancellation of projects that would maintain or improve reliability, efficiency, or safety of existing power plants and refineries.

On June 13, 2002, EPA announced a set of revisions to the NSR program. Among other changes, facilities would be able to make physical changes to their plants without obtaining an NSR permit, if their emissions do not exceed a plantwide cap. Projects would be excluded from NSR requirements if they result in a net overall reduction of air pollutants. EPA would also establish a safe harbor test. Projects whose aggregate costs are below the threshold established by the safe harbor test would be exempt from NSR requirements.

These proposals promise a major improvement to the NSR program. They will lead to improvements in the environment, as regulatory certainty will allow facilities to perform routine maintenance and repairs without the fear of triggering NSR requirements. Plants have deferred routine maintenance, which would have improved safety and decreased emissions, due to the potential costs of NSR requirements. With the NSR program modifications, overall emissions will be reduced. The reforms, particularly the plantwide cap, will benefit facilities by allowing increased operational flexibility. The revised NSR program will simplify an overly complex program.

Commonly referred to as the Boilermakers Union, we are a diverse union representing over 100,000 workers throughout the United States and Canada in construction, repair, maintenance, manufacturing, professional emergency medical services, and related industries. Boilermakers, who make and maintain industrial boilers and the pollution control equipment they use, have had a long-time commitment to a clear, effective and reasonable new source review ("NSR") policy. We support the recent efforts of this Administration to clarify the program. The efficiency of our facilities and the safety of our workers hang in the balance.

First, let me be clear today that Boilermakers do not oppose the Clean Air Act, nor do we oppose its rigorous enforcement. In fact, construction lodges of our union look forward to doing much of the actual work for the installation of new technologies and controls at utility plants and for industrial boilers across this region and the country. In reference to the NOx control program alone, our international President Charlie Jones recently wrote:

Aside from NOx control, Boilermakers have always led the way on Clean Air Act issues. For example, Boilermakers were pioneers in installation of scrubbers and further in fuel-substitution programs at our cement kiln facilities. In short, Boilermakers have been there to meet the challenges of the Clean Air Act, to the benefit our members and all Americans that breathe clean air.

However, Boilermakers could not support the EPA's 1999 recent interpretation of its authority under the New Source Review program. NSR, correctly interpreted as we believe the Administration's clarification does, forces new sources or those undergoing major modifications, to install new technology, like the technology President Jones mentioned. We support NSR in that context.

But, when NSR is applied to the routine maintenance policies and schedules of existing facilities, very different results occur. In those cases, facilities are discouraged from undertaking routine actions for fear of huge penalties or long delays or both. By applying NSR in that way, we are pretty sure that Boilermakers won't have the opportunity to work on maintenance projects that we know are extremely important to energy efficiency. Just hearing about recent events in California is enough to make the case that facilities need to be as efficient as possible. We now have read that New York maybe facing similar problems. The New York Times reported just a few days ago that, the State "is unexpectedly facing the potential for serious power shortages over the next couple of months." Now is definitely not the time to play with the reliability of power grid.

Efficiency is not the only reason to encourage routine maintenance. Experienced professionals or Boilermakers new to the trade can both tell you: maintenance is necessary to maintain worker safety. Electric generating facilities harness tremendous forces: superheater tubes exposed to flue gases over 2000 degrees; boilers under deteriorating conditions; and parts located in or around boilers subjected to both extreme heat and pressure. Any EPA interpretation which creates incentives to delay maintenance is simply unacceptable to our workers.

Some critics of the June 13 action by the Administration have contended that the NSR decision was made with insufficient attention to public process. This simply has not been the experience of the Boilermakers or other unions working on this project. The U.S. EPA held four public hearings in each region of the country. Paul Kern, the recording secretary of our Local 105 in Piketon, Ohio, offered a statement at the hearing in Cincinnati. In addition, it is our understanding that over 130,000 rulemaking comments were received on this initiative. Given our experience with certain regulations that just seem to appear over night, the Administration's action on NSR seem pretty open and fair to us. When you compare the current clarification to the way the program changed by in 1999 -- without any rulemaking process whatsoever -- the Administration's June 13 announcement looks all the better!

