section, including, but not limited to, requirements for the 
allocation, transfer, and use of allowances under this title. Such 
regulations shall prohibit the use of any allowance prior to the 
calendar year for which the allowance was allocated or auctioned and 
shall provide, consistent with the purposes of this title, for the 
identification of unused allowances, and for such unused allowances to 
be carried forward and added to allowances allocated in subsequent 
years, except as otherwise provided in section 425. Such regulations 
shall provide, or shall be amended to provide, that transfers of 
allowances shall not be effective until certification of the transfer, 
signed by a responsible official of the transferor, is received and 
recorded by the Administrator.
    ``(c) Allowance Tracking System.--The Administrator shall 
promulgate regulations establishing a system for issuing, recording, 
and tracking allowances, which shall specify all necessary procedures 
and requirements for an orderly and competitive functioning of the 
allowance system. Such system shall provide, not later than the 
commencement date of the nitrogen oxides allowance requirement under 
section 452, for one or more facility-wide accounts for holding sulfur 
dioxide allowances, nitrogen oxides allowances, and, if applicable, 
mercury allowances for all affected units at an affected facility. With 
regard to sulfur dioxide allowances, the Administrator shall implement 
this subsection under 40 CFR part 73 (2002), amended as appropriate by 
the Administrator. With regard to nitrogen oxides allowances and 
mercury allowances, the Administrator shall implement this subsection 
by promulgating regulations not later than 24 months after the date of 
enactment of the Clear Skies Act of 2002. All allowance allocations and 
transfers shall, upon recording by the Administrator, be deemed a part 
of each unit's or facility's permit requirements pursuant to section 
404, without any further permit review and revision.
    ``(d) Nature of Allowances.--A sulfur dioxide allowance, nitrogen 
oxides allowance, or mercury allowance allocated, auctioned, or sold by 
the Administrator under this title is a limited authorization to emit 
one ton of sulfur dioxide, one ton of nitrogen oxides, or one ounce of 
mercury, as the case may be, in accordance with the provisions of this 
title. Such allowance does not constitute a property right. Nothing in 
this title or in any other provision of law shall be construed to limit 
the authority of the United States to terminate or limit such 
authorization. Nothing in this section relating to allowances shall be 
construed as affecting the application of, or compliance with, any 
other provision of this Act to an affected unit or facility, including 
the provisions related to applicable National Ambient Air Quality 
Standards and State implementation plans. Nothing in this section shall 
be construed as requiring a change of any kind in any State law 
regulating electric utility rates and charges or affecting any State 
law regarding such State regulation or as limiting State regulation 
(including any prudency review) under such a State law. Nothing in this 
section shall be construed as modifying the Federal Power Act or as 
affecting the authority of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission 
under that Act. Nothing in this title shall be construed to interfere 
with or impair any program for competitive bidding for power supply in 
a State in which such program is established. Allowances, once 
allocated or auctioned to a person by the Administrator, may be 
received, held, and temporarily or permanently transferred in 
accordance with this title and the regulations of the Administrator 
without regard to whether or not a permit is in effect under title V or 
section 404 with respect to the unit for which such allowance was 
originally allocated and recorded.
    ``(e) Prohibition.--
            ``(1) It shall be unlawful for any person to hold, use, or 
        transfer any allowance allocated, auctioned, or sold by the 
        Administrator under this title, except in accordance with 
        regulations promulgated by the Administrator.
            ``(2) It shall be unlawful for any affected unit or for the 
        affected units at a facility to emit sulfur dioxide, nitrogen 
        oxides, and mercury, as the case may be, during a year in 
        excess of the number of allowances held for that unit or 
        facility for that year by the owner or operator as provided in 
        sections 412(c), 422, 432, 452, and 472.

``SEC. 411. DEFINITIONS.

