'''Good Neighbor Plan''' (GNP) is an Environmental Protection Agency initiative managed by the Clean Air Markets Division that strengthens emissions controls on nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) from power plants and industrial facilities across 23 states, reducing ozone-forming pollution impacting downwind communities by an estimated 70,000 tons annually from power plants by 2026, though currently paused nationwide as of November 2024 due to judicial stays. Building on the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), it was finalized in March 2023 with a revised NOₓ trading program for power plants in 22 states starting in 2023 and industrial standards in 20 states phased in from 2026, delivering over $13 billion in projected health benefits for 2026 before a Supreme Court stay in June 2024 (Ohio v. EPA) and EPA’s subsequent administrative stay in October 2024, maintaining prior CSAPR obligations as litigation continues into 2025. | '''Good Neighbor Plan''' (GNP) is an Environmental Protection Agency initiative managed by the Clean Air Markets Division that strengthens emissions controls on nitrogen oxides (NOₓ) from power plants and industrial facilities across 23 states, reducing ozone-forming pollution impacting downwind communities by an estimated 70,000 tons annually from power plants by 2026, though currently paused nationwide as of November 2024 due to judicial stays. | ||