Boilermakers are not just workers; they are also consumers of electricity that work hard for their wages. One item often lost in the mess regarding NSR is that capital expenditures not justified for environmental protection are still passed along to ratepayers. Unfortunately, the less money you make, the greater the percentage of your paycheck goes to your electricity bills. According to Energy Information Administration data, those living at or near the poverty level pay 4 to 6 times the percentage of their income for power. So, advocates of misusing the NSR program hurt those least able to afford it the most!

As you can see, Boilermakers have never asked for repeal or substantial revision of the NSR program. We encourage the development and installation of new technology, and we stand ready to continue to train and apprentice workers to meet the needs of the Clean Air Act. However, when the NSR programs goes where it wasn't intended -- and discourages the very maintenance, repair and replacement activities that constitute the livelihood of Boilermakers -- we must strongly object. Thanks for the opportunity to make a statement.

But we do have a crisis and it is not a laughing matter, and the extreme left environmental extremists do not want to drill, they do not want to refine, they do not want nuclear energy. I don't know what they want. You cannot run the most highly industrialized Nation in the history of the world on windmills.

Chairmen Leahy and Jeffords, members of the committees, I am pleased to be here today to discuss the Department of Justice's enforcement activities on behalf of the New Source Review program. We take the health impacts of air pollution seriously, and our enforcement activities in this area are an important part of the effort to clean up our air and to protect public health and the environment.

Accordingly, we are continuing to prosecute vigorously a variety of actions in connection with the NSR program. One point that I want to state at the outset is that there is much more to this program than the regulation of power plants. We are targeting a variety of industries. This approach has resulted in significant gains for public health and the environment across the United States.

In addition, the committee should be aware that the NSR litigation is only one part of the Environment and Natural Resources Division's enforcement docket. We have many other enforcement actions focusing on other environmental laws, including for instance the Clean Water Act, and we have to thank both of the Chairmen for our Vermont pure natural spring water that you supplied us with today. We are committed to vigorously enforcing all of these laws, as well as NSR violations.

In the late 1980's, the Department of Justice began bringing enforcement actions for NSR violations. Our primary goal in these actions has always been the protection of the public health and the environment by compelling facilities that are in violation of the law to install state-of-the-art pollution controls. We also seek to impose appropriate civil penalties for past violations so as to discourage noncompliance and ensure a level playing field between those who comply with the law and those who fail to do so. Over time, working with our colleagues at EPA, we developed a strategy of targeting industries that had significant compliance problems with regard to NSR requirements that were major sources of air pollution. I would like to describe just a few or our recent successes in those areas.

Beginning in the late 1980's, we focused our first NSR enforcement efforts on the wood products industry. In a landmark settlement, we resolved an action against Louisiana Pacific in 1993 with a consent decree that required the company to install pollution controls at its facilities nationwide. Since then, we have had a string of successes in obtaining similar settlements from other major wood product manufacturers. In March, we filed a settlement with Boise Cascade that will require reductions of up to 95 percent of the emissions from the company's eight plywood and particle board plants. Boise Cascade will also pay millions in civil penalties in its supplemental controls to reduce emissions at its various plants. The State of Louisiana which joined us in bringing this action will receive a portion of that civil penalty.

We have also been very successful in reaching settlements for NSR violations with several major refiners. After prevailing at trial on the issue of liability, we joined with the EPA and the Wisconsin Department of Justice in January to announce a settlement with Murphy Oil, which will dramatically cut sulfur dioxide emissions from the company's Wisconsin refinery. Murphy Oil will also pay a civil penalty of $5.5 million, the largest ever leveled in Wisconsin in an environmental enforcement case. Also last December, we announced comprehensive environmental settlements with Conoco, Navajo Refining and Montana Refining Company that are expected to reduce harmful air emissions from seven petroleum refineries by more than 10,000 tons per year. Several States joined in those settlements.

These are only a few of the many settlements that we have reached with major refiners in the last 18 months. All together, these settlements cover 37 refineries and almost 31 percent of the Nation's domestic refining capacity, and are expected to reduce air emissions of nitrogen oxides and sulfur dioxides by more than 150,000 tons per year.