    ``For purposes of this subpart and subpart 1 of part B:
            ``(1) The term `actual 1985 emission rate', for electric 
        utility units means the annual sulfur dioxide or nitrogen 
        oxides emission rate in pounds per million Btu as reported in 
        the NAPAP Emissions Inventory, Version, 2 National Utility 
        reference File. For nonutility units, the term `actual 1985 
        emission rate' means the annual sulfur dioxide or nitrogen 
        oxides emission rate in pounds per million Btu as reported in 
        the NAPAP Emission Inventory, Version 2.
            ``(2) The term `allowable 1985 emissions rate' means a 
        federally enforceable emissions limitation for sulfur dioxide 
        or oxides of nitrogen, applicable to the unit in 1985 or the 
        limitation applicable in such other subsequent year as 
        determined by the Administrator if such a limitation for 1985 
        does not exist. Where the emissions limitation for a unit is 
        not expressed in pounds of emissions per million Btu, or the 
        averaging period of that emissions limitation is not expressed 
        on an annual basis, the Administrator shall calculate the 
        annual equivalent of that emissions.
            ``(3) The term `alternative method of compliance' means a 
        method of compliance in accordance with one or more of the 
        following authorities--

                in accordance with that section.
            ``(4) The term `baseline' means the annual quantity of 
        fossil fuel consumed by an affected unit, measured in millions

                fuel during calendar years 1985, 1986, and 1987, as 
                recorded by the Department of Energy pursuant to Form 
                767. For any utility unit for which such form was not 
                filed, the baseline shall be the level specified for 
                such unit in the 1985 National Acid Precipitation

                shutdown for a continuous period of 4 calendar months 
                or longer, and make appropriate adjustments under this 
                paragraph. Upon petition of the owner or operator of 
                any unit, the Administrator may make appropriate 
                baseline adjustments for accidents that caused

        shall determine the total tonnage of reductions in the 
        emissions of sulfur dioxide from all utility units in calendar 
        year 1995 that will occur as a result of compliance with the 
        emissions limitation requirements of this section, and shall 
        establish a reserve of allowances equal in amount to the number 
        of tons determined thereby not to exceed a total of 3.50 
        million tons. In making such a determination, the Administrator 
        shall compute for each unit subject to the emissions limitation 
        requirements of this section the difference between--
                    ``(A) the product of its baseline multiplied by the 
                lesser of each unit's allowable 1985 emissions rate and 
                its actual 1985 emissions rate, divided by 2,000, and

                multiplied by 2.50 lbs/mmBtu divided by 2,000, and sum 
                the computations. The Administrator shall adjust the 
                foregoing calculation to reflect projected calendar 
                year 1995 utilization of the units subject to the 
                emissions limitations of this subpart that the 
                Administrator finds would have occurred in the absence 
                of the imposition of such requirements. Pursuant to 
                subsection (d), the Administrator shall allocate 
                allowances from the reserve established hereunder until 
                the earlier of such time as all such allowances in the 
                reserve are allocated or December 31, 1999.

        paragraph (1), in each calendar year beginning in 1995 and 
        ending in 1999, inclusive, the Administrator shall allocate for 
        each unit on Table A that is located in the States of Illinois, 
        Indiana, or Ohio (other than units at Kyger Creek, Clifty Creek 
        and Joppa Steam), allowances in an amount equal to 200,000 
        multiplied by the unit's pro rata share of the total number of 
        allowances allocated for all units on Table A in the 3 States 
        (other than units at Kyger Creek, Clifty Creek, and Joppa 
        Steam) pursuant to paragraph (1). Such allowances shall be 
        excluded from the calculation of the reserve under paragraph 
        (2).

