Abstract: The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is requiring coal-fired electricity generating plants to submit information related to mercury emissions. This action allows more comprehensive information from which mercury emissions can be derived to be collected from utilities. It requires coal-fired utilities to collect and report for one year data that will better characterize the extent of mercury emissions from various kinds of coal-fired plants. EPA will use the collected information to aid in the Agency's future decisions about the regulation of mercury emissions from these plants.