Now, what about coal-fired utilities? The Department has filed 10 enforcement actions against coal-fired utilities. So far, we have reached settlements with two companies and agreements in principle with two others. Our most recent success in this area came in January when we joined forces with the State of New Jersey to reach a settlement with PSEG, in which it will spend over $337 million to install state-of-the- art pollution controls to eliminate the vast majority of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions from two New Jersey coal- fired power plants. The combined effect of the pollution controls will reduce the company's sulfur dioxide emissions by 90 percent and nitrogen oxide by over 80 percent. PSEG also agreed to pay a civil penalty of $1.4 million and to spend at least $6 million on three pollution reduction projects. As Attorney General Ashcroft stated, "This important settlement reflects our continuing commitment to enforce vigorously the Clean Air Act to protect public health and the environment."

What about the current status? We currently have 11 pending enforcement actions in which NSR violations are the main issue. Eight of those eleven involve power plants. The remaining three involve other industries. Of the eight pending power plant cases, five are currently in active discovery on liability issues, with one of these scheduled to go to trial this year in October. In the other three pending power plant cases, the parties are either engaged in settlement negotiations or discovery has been stayed because the district courts are awaiting the 11th Circuit's decision in TVA v. EPA. That case was argued in May. The 11th Circuit has not reached a decision and has recently referred that case to mediation.

Last, the Department's Office of Legal Policy has reviewed the existing enforcement actions for their consistency with the Clean Air Act and determined that the existing enforcement actions are supported by a reasonable basis in law and fact. It further stated that the Division will continue as it has during the pendency of this review to prosecute vigorously the EPA's civil actions to enforce the New Source Review provisions.

In conclusion, I would like to assure these committees that the Department of Justice takes very seriously its obligation to enforce the existing laws and to protect public health and the environment. As directed by the Attorney General, we will continue to vigorously prosecute the NSR enforcement actions and to defend the action brought by TVA against EPA.

I must admit that I have been looking forward to this opportunity because for some time now, I have been wanting to try to clear up some of the misperceptions that are circulating about the NSR program. Since I arrived at EPA almost a year and a half ago, I have spent much of my time learning about the details of this very complex program and I am eager to share with you what I have learned.

As several of you have mentioned, Congress created the New Source Review program in 1977 to allow for industrial growth without compromising our progress toward cleaner air. To accomplish this goal, the NSR program requires companies to install state-of-the-art pollution control equipment when they build a new major-emitting facility or when they modify an existing plant in a way that results in a significant emissions increase. We believe that the New Source Review program should provide a bright line for industry and regulators to follow in meeting these statutory requirements, but it does not. Over the years, the program has become increasingly complicated, often leading to protracted litigation. For example, as Tom mentioned, EPA filed several NSR-related lawsuits against power plants in 1998 and they are still far from being resolved. Now, as Tom has said and as Governor Whitman has repeatedly said, we are committed to pursuing those cases, but we do not believe that a properly designed program should need protracted and uncertain litigation to make it work. EPA is attempting to end this system of regulation by litigation by putting common sense back into this important program.

In May 2001, the President's National Energy Policy Group asked EPA to review the NSR program. During our review, we met with more than 100 public officials, industry groups and environmental and consumer groups. We held a series of public meetings and public hearings around the country, and we evaluated more than 130,000 public comments, although I should mention that probably about 1,000 of those were substantive comments; about 129,000 were postcards that were virtually identical.

The review found that NSR, as it applies to new facilities, works quite well and has provided substantial environmental benefits. As the current program applies to existing facilities, however, we found quite the opposite. It has become a source of frustration that has impeded or caused the cancellation of many projects that would have improved reliability and energy efficiency in existing plants. Now, perhaps this would be an acceptable price to pay if the program were effective in improving air quality. As it relates to existing sources, however, and again I want to state we are not talking about how the program applies to new sources, but as the program relates to existing sources, there is no evidence that it actually has improved air quality. We know that in some cases it has effectively prevented companies from making changes at their plants that would have reduced emissions.

We also know, perhaps more importantly, that it has created an artificial incentive for companies to keep their emissions high because under the current program, this is the best and in some cases the only way for a plant to preserve its operational flexibility. This is entirely consistent with the current regulations.