under subsection (a) may include in its section 404 permit application 
and proposed compliance plan a proposal to reassign, in whole or in 
part, the affected unit's sulfur dioxide reduction requirements to any 
other unit(s) under the control of such owner or operator. Such 
proposal shall specify--
            ``(1) the designation of the substitute unit or units to 
        which any part of the reduction obligations of subsection (a) 
        shall be required, in addition to, or in lieu of, any original 
        affected units designated under such subsection;

        require.
    ``(c) Administrator's Action on Substitution Proposals.--
            ``(1) The Administrator shall take final action on such 
        substitution proposal in accordance with section 404(c) if the 
        substitution proposal fulfills the requirements of this 
        subsection. The Administrator may approve a substitution 
        proposal in whole or in part and with such modifications or 
        conditions as may be consistent with the orderly functioning of 
        the allowance system and which will ensure the emissions 
        reductions contemplated by this title. If a proposal does not 
        meet the requirements of subsection (b), the Administrator 
        shall disapprove it. The owner or operator of a unit listed in 
        table A shall not substitute another unit or units without the 
        prior approval of the Administrator.
            ``(2) Upon approval of a substitution proposal, each 
        substitute unit, and each source with such unit, shall be 
        deemed affected under this title, and the Administrator shall 
        issue a permit to the original and substitute affected source 
        and unit in accordance with the approved substitution plan and 
        section 404. The Administrator shall allocate allowances for 
        the original and substitute affected units in accordance with 
        the approved substitution proposal pursuant to section 412. It 
        shall be unlawful for any source or unit that is allocated 
        allowances pursuant to this section to emit sulfur dioxide in 
        excess of the emissions limitation provided for in the approved 
        substitution permit and plan unless the owner or operator of 
        each unit governed by the permit and approved substitution plan 
        holds allowances to emit not less than the unit's total annual 
        emissions. The owner or operator of any original or substitute 
        affected unit operated in violation of this subsection shall be 
        fully liable for such violation, including liability for 
        fulfilling the obligations specified in section 406. If a 
        substitution proposal is disapproved, the Administrator shall 
        allocate allowances to the original affected unit or units in 
        accordance with subsection (a).
    ``(d) Eligible Phase I Extension Units.--
            ``(1) The owner or operator of any affected unit subject to 
        an emissions limitation requirement under this section may 
        petition the Administrator in its permit application under 
        section 404 for an extension of 2 years of the deadline for 
        meeting such requirement, provided that the owner or operator 
        of any such unit holds allowances to emit not less than the 
        unit's total annual emissions for each of the 2 years of the 
        period of extension. To qualify for such an extension, the 
        affected unit must either employ a qualifying phase I 
        technology, or transfer its phase I emissions reduction 
        obligation to a unit employing a qualifying phase I technology. 
        Such transfer shall be accomplished in accordance with a 
        compliance plan, submitted and approved under section 404, that 
        shall govern operations at all units included in the transfer, 
        and that specifies the emissions reduction requirements imposed 
        pursuant to this title.

        on each extension proposal in order of receipt, consistent with 
        section 404, and for an approved proposal shall designate the 
        unit or units as an eligible phase I extension unit. The 
        Administrator may approve an extension proposal in whole or in 
        part, and with such modifications or conditions as may be 
        necessary, consistent with the orderly functioning of the 
        allowance system, and to ensure the emissions reductions 
        contemplated by the subpart.
            ``(4) In order to determine the number of proposals 
        eligible for allocations from the reserve under subsection 
        (a)(2) and the number of the allowances remaining available 
        after each proposal is acted upon, the Administrator shall 
        reduce the total number of allowances remaining available in 
        the reserve by the number of allowances calculated according to 
        subparagraph (A), (B) and (C) until either no allowances remain 
        available in the reserve for further allocation or all approved

        allowances determined under subsection (a)(1) or (c) of this 
        section. In addition, for calendar year 1995, the Administrator 
        shall allocate to each eligible Phase I extension unit, from 
        the allowance reserve created pursuant to subsection (a)(2), 
        allowances equal to the difference between the lesser of the 
        average annual emissions in calendar years 1988 and 1989 or its 
        projected emission tonnage for calendar year 1995 and the 
        product of the unit's baseline multiplied by an emission rate 
        of 2.50 lbs/mmBtu, divided by 2,000. In calendar year 1996, the

        this subsection to emit sulfur dioxide in excess of the 
        emissions limitations provided for in the permit and approved 
        extension plan, unless the owner or operator of each unit 
        governed by the permit and approved plan holds allowances to 
        emit not less than the unit's total annual emissions.

