A Webinar Discussion of the Utility MACT Rule & Electric Reliability Obligations

January 19, 2012
3:00PM  -  4:00PM

Please join us for a one-hour webinar presentation on The Utility MACT Rule, the CSAPR Stay, and the Obligation to Comply with Grid Reliability Standards: Managing the Challenge in an Age of Uncertainty

As the industry begins to simultaneously digest the new UMACT rule and the Court Order staying CSAPR, Troutman Sanders will provide insight into the challenges of complying with the new rule while at the same time complying with FERC-approved electric reliability standards.

Troutman Sanders partners Peter Glaser and Daniel Larcamp will discuss the following issues:

  • The reliability portions of the new Utility MACT rule, including the Presidential Memorandum and EPA’s Enforcement policy statement on electric reliability;
  • What roles FERC, NERC, EPA, Regional Transmission Organizations, State Commissions, and Electric Utilities will have in this new regulatory scheme;
  • The challenges in minimizing civil exposure under the Clean Air Act without creating exposure under the Federal Power Act and vice versa;
  • The CSAPR stay and what it means for the future of CSAPR and UMACT; and
  • What utilities can do now to manage this new challenge. 

Webinar call-in information for those who are able to participate will be sent via e-mail on Wednesday, January 18th.  If you are not able to participate in the live webinar, a recording will be posted to Troutman Sanders' website.
