On August 15, 2006, the participating
states issued a model rule for the RGGI program. The
model set of regulations details the proposed program,
as outlined in the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
The model rule will form the basis of individual state
regulatory and/or statutory proposals to implement
the program.
Development of the model rule was
subject to detailed public input. On March 23, 2006,
the participating states released a draft version of
the model rule for public comment. The states received
public input on the draft model rule for a period of
60 days. In excess of 1,000 pages of comments were
received from more than 100 organizations.

Draft Model Rule
The states made substantial revisions
to the draft model rule in response to public comments.
Some of the changes made to the model rule required
substantive changes to the MOU. As a result, an amendment
to the MOU was also agreed to and signed by the agency
heads of the energy regulatory and environmental agencies
in each participating state.
The participating states
also released a Post-Model Rule Action Plan outlining
the actions that will be taken to implement the program
and work items that will be undertaken to support program
implementation.
