On April 7, 1982, EPA published its proposed Emissions Trading Policy Statement which encourages states to use emission trades to achieve more flexible and rapid attainment of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) at less cost than would otherwise be possible. A summary of the Emissions Trading Policy (ETP) is presented and discussed in nine parts: air pollutants covered under ETP; sources that can use ETP; way in which sources can use the ETP; definition of emission reduction credit; definition of baseline emissions; use of emission reduction credits in bubbles, netting, and offsets; ambient tests; banking of emission reduction credits; state generic trading rules.
