Why You Should Attend
The Clean Air Act is at the center of the national debate over climate change, the limits of executive power, and the intersection of energy, the economy, and the protection of the environment. With the 2016 elections on the horizon and the Congress deeply divided on not just how, but whether to address these contentious issues, President Obama has moved by administrative action to deal with what he describes as the most important policy issue for our generation.
Attend this nationally-recognized course for a comprehensive analysis of the most complex issues faced by regulators and practitioners. The Clean Air Act 2015 is enriched by the expertise of a diverse faculty of senior public officials including staff from the United States Congress, federal and state regulators, enforcement attorneys, private and corporate practitioners, and public interest advocates.
What You Will Learn
From the coal plants in Kentucky to the emission credit auctions in California, from the climate negotiations in Paris to the steps of the Supreme Court, the Clean Air Act is the foundation for the most vibrant environmental initiatives in the nation.
Our premiere panel of experts will engage registrants in a robust discussion of the most significant Clean Air Act and related initiatives that could very well affect your practice, including:
- The new Clean Power Plan regulations and their wide-reaching impact on alternative energy, clean technology, and the energy independence

- New developments in EPA’s attempts to regulate cross-state air pollution for regional haze, sulfur dioxide, ozone, and particulate matter

- The Clean Air Act in the courts, including the most recent updates of litigation in the Supreme Court
- New enforcement initiatives by government and citizen groups including EPA’s “next generation” compliance and enforcement plan