        from any remaining allowances in the reserve created pursuant 
        to subsection (a)(2), following the reduction in the reserve 
        provided for in paragraph (4), not to exceed the amount by 
        which (A) the product of each eligible unit's baseline times an 
        emission rate of 1.20 lbs/mmBtu, divided by 2,000 exceeds (B) 
        the tonnage level specified under subparagraph (E) of paragraph 
        (2) of this subsection.
            ``(7) After January 1, 1997, in addition to any liability

        such excess from such unit's annual allowance allocation.
    ``(e)(1) In the case of a unit that receives authorization from the 
Governor of the State in which such unit is located to make reductions 
in the emissions of sulfur dioxide prior to calendar year 1995 and that 
is part of a utility system that meets the following requirements--
            ``(A) the total coal-fired generation within the utility 
        system as a percentage of total system generation decreased by 
        more than 20 percent between January 1, 1980, and December 31,

        Administrator shall allocate allowances under this paragraph 
        for the unit pursuant to this subsection. The Administrator 
        shall allocate allowances for a unit that is an affected unit 
        pursuant to section 414 (but is not also an affected unit under 
        this section) and part of a utility system that includes 1 or 
        more affected units under section 414 for reductions in the 
        emissions of sulfur dioxide made during the period 1995-1999 if 
        the unit meets the requirements of this subsection and the 
        requirements of the preceding sentence, except that for the 
        purposes of applying this subsection to any such unit, the 
        prior year concerned as specified below, shall be any year 
        after January 1, 1995 but prior to January 1, 2000.

in subparagraph (A), the allowances allocated under this subsection for 
early reductions in any prior year may not exceed the amount which (A) 
the product of the unit's baseline multiplied by the unit's 1985 actual 
sulfur dioxide emission rate (in lbs. per mmBtu), divided by 2,000 
exceeds (B) the allowances specified for such unit in Table A. In the 
case of an affected unit under section 414 described in subparagraph 
(A), the allowances awarded under this subsection for early reductions 
in any prior year may not exceed the amount by which (i) the product of 
the quality of fossil fuel consumed by the unit (in mmBtu) in the prior 
year multiplied by the lesser of 2.50 or the most stringent emission 
rate (in lbs. per mmBtu) applicable to the unit under the applicable 
implementation plan, divided by 2,000 exceeds (ii) the unit's actual 
tonnage of sulfur dioxide emission for the prior year concerned. 
Allowances allocated under this subsection for units referred to in 
subparagraph (A) may be allocated only for emission reductions achieved 
as a result of physical changes or changes in the method of operation 
made after November 15, 1990, including changes in the type or quality 
of fossil fuel consumed.
    ``(3) In no event shall the provisions of this paragraph be 
interpreted as an event of force majeure or a commercial 
impracticability or in any other way as a basis for excused 
nonperformance by a utility system under a coal sales contract in 
effect before November 15, 1990.

per year, the Administrator shall take such actions under the Act as 
may be appropriate to ensure that such emissions do not exceed 5.60 
million tons per year. Such actions may include the promulgation of new 
and revised standards of performance for new sources, including units 
subject to section 414(g)(2), under section 111(b), as well as 
promulgation of standards of performance for existing sources, 
including units subject to section 414(g)(2), under authority of this 
section. For an existing source regulated under this section, `standard 
of performance' means a standard which the Administrator determines is 
applicable to that source and which reflects the degree of emission 
reduction achievable through the application of the best system of 
continuous emission reduction which (taking into consideration the cost 
of achieving such emission reduction, and any nonair quality health and 
environmental impact and energy requirements) the Administrator 
determines has been adequately demonstrated for that category of 
sources.
    ``(c) Election.--Regulations promulgated under section 414(b) shall 
not prohibit a source from electing to become an affected unit under 
section 417.

