Cutting particle pollution, nitrogen NO x , and SO x by more than 25% as a co-benefit. The proposal provides guidelines for states to develop plans to meet state-specific goals to reduce carbon pollution and gives them the flexibility to design a program that makes the most sense for their unique situation. state compliance) to $7.4
