The proposed Reduction of Carbon Dioxide Emissions from Coal-Fired Generation of Electricity Regulations (the proposed Regulations) will set a stringent performance standard for new coal-fired units and those that have reached the end of their useful life.

Stocks fall on worries about slower global economy
Dow falls below 11,000 after US stocks follow global markets lower on economic worries
NEW YORK (AP) — More signs of economic weakness sent stocks tumbling around the world Thursday.
Economic reports in the U.S. and Japan were the catalyst for the drop. The number of people who applied for unemployment benefits last week was higher than expected. And a report on inflation showed that consumers were paying more for gasoline, food and clothes. Japan said its exports fell 3.3 percent in July from a year earlier — the fifth straight month that exports fell for the world’s third-largest economy.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 445 points, or 3.9 percent, to 10,958 about an hour after the open. It was down more than 500 points earlier. The Standard & Poor’s 500 index fell 49 points, or 4.2 percent, to 1,144. The Nasdaq composite fell 112, or 4.5 percent, to 2,399.
Thursday’s plunge meant a return of volatility that has sent stocks falling since July 21. It came after stocks had been relatively stable this week — a time when investors were calmed by strong earnings reports.