``SEC. 419. TERMINATION.

    ``Starting January 1, 2010, the owners or operators of affected 
units and affected facilities under sections 412(b) and (c) and 416 and 
shall no longer be subject to the requirements of sections 412 through 
417.

``SEC. 424. EGU ALLOCATIONS.

    ``(a) In General.--Not later than 24 months before the commencement 
date of the sulfur dioxide allowance requirement of section 422, the 
Administrator shall promulgate regulations determining allocations of 
sulfur dioxide allowances for affected EGUs for each year during 2010 
through 2060. The regulations shall provide that:
            ``(1)(A) 95 percent of the total amount of sulfur dioxide 
        allowances allocated each year under section 423 shall be 
        allocated based on the sulfur dioxide allowances that were 
        allocated under subpart 1 for 2010 or thereafter and are held 
        in unit accounts and general accounts in the Allowance Tracking 
        System under section 403(c).

                2010 and thereafter that are recorded, as of 12:00 
                noon, Eastern Standard time, on the date 180 days after 
                enactment of the Clear Skies Act of 2003. The

applicable emission limitations under subsection (b)(1), (2), or (c), 
the owner or operator of two or more units subject to one or more of 
the applicable emission limitations set pursuant to these sections, may 
petition the permitting authority for alternative contemporaneous 
annual emission limitations for such units that ensure that--
            ``(A) the actual annual emission rate in pounds of nitrogen 
        oxides per million Btu averaged over the units in question is a 
        rate that is less than or equal to

regulations issued by the Administrator that the conditions in 
paragraph (1) can be met, the permitting authority shall issue 
operating permits for such units, in accordance with section 404 and 
title V, that allow alternative contemporaneous annual emission 
limitations. Such emission limitations shall only remain in effect 
while both units continue operation under the conditions specified in 
their respective operating permits. The Administrator shall implement 
this subsection under 40 CFR part 76 (2002), amended as appropriate by 
the Administrator.

``SEC. 474. EGU ALLOCATIONS.

    ``(a) In General.--Not later than 24 months before the commencement 
date of the mercury allowance requirement of section 472, the 
Administrator shall promulgate regulations determining allocations of 
mercury allowances for each year during 2010 through 2060 for units at 
a facility that commence operation by and are affected EGUs as of 
December 31, 2004. The regulations shall provide that the Administrator 
shall allocate each year for such units an amount determined by 
multiplying the allocation amount in section 473 by the ratio of the 
total amount of the adjusted baseline heat input of such units at the 
facility to the total amount of adjusted baseline heat input of all 
affected EGUs.
    ``(b) Failure To Promulgate.--(1) For each year 2010 through 2060,

        its primary or secondary fuel listed in the Administrator's 
        Emissions Scorecard 2001, Appendix B, Table B1 an amount of 
        mercury allowances by multiplying 95 percent of the allocation 
        amount under section 473 by the ratio of such unit's heat input 
        in the Emissions Scorecard 2001, Appendix B, Table B1 to the 
        total of the heat input in the Emissions Scorecard 2001,

        continuous program of construction or has entered into a 
        contractual obligation to undertake and complete, within a 
        reasonable time, a continuous program of construction. For 
        boilers and integrated gasification combined cycle plants, this 
        term does not include undertaking such a program or entering 
        into such an obligation more than 36 months prior to the date 
        on which the unit begins operation. For combustion turbines, 
        this term does not include undertaking such a program or 
        entering into such an obligation more than 18 months prior to 
        the date on which the unit begins operation.
            ``(2) The term `construction' means fabrication, erection, 
        or installation of an affected unit.
            ``(3) The term `affected unit' means any unit that is 
        subject to emission limitations under subpart 2 of part B, 
        subpart 2 of part C, or part D.

