Despite the fact that legislation to control acid rain is now in place in Both Canada and the United States, it would still be in both countries` best interest to deal explicitly with transboundary flows of sulfur dioxide. Dealing directly with transboundary acid rain as a reciprocal externality suggests a commitment to binational management that does not currently exist and allows for more cost-effective pollution control by encouraging abatement at lower-cost sources irrespective of national borders. A transborder emissions trading program for northeastern North America, an area encompassing eastern Ontario, southwestern Quebec, northern New York, and northern New England, is proposed. A binational pollution control program for this region could be administered by an authority such as the bilateral Air Quality Committee established by the 1991 Canada-United States Air Quality Agreement.