Now, no one should be surprised to hear that there are problems with the current NSR program. Officials from the last three Administrations, State and local government leaders, Members of Congress from both political parties and consumer and environmental groups have all acknowledged that the New Source Review program is not working as well as it should. For the past 10 years, practically half of the life of the program, EPA under both Democratic and Republican Administrations has been engaged in a formal process to figure out how to make the NSR program better. I am pleased to say that we are finally moving forward on this effort.

Last month, we announced major improvements to the New Source Review program, and rather than summarize those, I would just refer you to the documents that I believe that you already have. But let me just mention that those are really two different sets of improvements. The first several, as you have mentioned, will be final rules that will adopt proposals that were first made under the Clinton Administration back in 1996. That accounts for, the way we count them, five of the eight improvements to the program that we are making.

In addition, we are now at the initial stages of going through I believe exactly what Senator Biden asked us to do, which was to put these ideas out for public comment, to take input from all of the interested stakeholders, and to decide whether these are additional changes that need to be made. Let me just emphasize that each of these changes, whether they are the changes that we are going final on, or the changes that will go through the full process, have undergone an extensive public notice and comment process.

I believe that the changes we have made and those that we will propose will make a real difference in the effectiveness of the New Source Review program. By removing unnecessary barriers to modernization and pollution prevention, we can make our power plants, refineries and factories cleaner and more energy-efficient.

Just a quick word if I can on power plants. We as an Administration, and I personally, agree with the concerns that have been raised by many of the members of the committee, especially those of you in the Northeast. We understand that in fact there are serious pollution problems that are caused by coal-burning power plants. We also know how to address those problems, and I commend Mr. Jeffords for his leadership on the issue. We have spent an enormous amount of time in my Agency over the last 18 months, and actually over the last 10 years, trying to study how we can effectively reduce those emissions. I will tell you that the answer is to do something like what you all did in 1990, which is to not have a complex program that allows facilities to decide when they are going to reduce their emissions, but to have Congress enact legislation that says you are now required to reduce your emissions by a certain amount over a certain period of time, and that is what the President's Clear Skies proposal would do, and we very much look forward to working with all of you on that proposal and passing this important piece of legislation.

One other thing, I would like to ask if I may that the reports that are already in the public record on our recommendations, as well as our report on the New Source Review program, if those could be placed in the record, I would appreciate that.

Mr. Sansonetti, in January, your department issued a report which upheld the legal basis of the Clinton NSR lawsuits. In March, you were quoted as saying about the NSR cases, "We are going full stream ahead. We are actively pursuing all cases. When companies refuse to settle, DOJ will take them to trial." Tough words; I happen to agree.

But following these kind of tough words, the press reports indicate that because of EPA's recent actions revising the NSR, defendants who were close to settlement are now walking away from the bargaining table and doing it with confidence. In fact, defendants in courts are brandishing the EPA's own documents in their court filings in support for dismissing the multi-billion dollar lawsuits. All of a sudden, everything seems to be going backward. Did you and your lawyers at DOJ see that coming?

First of all, I disagree with the interpretation from press reports, because frankly, while obviously I cannot get into the details of any of the ongoing litigation, the details of the settlements, I can tell the Senator that the folks in my division continue to work on all these pieces of litigation and the settlements --

Patrick Leahy

In your report to the President on the pending NSR cases, the concluding line of the summary reads, "Any decision to withdraw, terminate or otherwise circumscribe them would rest in the discretion of the ENRD" -- DOJ's Environment and Natural Resources Division -- "which must assess the relative strength and weaknesses of a given case." But then in the same report, it concludes, "Any decision to withdraw, terminate or otherwise circumscribe them would constitute policy determination as to Clean Air Act enforcement strategy, or regulatory interpretation, determinations that properly rest with EPA, the Agency charged by statute with the responsibility to make such decisions." I just wanted to understand for the record, does responsibility for the enforcement of the Nation's environmental law lie with DOJ or with EPA?

I do not. I think that the courts are going to look at what the existing law is at the time that the matters come before the court, and the proposals are not going to be anywhere near final by the time these trials come up.

Now, Mr. Sansonetti, that is not responsive and that is beneath you and this committee. That is not the question, nor are we asking you to be -- but if you are going to be in charge of this, you have to make some judgments for tactics and otherwise. Do you get the impression that following this, there was a backing off of settlement discussions?
