The bulk of these regulations require national emissions standards for hazardous air pollutants; analysis includes the Mercury and Air Toxic Standards and the Cross State Air Pollution Rule. Tobe included in the study, rules had to target stationary source emitters, and have promulgation dates between 2011 and 2013. Good and John D.