        unit that is not a new affected unit.
            ``(5) The term `new affected unit' means any affected unit, 
        the construction or reconstruction of which is commenced after 
        the date of enactment of the Clear Skies Act of 2003, except 
        that for the purpose of any revision of a standard pursuant to 
        subsection (e), `new affected unit' means any affected unit, 
        the construction or reconstruction of which is commenced after 
        the public of regulations (or, if earlier, proposed 
        regulations) prescribing a standard under this section that 
        will apply to such unit.
            ``(6) The term `reconstruction' means the replacement of 
        components of a unit to such an extent that--
                    ``(A) the fixed capital cost of the new components 
                exceeds 50 percent of the fixed capital cost that would

            ``(2) Prevention of significant deterioration.--Each area 
        designated as transitional pursuant to section 107(d)(1) shall 
        be treated as an attainment or unclassifiable area for purposes 
        of the prevention of significant deterioration provisions of 
        part C of this title.
            ``(3) Consequences of failure to attain by 2015.--No later 
        than June 30, 2016, the Administrator shall determine whether 
        each area designated as transitional for the 8-hour ozone 
        standard or for the PM 2.5 standard has attained that standard. 
        If the Administrator determines that a transitional area has 
        not attained the standard, the area shall be redesignated as 
        nonattainment within 1 year of the determination and the State 
        shall be required to submit a State implementation plan 
        revision satisfying the provisions of section 172 within 3 
        years of redesignation as nonattainment.''.
            (4) By adding to section 111(b)(1) a new subparagraph (C) 
        to read as follows:
                    ``(C) No standards of performance promulgated under 
                this section shall apply to units subject to 
                regulations promulgated pursuant to section 481.''.
            (5) By amending section 112 as follows:
                    (A) Paragraph (1) of subsection (c) is amended to 
                read as follows:
            ``(1) In general.--Not later than 12 months after November 
        15, 1990, the Administrator shall publish, and shall from time 
        to time, but not less often than every 8 years, revise, if 
        appropriate, in response to public comment or new information, 
        a list of all categories and subcategories of major sources and 
        area sources (listed under paragraph (3)) of the air pollutants 
        listed pursuant to subsection (b). Electric utility steam 
        generating units not subject to section 3005 of the Solid Waste 
        Disposal Act shall not be included in any category or 
        subcategory listed under this subsection. The Administrator 
        shall have the authority to regulate the emission of hazardous 
        air pollutants listed under section 112(b), other than mercury 
        compounds, by electric utility steam generating units in 
        accordance with the regime set forth in section 112(f)(2) 
        through (4). Any such regulations shall be promulgated within, 
        and shall not take effect before, the date 8 years after the 
        commencement date of the mercury allowance requirement of 
        section 472. To the extent practicable, the categories and 
        subcategories listed under this subsection shall be consistent 
        with the list of source categories established pursuant to 
        section 111 and part C. Nothing in the preceding sentence 
        limits the Administrator's authority to establish subcategories 
        under this section, as appropriate.''.
                    (B) Subparagraph (A) of subsection (n)(1) is 
                amended to read as follows:
                    ``(A) The Administrator shall perform a study of 
                the hazards to public health reasonably anticipated to 
                occur as a result of emissions by electric utility 
                steam generating units of pollutants listed under 
                subsection (b) after imposition of the requirements of 
                this Act. The Administrator shall report the results of 
                this study to the Congress within 3 years after 
                November 15, 1990.''.
            (6) Section 126 is amended as follows:
                    (A) By replacing ``section 110(a)(2)(D)(ii) or this 
                section'' in subsection (b) with ``section 
                110(a)(2)(D)(i)''.
                    (B) By replacing ``this section and the prohibition 
                of section 110(a)(2)(D)(ii)'' in subsection (e)(1) with 
                ``the prohibition of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)''.
                    (C) In the flush language at end of subsection (c) 
                by striking ``section 110(a)(2)(D)(ii)'' and inserting 
                ``section 110(a)(2)(D)(i)'' and deleting the last 
                sentence.
                    (D) By amending subsection (d) to read as follows:
    ``(d)(1) For purposes of this subsection, the term `affected unit' 
means any unit that is subject to emission limitations under subpart 2 
of part B, subpart 2 of part C, or part D.
    ``(2) To the extent that any petition submitted under subsection 
(b) after the date of enactment of the Clear Skies Act of 2003 seeks a 
finding for any affected unit, then, notwithstanding any provision in 
subsections (a) through (c) to the contrary--
            ``(A) in determining whether to make a finding under 
        subsection (b) for any affected unit, the Administrator shall 
        consider, among other relevant factors, emissions reductions 
        required to occur by the attainment date or dates of any 
        relevant nonattainment areas in the petitioning State or 
        political subdivision;
            ``(B) the Administrator may not determine that affected 
        units emit, or would emit, any air pollutant in violation of 
        the prohibition of section 110(a)(2)(D)(i) unless that 
        Administrator determines that--
                    ``(i) such emissions may be reduced at least as 
                cost-effectively as emissions from each other principal 
                category of sources of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen 
                oxides, including industrial boilers, on-road mobile 
                sources, and off-road mobile sources, and any other 
                category of sources that the Administrator may 
                identify; and
                    ``(ii) reductions in such emissions will improve 
                air quality in the petitioning State's nonattainment 
                area or areas at least as cost-effectively as 
                reductions in emissions from each other principal 
                category of sources of sulfur dioxide or nitrogen 
                oxides to the maximum extent that a methodology is 
                reasonably available to make such a determination.
        In making the determination under clause (ii), the 
        Administrator shall use the best available peer-reviewed models 
        and methodology that consider the proximity of the source or 
        sources to the petitioning State or political subdivision and 
        incorporate other sources characteristics.
            ``(C) The Administrator shall develop an appropriate peer 
        reviewed methodology for making determinations under 
        subparagraph (B) by December 31, 2006.
            ``(D) The Administrator shall not make any findings with 
        respect to an affected unit under this section prior to January 
        1, 2009. For any petition submitted prior to January 1, 2007, 
        the Administrator shall make a finding or deny the petition by 
        the January 31, 2009.
            ``(E) The Administrator, by rulemaking, shall extend the 
        compliance and implementation deadlines in subsection (c) to 
        the extent necessary to assure that no affected unit shall be 
        subject to any such deadline prior to January 1, 2012.''.
    (b) Title III.--Section 307(d)(1)(G) of title III of the Clean Air 
Act is amended to read as follows:
                    ``(G) the promulgation or revision of any 
                regulation under title IV,''.
    (c) Noise Pollution.--Title IV of the Clean Air Act (relating to 
noise pollution) (42 U.S.C. 7641 et seq.) is redesignated as title VII 
and amended by renumbering sections 401 through 403 as sections 701 
through 703, respectively.
    (d) Section 406.--Title IV of the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990 
(relating to acid deposition control) is amended by repealing section 
406 (industrial SO<INF>2</INF> emissions).
    (e) Monitoring.--Section 821(a) of title VIII of the Clean Air Act 
Amendments of 1990 (miscellaneous provisions) is amended by modifying 
section 821(a) to read as follows:

subpart 1 of part B of title IV of the Clean Air Act as of December 31, 
2009, shall also monitor carbon dioxide emissions according to the same 
timetable as in section 405(b). The regulations shall require that such 
data be reported to the Administrator. The provisions of section 405(e) 
of title IV of the Clean Air Act shall apply for purposes of this 
section in the same manner and to the same extent as such provision 
applies to the monitoring and data referred to in section 405. The 
Administrator shall implement this subsection under 40 CFR part 75 
(2002), amended as appropriate by the Administrator.''.
